Joining Bayern Munich in 2009, Robben has enjoyed a wealth of success at the German giants, scoring the winning goal in the UEFA Champions League Final in 2013 and collecting five Bundesliga titles.


He also recently signed a contract extension at The Bavarians, keeping him at the club until 2018. In the same interview with Kicker, he commented: "I'm no longer the youngest. If I was 29 or 30, just an additional year's deal would be a bad sign but with this we can look at it again next winter. Perhaps then I'll think this is the end."
