Watch: Robben's flop wins dubious penalty for Bayern Munich

If winning penalties is an art form, Arjen Robben is the unrivaled maestro.
The Bayern Munich winger, who has often been criticised for his propensity to take a tumble inside the opposition penalty area, appeared to do just that Tuesday against Real Madrid.
Casemiro was adjudged to have fouled the Dutch star, though the replays suggest Robben was clever to win the spot kick.
Regardless, Robert Lewandowski stepped up and slotted it home, and Bayern Munich, after looking flat in the opening stanza, now needs to score just one more unanswered goal to erase the 2-1 first-leg deficit.
