Bayern Munich star Arjen Robben says Anfield is his "worst stadium" ahead of the German champions' blockbuster Champions League showdown with Liverpool.
Robben and his teammates will travel to the iconic ground on Tuesday night for the first leg of their Round of 16 tie, and the Netherlands international was transparent about his feelings towards the Reds' home.
"I think, if you ask the worst stadium for me, it’s probably Liverpool," Robben told The Guardian.
"You always have your favourite opponent and there always has to be a negative one."
The 35-year-old has been on the wrong end of a number of heavy defeats at the famed arena, including a 4-0 loss in 2009 when playing for Real Madrid.
He was also twice knocked out of the Champions League at Anfield, in 2005 and again in 2007, so Anfield certainly holds bad memories for the flashy winger.
Robben will have to watch from the bench against the Reds after failing to overcome an injury that has not been disclosed. Jerome Boateng will also not feature for Bayern after struggling with his own fitness.
