Bundesliga Bundesliga 2
Arjen Robben (r.), here celebrating FC Bayern's last Bundesliga title win in 2010 with team-mate Franck Ribery, <br> became accustomed to success at an early age. He has continued to win silverware ever since... Robben's ability was clear even as a young boy. Such was his potential that Dutch giants <br> PSV Eindhoven were prompted to secure the winger's services when he was just 18 His career has subsequently taken a steady upward trajectory. A move to English side <br> Chelsea followed, where he won the Premier League twice and the FA Cup once His close control caught the eye of Spanish giants Real Madrid, who tempted the Dutchman to the Spanish <br> capital in summer 2007. More titles followed and FC Bayern secured his signature two years later The 28-year-old has suffered a series of injuries with the Bavarians and is often targeted by oppostion players. <br> Nevertheless, he has established himself as a vital member of the starting eleven Robben's talent has of course also been recognised by the Netherlands. After making his international debut in 2003 as a 19-year-old, <br> Robben has since participated in every major tournament and helped the <i>Oranje</i> to a runners-up medal at the 2010 FIFA World Cup But there have also been hiccups along the way. Penalties played a decisive role in Bayern's 2011/12 season, both domestically and internationally. Robben's miss from the spot away to Borussia Dortmund on 11 April 2012 all but handed the Bundesliga trophy to the Yellow-Blacks "Robbery," the collective term of endearment coined by fans for Robben and fellow winger Franck Ribery, <br> have not always seen eye to eye, but the duo insist they are focused on the same targets for the coming season Despite missing several weeks through injury in 2011/12, Robben was still one of the most prolific forwards in the league, <br> with twelve goals and six assists. Now back to full fitness, the flying Dutchman is set to return to his menacing best
