Classy Robben: I'm not the best in the world

This is simply class from Arjen Robben as Thegoalmac can reveal that Bayern Munich attacker he has remained humble in the wake of Karl-Heinz Rummenigge's comments that he is the best outfield player in the world.

I love it when people are really honest, especially with issues as difficult as this one, kudos to Robben. Read  his response after Mr Rummenigge said he is the best in the world after the cut.


The Netherlands international impressed in Saturday's 4-0 Bundesliga win over Augsburg, scoring twice to take his tally for 2014-15 to 10 goals in 17 appearances in all competitions.

"Did Rummenigge say I'm the best in the world? Well, I don't think that's right to be honest," the 30-year-old told the official Bundesliga website.

This weekend's win over Augsburg means that Bayern cannot be overhauled at the top of the Bundesliga before Christmas - yet Robben is not getting carried away just yet.

"The win over Augsburg was more important than being crowned Herbstmeister [winter champions]," he added. "We had some difficulties in the first half, so the three points are what's most important.

"We have two more games until the winter break and have to get good results in those games. We'll have a break at last after that."

Bayern hold a nine-point lead over second-placed Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga table, while they sit 15 points clear of joint numbers three Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Monchengladbach and Augsburg.
