Real Madrid Vs. Bayern Munich, 2012 UEFA Champions League: Robben Booked For Dissent, Pepe Whines

Oooh, that's close from Real Madrid now. The hosts spray the ball out wide and Alvaro Arbeloa puts himself in position for a dangerous cross, but a good clearance from Holger Badstuber sets Franck Ribery away. He's muscled off the ball by Pepe, going shoulder to shoulder with the centre back, who does very well to win a throw-in. He wants more than that, however, writhing around in apparent agony. I have no idea why. Meanwhile, Arjen Robben breaks down the other wing following a free kick, and Marcelo chops him down. Robben wants a free kick - rightly - and doesn't get it. Injury is added to insult when the Bayern man is booked for dissent.

Anyway, we’re into stoppage time now. We’ll have two minutes before extra time - will one of these teams be able to break through for the winner? A goal now ends it.
