Arsene Wenger's post-match press conference was cut short in Munich on
Wednesday night as he struggled to explain a "nightmare" 5-1 defeat to
Bayern in the Champions League
The visitors, by Wenger's own admission, suffered a "mental and
organisational" meltdown after captain Laurent Koscielny went off
injured with the first leg of their last-16 tie standing at 1-1.
Within
14 minutes Bayern were 4-1 up, and a late Thomas Muller fifth means
Arsenal now have three weeks of recriminations to endure before a return
leg which is essentially a dead rubber.
Wenger fronted up for his media duties, visibly shaken by the latest
in a series of poor results that has left a growing number of supporters
calling for a change of manager when his contract expires this summer.
But the Frenchman answered just three questions before the club's press officer called a halt.
"It
was a strange game because I feel in the first half we played quite
well and we had two good chances just before half-time," Wenger said.
