#1 Arjen Robben
He played well for Chelsea. He played well for Real too, but he has been magnificent for Bayern. In fact, the Dutch International enjoyed his best years at the Bavarian club. He has been so influential for them that it is difficult to imagine a Bayern side without him.
A marauding run through the right flank, a sudden change in direction, a quick cut into the left and curler from inside of the left foot to the top right corner of the far post. That is his signature move and how often have we seen it!
The moment he starts this move, everybody- the player, the spectators and the opposition- know what is going to happen. Even in his predictability lies a hue of deception that always prevents the opposition from stopping the goal.
Playing as an inverted winger for Bayern, this former Chelsea man has all the elements to wow the spectators and he has wowed them too often. With Ribery taking up a similar role in the left of the midfield, Bayern has been a scary opponent even for the elites of Europe.
He has played 290 matches for Bayern and scored 138 goals. It was unfortunate to see him limp out of the field against Real in the semi-final. His absence proved costly as Bayern missed a lot of opportunities and looked toothless in attack. Hopefully, he will return to face Real at Bernabeu next week to fight and gain Bayern a birth in the final of the UCL.
