Bayern Munich winger Robben: Leaving Real Madrid best decision of career

Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben has no regrets quitting Real Madrid.

Robben left Real in 2009 for the German giants.

"My problem was not that Real Madrid had better players than me in the squad, which they had not, but the office people wanted to sell me. I did not want to leave but before that, I could do nothing.

"I had to accept it, because it really is very difficult when you want to play and they prefer to sell," said Robben.

"(But) leaving Real Madrid was the best decision of my life."
