WATCH THE CLIP

<p>Robben told the club's media: "It's really great to be with old team-mates again to play around and have some fun. It was fun. But honestly I didn't think before the tournament that it would be so serious. But it's good now. I think the most important thing is to have a beer together afterwards. A bit of niggle on the pitch, that's fine, but it's over now."</p>

<p>The tournament also featured legends teams from Ajax, Stuttgart and AC Milan at the SAP Garden in Munich. After an exciting group stage, Bayern beat Dortmund 2-0 in the semi-finals to book a final date with Real Madrid.
