BERLIN: Bayern Munich marked the end of an era on Saturday , as iconic duo Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery both scored in their final Bundesliga game to secure a seventh straight league title for Bayern.

Flying Dutchman Robben announced his departure in December, but remained injured for much of the season before returning to standing ovations against Hanover earlier this month. For the following decade, Robben and Ribery electrified the Allianz Arena on opposing flanks, earning the joint nickname"Robbery".Together, they laid waste to dozens of defences in a pincer movement of pace and quick feet, the left-footed Robben cutting inside from the right flank while right-footer Ribery did so from the left.

When Robben joined the club in 2009, it was nearly a decade since Bayern had last reached the Champions League semi-finals. Ribery, who also won the double in 2008, is now the only player in Bundesliga history to have won nine league titles.
