Robben still 'mad' at Pep over penalty call, claims Ribery

The Dutchman refused to take a spot kick for Bayern in their 5-0 win over Viktoria Plzen, which left the head coach confused and a Roten legend fuming.

Arjen Robben is still seething from not being permitted by Pep Guardiola to take a penalty at the weekend, Franck Ribery has claimed on the back of Bayern Munich's 5-0 victory over Viktoria Plzen.

The Roten coach stopped the Dutch winger from taking a spot kick in favour of Thomas Muller in Saturday's 4-1 Mainz triumph, but on Wednesday was shouting from the sidelines for the 29-year-old to take a penalty.

Arjen Robben delighted with Bayern Munich's 'easy' victory over Manchester City

While City manager Manuel Pellegrini admits his side 'played really badly', but refuses to single out goalkeeper Joe Hart for blame.

The Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben said that his side never expected beating Manchester City to be “as easy” as they found it tonight in a comprehensive 3-1 victory for the European champions who outplayed the home side.

Robben scored the third of the three goals for Bayern who had Jerome Boateng sent off in the last ten minutes with a straight red card. Robben said: “The first 70 minutes we played some terrific football. We were so dominant against a big team in Europe. We didn't expect an easy game like that.
