Bayern Munich clinched UEFA Super Cup victory over Chelsea on penalties after a thrilling 2-2 draw at the Eden Arena in Prague on Friday. The Premier League outfit took the lead early in the first half when Fernando Torres brilliantly finished off a flowing move, but it was pegged back shortly after the break by a long-distance Franck Ribery strike. Prior to the game going to extra time, Jose Mourinho's men lost Ramires to a second bookable offense, but they were back in front when Eden Hazard's effort deceived Manuel Neuer to restore their advantage. However, a tap-in from substitute Javi Martinez at the death sent the game to penalties, where Neuer's save from Romelu Lukaku's weak effort handed Bayern the trophy.

Robben scored a go-ahead goal in the 89th minute to give Bayern Munich a 2-1 victory over German rival Borussia Dortmund on Saturday night in the Champions League final, ending four years of frustration for his team in club soccer's biggest tournament. "I don't know how many times I dreamed about it," Robben said. "Everybody I spoke to before the game, I said, `Today is going to be the night and we're going to do it.' To do it in the end is an unbelievable feeling." Bayern had lost two of the last three Champions League finals.
