BERLIN - Bayern Munich coach Louis van Gaal insisted on Saturday Holland's Arjen Robben and France's Franck Ribery are just as important to the German champion as Lionel Messi and Xavi are to Barcelona.

Dutch star Robben netted twice as he combined with Ribery to inspire Bayern's 4-0 win over Hoffenheim at Munich's Allianz Arena, which moved Bayern up to third in the Bundesliga.

Flying Dutchman Robben and midfield maestro Ribery - dubbed "Robbery" by the German media - tore Hofffenheim to pieces and van Gaal insists the pair are Bayern's answer to Argentina's Messi and Spain's Xavi.
