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

Stay connected with SB Nation

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.
