Wenger Admits His Side UnderIperformed Against Bayern

Arsenal manager, Arsène Wenger, has admitted that his side's defence was porous after losing to Bayern Munich 5-1 in the Champions League match day 4 at Allianz Arena on Wednesday. 

Wenger said that the Gunners made it too easy for the bundesliga champions achieve after beating the Pep Guardiola's men 2-0 at the Emirate two weeks ago.

The Gunner's manager further explained that if Guardiola's men will play against Olympiacos, that his side has got hope of progressing to the knock out stage of the championship, adding that there's a little chance for Hector Bellerin to return before his next league game on Sunday. 

"We have to give credit to Bayern first for their quality and on top of that we made things quite easy for them. It was a bad defensive performance and we were extremely poor defensively. We were not at the races. The funny thing is that when we went forward we created good chances. We had a chance to score early but with a defensive performance like that, you go nowhere."

"My memory of 19 years is not too accurate if I’m supposed to tell you our worst defensive performance. It’s certainly not going to remain in my memory for anything positive. There is still a chance to qualify. Olympiacos have to lose here, we have to beat Zagreb and then we will see when we play Olympiacos away. It’s a small chance but it is a real one. We have to realise with that kind of performance that we had today that our chances are minimal."

"No matter what percentage we have, we have to dig in for the chance to qualify. We now have to focus on the Premier League on Sunday and bounce back with a different performance because we are in a good position in the league. It’s important that we realise what we did today and we know that.

"If they play like they did tonight, then yes."

"We have to analyse it and not be too negative. That’s top-level sport. You can understand that you have to be strong enough to face a performance like tonight. It was not good enough and we will have to focus on the next game. We live in a world where you have to face reality."

"I don’t think Bellerin will be available for Sunday but there is a small chance. From tonight we don’t have any new injuries."
