This is absolute gold.
Many top level professional footballers don’t take too kindly to being substituted. Some, such as Arjen Robben here, like to make sure everybody watching the game knows they’re not happy about it, too.
The Dutch winger was taken off for the final minutes of Bayern Munich’s win away at Borussia Mönchengladbach on Sunday afternoon and made it perfectly clear that he wasn’t too chuffed with the decision.
Having slapped away the hand of manager, Carlo Ancelotti, Robben takes his seat on the bench. After a quick swig of water, he tosses the bottle away, and shakes his head for couple of seconds more.
But it’s not a pissed off Robben’s actions that make this video so entertaining. It’s the fact that all of the other men on Bayern’s bench appear to find his reaction utterly hilarious.
The likes of Xabi Alonso and Franck Ribery can be seen openly laughing at Robben throughout…

With Robben back on the bench, Bayern got over the line to win the game by a single goal. They lead the Bundesliga by 13 points heading into the international break, with RB Leipzig their nearest challengers.
