Bayern Munich's Dramatic Champions League Triumph in 2013
A Hard-Fought Victory at Home
One of three finals in four years
In 2013, Bayern Munich reached their third UEFA Champions League final in four years. However, the road to victory had been filled with both triumph and disappointment before. In 2010 and 2012, they had suffered heartbreaking defeats in the final, making them the first team since 1984 to reach the final at their home stadium only to lose.
An All-German Final
In 2013, Bayern Munich faced a familiar opponent in the final: Borussia Dortmund. It was the first time two German teams had met in the Champions League final. The match was played in front of a sold-out Wembley Stadium in London, with both teams eager to make history.
Robben's Late Heroics
The match was a tense and closely contested affair, with both teams having chances to win. However, it was Bayern Munich who emerged victorious in the end thanks to a late goal from winger Arjen Robben. In the 89th minute, Robben received the ball on the right wing and cut inside the Dortmund defense. With a clinical finish, he sent the ball into the bottom corner of the net, securing Bayern Munich's fifth Champions League title.
