VIDEO: Arjen Robben being Arjen Robben

Conan Doherty

There was an old Ronaldo clip that used to do the rounds.

The Brazilian Ronaldo.

It compiled about 40 different shots of the striker stepping over the ball, darting to his left and drilling home.

It read: Everybody knows Ronaldo goes to his left.

It showed about five more clips of the same trick and then it read:

‘But no-one can stop him’.

Everybody in the civilized world knows full well that Arjen Robben is left-footed but he can just weave that wand from anywhere with any time or space, at any angle. No-one can stop him.

The Dutch man scored a screamer on Wednesday night for Bayern Munich but it wasn’t enough as they went down 2-1 at home to Mainz.

It wasn’t a great night for the Munich outfit or for the outgoing Pep Guardiola whose new club Manchester City are trying their hardest to ensure the new manager doesn’t have Champions League football next year.

It was a good night for Robben lovers though. For football lovers.
