Arjen Robben: 'Bayern Munich still strong'

Arjen Robben insists that Bayern Munich remain strong despite winning just one trophy last season.

Arjen Robben has dismissed suggestions that Bayern Munich need an overhaul of their squad this summer.

Despite romping to the Bundesliga title, Pep Guardiola's side failed to win any other trophies last season.

Sections of the German press have criticised Bayern for failing to dominate on a number of fronts during the 2014-15 campaign, but Robben believes that injuries played a big part in their perceived lack of success.

"It seems to have been said that Bayern should be ashamed of last season and that we need to attract lots of new players, but that's nonsense," the 31-year-old told Algemeen Dagblad. "We became German champions with a lead of 10 points and we reached two semi-finals.

"If Javi Martinez is back fully fit, if myself and Franck Ribery can get back fit, if David Alaba and Thiago Alcantara can continue their comebacks, then we are still very strong. We can still beat anyone."

Robben scored 19 goals in 30 appearances for Bayern last season.
