Robben happy with the away win

The Netherlands international believes the Bavarian giants played on top of their game during their win against Juventus, which was aided by goals from Mario Mandzukic and Claudio Pizarro

Bayern Munich right winger Arjen Robben was ecstatic as his side recorded a 2-0 victory over Juventus in Turin on Wednesday to qualify for the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League. Der FCB had a comfortable 2-0 lead from the first leg and they dominated possession and beat the Italian side by the same scoreline.

“Yeah, I think it was the perfect away performance,” Robben told Sky Sports.

“If you win 2-0 away in Turin, that’s an amazing result because they’re unbeaten in so many games in Italy and they’re such a perfect team; so strong at the back.

“So, if you dominate the game, too, then I think it’s a great performance.”

“I think [Germans] will want us kept apart,” the winger mused. “I think that’s what we’re hoping for. I think it’d be nice if we’re mixed up, but we don’t have a choice.

“It’s going to be a big one, the semi-final, as we’re maybe the four best teams in the world at the moment, so it’s going to be very nice.”

“We knew that was going to happen,” the Netherlands international explained. “We had such a big gap with the second place, but I think it’s good that it’s done and dusted, and that we can focus on the Champions League now,”

“Next week we also play in the semi-final in the German Cup, so we have some pretty big games coming up.”

Robben stated that they played really well on away soil. He further added that winning 2-0 in Turin is very difficult as Juventus have remained unbeaten in several matches and are a great team.
