Watch: Even by Arjen Robben’s standards this is an horrendus dive

Awful

Robert Redmond

He’s still at it.

Arjen Robben, despite being a world class player, with wonderful close control and balance, continues to struggle with gravity.

The Dutch winger was in action for Bayern Munich last night and was booked for a pitiful attempt to win a penalty. Even by Robben’s standards, this was bad.

Jerome Boateng played a cross into the penalty area, Robben, pulling across to the back post, threw himself to the ground after a Frankfurt defender barely touched him.

The Bayern Munich winger is 31 years old now, but still feels the need to throw himself to the ground like a toddler.
