Bayern Munich Were at Their Best Last Season When Arjen Robben Wasn’t Playing
A strong finish to last season and a great start to this one makes people forget a very important thing about Bayern Munich and their extremely deep squad – Arjen Robben wasn’t even playing for about half a season last year, probably when Bayern were playing their best football.
