Wenger: ‘You thought Sanchez was good? Watch again’
Arsene Wenger has suggested that Alexis Sanchez must take his share of the blame for Arsenal’s collapse against Bayern Munich.
The Gunners were beaten 5-1 by Bundesliga champions Bayern in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie last week.
Sanchez equalised in the first half for Wenger’s side, but was unable to prevent them from suffering a second-half capitulation in Germany.
When asked whether the performance of his side would make it more difficult to persuade Sanchez to sign a new contract with the club, Wenger simply replied: “No.”
It was then put to the manager that Sanchez had performed well at the Allianz Arena. His response?
“Watch the game again. I do not want to comment individually but we have lost as a team and Alexis is part of that.”
