For Bayern, Arjen Robben converted a first half penalty and French international and Bayern playmaker Frank Ribery found the net in the second half. With this victory Die Borussen scripted history by winning their first domestic double for the first time in their 103 year history. "That was a cup final which no one from Dortmund could have better imagined," beamed Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp after his first cup win. "We cannot complain. Our entire defensive play was a catastrophe," admitted Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes. "We have to take the blame and we did not deserve to win. We still have a major goal in mind and I think we will have all recovered from the shock by the Champions League final. That will be a completely different game."
