Arsene Wenger accused Bayern Munich of ‘diving all game’ on a disastrous night for Arsenal.
Goals from Toni Kroos and Thomas Muller put Pep guardiolas men firmly in charge ahead of the march 11 Return
But Wenger hit out at the Germans after Wojciech Sczczesny was red carded for bringing down Arjen Robben in the game-changing moment.
He fumed: “Our keeper went genuinely for the ball. He touched Robben and he certainly made more of it. I told him afterwards.”
TV replays showed the Pole - in further trouble with UEFA for making an obscene hand gesture - had collided with Robben’s standing leg.
His dismissal was one of three hammer blows for Wenger on the night as he also saw Mesut Ozil’s early penalty saved and Muller make the tie near-impossible to recover with his late goal after Arsenal had hung on gamely at 1-0.
But it was the red card that upset him most. He added: “Robben has enough experience to know to make more of it. Overall I felt Bayern made more of every single contact and we are not used to it in England.
“The fouls that were given are not given in the Premier League. but we have to get used to it and to accept it.”
