Arjen Robben inspires one of the most incredible comebacks of all time for Bayern Munich

You'd nearly think FIFA 17 was real life!

This sort of stuff isn’t supposed to happen in real life.

What do you think are the greatest comebacks in history of football?

  • Barcelona coming back from 4-0 against PSG this year?
  • United and 1999?
  • Liverpool in the 2005 Champions League final?
  • Arsenal throwing away a four-goal lead to Newcastle?

Another match to add to this list happened on Saturday. With six minutes to go, the tie between German champions Bayern Munich and second place RB Leipzig had already seen six goals. But it looked like Leipzig were going to ride out the game as a comfortable 4-2 victory.

Ha!

84′ – Robert Lewandowski scores. 4-3.

94′ – David Alaba scores a beautiful free kick. 4-4.

95′ – Arjen Robben goes on on this incredible solo run to win it. 4-5.

Even written down, it’s hard to believe. You don’t normally see this sort of stuff without a ‘disconnect’ message coming across your Playstation.
