This is called mocking his opponent, even if it may not be the intention of Arjen Robben. Asked after the clash between Manchester City and Bayern Munich (1-3) accounting for the second day of group matches of the Champions League, the Dutch winger said he was surprised by the ease with which his team played the match.

“I do not expect an easy game like that,” he dropped to Sky Sports. “I expected more from City, to be honest,” he says. And he talks in veiled terms  about errors made by Man City during the meeting: “We were given plenty of space and we have taken full advantage. There were some great attacking moves and our playmaker was also at a very high level. “

Arjen Robben scored the third goal of the Bavarian Wednesday night at Etihad Stadium. A goal that banished any hope for the Red Devils, completely unrecognizable on their own ground. Dispossessed of the ball (61 to 64% of possession for Bayern), Yaya Toure and his teammates have spent much of their time running after the opponent to look for chances.

The reduction of the score by the Spanish striker Negredo in the 79th minute did not change the results of the meeting. Bayern was already far enough.
