'I will completely destroy him!' - Aogo reveals he used to wind up Robben in an attempt to stop him

Arjen Robben overcame hard tackles and harsh insults to destroy defenders - but would always shake your hand at the end of the game, according to former Bundesliga full-back Dennis Aogo.

Up until his retirement last summer, Robben had spent his 17-year professional career for PSV, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich cutting inside from the right wing and twisting left backs to his will, and Aogo has revealed the lengths he went to in trying to stop the Dutchman.

During Robben's 10-year stint at Bayern, Aogo came up against him multiple times for Freiburg, Hamburg, Schalke and Stuttgart, and went through the full repertoire of defensive dark arts to try and stop him - but the winger would always get the better of him before being a perfect sportsman come the final whistle.
