Pep Guardiola had it all figured out, but he never thought Nicklas Bendtner would spoil his DFL Super Cup party. The former Arsenal striker became Wolfsburg's hero this evening by giving the Wolves their first ever title in this competition, thanks to his 89th minute goal and later penalty.
Bayern had gone ahead shortly after the halftime break, thanks to Arjen Robben's left footed strike, and as Guardiola started pulling his men back to defend their lead, Kevin De Bruyne crossed the ball from the right-hand side to find "Lord" Bendtner inside Manuel Neuer's box to equalize the game when there seemed to be no hope for the hosts.
Xabi Alonso's miss from the spot was too much for Die Roten to handle, while Nicklas Bendtner drilled his shot into the top right-hand corner to make Wolfsburg fans celebrate.
Here are some of the best comments about "Lord" Bendtner's performance against the Bavarians.

Nicklas Bendtner scored a last minute equalizer and the winning penalty vs Bayern. That is both a fact and a joke.
