Almost six years ago, Arjen Robben and Franck Ribéry last played together for FC Bayern. Last night, during the 125th-anniversary celebrations, Robbéry reunited at the Beckenbauer Cup.
The legendary duo, along with many other stars, participated in a small-field tournament in front of 9,500 spectators at the SAP Arena in Munich. Also in attendance were legendary teams from Borussia Dortmund, VfB Stuttgart, AC Milan, Ajax, and Real Madrid.
Even during the warm-up, the joy of the two former Bayern stars for another dance together was evident. The fun factor was as noticeable then as it is now. It's easy to almost miss your turn.

On the field, a very familiar sight for those who followed the Bundesliga between 2010 and 2019. A combination that is hard to stop.

Dortmund's Kobel scoffs at heat fears: 'Football's played in summer'

Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel reacts after the German Bundesliga soccer match between Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund at BayArena. Rolf Vennenbernd/dpa Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel has little time for those moaning about the soaring temperatures at the Club World Cup in the United States. His own coach Niko Kovač said that standing on the sidelines during Saturday's 4-3 midday win over Mamelodi Sundowns in Cincinnati was like being "in a sauna." Advertisement Dortmund have looked lethargic in both group games so far but the Switzerland stopper sees no excuses. "It's summer. That obviously means it is going to be hot," he told reporters. "Of course it is easier playing in 15 degrees Celsius and drizzle. But football's played in summer too. We have to deal with it." Dortmund went behind to the South Africans and then had a scare late on when the outsiders scored twice to cut the deficit to 4-3. The Germans are second in Group F and will reach the last 16 with a point in their final game against eliminated Ulsan HD of South Korea on Wednesday. "Apart from the result, we cant take many positives," Kobel said after beating the Sundowns. "The fact is that we shouldn't be shipping three goals. It is also a fact that we shouldn't be conceding the way we did."

Real Madrid Vs. Pachuca Club World Cup Line Up: Galactico Sits Out

Real Madrid will continue its Club World Cup campaign without Kylian Mbappe, who won't play any part ... More in Los Blancos' second group game against Pachuca on Sunday afternoon in the United States. Real Madrid will continue its Club World Cup campaign without Kylian Mbappe, who won't play any part in Los Blancos' second group game against Pachuca on Sunday afternoon in the United States. President Florentino Perez's summer of 2024 Galactico was taken to hospital earlier this week, after coming down with what the club described as an 'acute case of gastroenteritis'. As confirmed by his head coach Xabi Alonso at a prematch press conference on Saturday, however, the Frenchman has sinec returned to the La Liga giant's Palm Becah training complex and could make his return to action in Madrid's next outing. 'He is better, he returned from the hospital and is recovering. We are optimistic to have him against Salzburg," Alonso said. Scoring in the 1-1 draw against Al-Hilal that was Madrid's opener, academy prospect Gonzalo will replace the Frenchman once more and received praise from his manager. 'He can contribute what he did the other day, he is a striker who can be a reference, and he had three chances in addition to the goal,' Alonso said. 'We didn't have so many players in the area, but we'll see in the future. Now we're focused on this competition. Decisions will be made later,' the Spaniard added. Completing the front line will be Rodrygo and a Vinicius Jr. who was criticized back home for still not being his best against opposition hailing from the Pro League which he's been linked with a big money move to. After saying he doesn't believe Madrid has to help recover the Brazilian's best version, Alonso stated that Vinicius is doing 'well'. 'But we all want to push to make him decisive as he has been so many times,' Alonso accepted. 'He has that unpredictable football that makes him different. When he can connect on the pitch with his essence, he is fundamental'. As for the rest of the line up, Thibaut Courtois again starts in goal while Fran Garcia and Trent Alexander are the full backs. Dean Huijsen and Raul Asencio form a central defensive partnership, and have Aurelien Tchouameni in front of them for protection as a sole pivot. With Jude Bellingham and Fede Valverde the midfielders, the front line is as stated with Vinicius, Gonzalo and Rodrygo from left to right. Real Madrid First XI Vs. Pachuca: Courtois; Fran, Huijsen, Asencio, Trent; Tchouameni, Bellingham, Valverde; Vinicius, Gonzalo, Rodrygo Real Madrid needs a win in the Club World Cup After drawing against Al-Hilal, Real Madrid needs a win in at Pachuca's expense to take the pressure off Alonso's men and put one foot into the next round.
