Bayern pair put differences in the past as they look forward

Bayern Munich pair Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery are friends again after previously falling out. The duo suffered a much-publicised dressing room bust-up during half-time of their UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg against Real Madrid in April. Bayern were reported to have fined Ribery €50,000 (£39,000) and the Frenchman and Robben were said to have been hauled in front of the club's hierarchy for a ticking off. But Robben now says the pair have put their differences in the past as they prepare for the new season. "Something happened and it wasn't easy. I found it a pity what happened," Robben told Bild. "Up until then our relationship had been really good on and off the pitch." "Now everything is once again in order. We're going in the same direction once again and I hope to enjoy playing with him again."
