Arjen Robben has set his sights on a Chelsea rematch after putting his final heartbreak behind him.
Robben's first congratulatory texts to his mobile phone after Bayern Munich's Champions League win were from ex-Chelsea team mates Frank Lampard and John Terry.
It
was a sweet moment for Robben who lost the Champions League final to
Chelsea last year and the Dutch winger has also lost a World Cup final
in his bitter sweet career.
But now Robben is looking forward to a
Super Cup final showdown with Europa League winners Chelsea next season
and he has no doubt that Bayern will rule Europe for years to come.
Robben
said: "We have more games coming - World Cup for clubs, the Super Cup
against Chelsea. Amazing. I'm looking forward to it. I already saw on my
mobile I already had text messages from JT and Lamps.
"But this
is the biggest one, it is the biggest night of my life for sure without a
doubt. We speak about this final for so long, people ask me this
question and I said when I finally win this thing, I'm done on club
level. Silverware: Arjen Robben with the FA Cup in his Chelsea days

"It is the highest you can achieve. I've won titles in four
countries now, cups, but in the end it is all about this Champions
League one. Now you are in the books.
"It is sweeter after last
year. Of course, I put it to sleep. That is the best thing, the nice
thing about sports, football. If you are down there, you have been
through these tough moments, then to come back. "I think when you
lose things, you are going through tough moments, for example the
biggest one if when you lose the Champions league final at home in your
own stadium for the second time.
"This was the third time in four
years we had been in the final. I think if you lose this things and in
the end come back and win in the end, that is sweet.
"I think the
Bundesliga in the last two or three years has developed. Teams getting
stronger. I think it is not a coincidence that two German teams were in
the final this season. I think both teams have proven over the campaign
that they are up there for a reason."
Robben will also think of
Wembley as his second home now after keeping a small piece of netting
after the Bayern players cut up one of the goal nets as a momento.
Robben
added: "It's a special stadium, I have already been lucky to play the
first FA Cup final in the new stadium which we won against Manchester
United. One or two years ago we played with Holland, won 3-2 with two
goals so it is a little bit my stadium already.
"I said that last time we played here. It's a pity they don't have a club here like FC Wembley - I'd have to move straight away!
"I'm
proud to be part of this team, what we achieved with this team I think
we wrote history. I have two years left on my contract - I am very happy
at this club, I have always been. Let's wait."
