  • Story Text: Bayern Munich fans watching the Champions League final jumped from their seats when Jupp Heyncke's team beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 at London's Wembley stadium on Saturday (May 25).
    Thousands of Bayern fans had come to the fanzone in Munich's Allianz Arena to watch on two video screens as Bayern Munich's Arjen Robben slotted in an 89th minute winner to be crowned European champions for the fifth time.
    Dutchman Robben raced into the area and beat goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller in a stunning finale to the first all-German Champions League final.
    Bayern, on the backfoot for much of the first half, struck on the hour with Robben cutting the ball back for Mario Mandzukic to poke home from close range.
    The German champions' joy was short-lived though as Dortmund levelled eight minutes later with Ilkay Guendogan's well-struck penalty awarded for a clumsy Dante challenge on Marco Reus.
    Dortmund looked to be holding on for extra time before Robben broke free to score the winner and send the Bayern fans into raptures.
