Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben has revealed that he himself asked not to perform penalty kick after the end of the overtime in the match against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Last night, Bayern lost with 1:2 in regular time, which led to overtime and penalties, where the Germans showed more steady nerves and qualified for the finals.

The Dutchman was accurate from the white point in the 27th minute, to return Bayern in the game after two quick hits of "white ballet" in beginning of the match.

However Robben has decided not to participate in the decisive penalties after the end of the overtime, because according to him second attempt from 11 meters in the same match is always tough, especially against a former teammate. "Casillas and I know well because we played together two years. And is much more difficult to score for second time from the white dot. That's why I didn't performed the penalty at the end" said 28-year-old.

"I want to hear what will say Mr Beckenbauer now," did not fail to be jammed with Bayern legend Robben. Beckenbauer again criticized in the Dutch national address after his missed penalty scorer against Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga. "Have I talked to him? No and I don't feel the need to do. Not for the first time I stand against Iker at a crucial moment. My shot was strong enough and accurate, the other doesn't matter" ended Robben.
