Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben announces his retirement from international football following the Netherlands' failure to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.

Arjen Robben has announced his retirement from international football following the Netherlands' failure to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.

The 33-year-old scored both Oranje goals in Tuesday evening's 2-0 win over Sweden in Group A.

However, Dick Advocaat's side could not overturn their opponents' superior goal difference in a bid to reach the playoffs, condemning the Dutch to a second successive tournament absence.

"I want to focus on my club now," the Bayern Munich veteran told reporters after the match in Amsterdam. "It's a good time to pass the torch to the next generation."

Robben ends his international career with 37 goals in 96 appearances, having first donned the Holland shirt in 2003.
