Who scored Bayern Munich's late winner in the 2013 UEFA Champions League final?

The story behind the answer

Who scored Bayern Munich’s late winner in the 2013 UEFA Champions League final? Arjen Robben scored Bayern Munich’s late winner. His 89th-minute goal secured a 2–1 victory over Borussia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium.

The all-German final was level at 1–1 when Franck Ribéry worked the ball into Robben’s path inside the penalty area. Robben kept his composure and slid a left-footed finish beyond Roman Weidenfeller. Mario Mandžukić had earlier put Bayern ahead, while İlkay Gündoğan equalized for Dortmund from the penalty spot.

The goal was especially significant for Robben because he had missed decisive chances in Bayern’s 2010 final defeat and had also lost the 2012 final at Bayern’s home stadium. His Wembley finish redeemed those disappointments and delivered Bayern’s fifth European Cup, their first since 2001.

Thomas Müller and Franck Ribéry were influential teammates, while Mandžukić scored Bayern’s opening goal. None of them scored the late winner; that moment belongs to Robben.
