Now we have to win it, says Bayern's Robben

Bayern Munich's stunning 7-0 aggregate victory over Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Champions League will count for nothing if they do not go on to win the competition at Wembley later this month, Arjen Robben said on Wednesday.

"We said immediately after the game 'now we need to win it'," Robben, who curled home Bayern's first in the 3-0 win at the Nou Camp on Wednesday, said in a post-match TV interview.

"Our aim is to win it this time. We have played a superb season, and tonight again. Now we have to complete it on the 25th.

"We have to stay calm," he added ahead of the first all German final against Borussia Dortmund on May 25. "At this moment we are playing great football and we have to enjoy this. But we have to try to improve over and over again.

"We are in the final for the third time in four years but it's time to win it now. It's going to be a big one. Dortmund have proved they are a very good team."

Bayern were beaten by Chelsea on penalties on home turf in last year's final and suffered a defeat by Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan side in the 2010 final but have the chance to make up for those disappointments against rivals Dortmund.

While Bayern were ruthless in both legs, Barca were a pale imitation of the side that beat Manchester United at Wembley in the 2011 final with Lionel Messi almost anonymous in the first leg and on the bench for the Nou Camp return.

"My team was very focused," Bayern manager Jupp Heynckes said. "We knew what we were up against. We played an outstanding game but there is a difference of Barca with and without Messi.

"But still it is a result one could not forecast."
