Borussia Dortmund v FC Bayern Muenchen - UEFA Champions League Final
Arjen Robben scored the match-winning goal in the 2013 Champions League final

For someone who has been criticised time and again for disappearing in important matches, Arjen Robben sure does have a lot of trophies. The winger has won league titles in Spain, England, and the Netherlands.

And he has now won pretty much every trophy that he possibly could have with Bayern Munich in Germany, including six Bundesliga titles, four DFB Pokals, and the Champions League.

Unfortunately, Robben has not seen similar success on the international level, with the Dutch team under-performing significantly in recent decades. The Netherlands and Robben came close in the 2010 World Cup, reaching the final where they lost 1-0 to Spain.

Robben has also not had much luck at the Ballon d'Or, coming closest to winning it in 2014, when he finished in 4th place.
