Player ratings (?):

Outstanding winger who is the most expensive player in Dutch football history.

He left Chelsea last summer when Real Madrid paid £24million for the forward.

Robben began his footballing career with local side Groningen but his potential was soon spotted by PSV Eindhoven and they landed him in 2002.

Just a couple of years at The Philips Stadion, Chelsea utilised their co-operation with PSV by landing Robben ahead of Manchester United - who would not match the £12million fee.

Robben enjoyed a tremendous debut campaign in England and was short-listed for the Young Player of the Year award but was beaten to it by Wayne Rooney.

In 2007 Real Madrid made overtures and that was enough to turn his head and Robben confirmed his desire to move to the Spanish capital and they signed him on a five-year deal last summer.

As many predicted Robben has been anything but a first-team regular and has started just ten league games for the Spanish champions.
