Mats Hummels is adamant there is no reason to feel sorry for Arsenal after Bayern Munich hammered Arsene Wenger’s side 10-2 on aggregate in the Champions League, Goal reports.
Arsenal fans are growing increasingly disillusioned following their latest dip in form, with Bayern recording back-to-back 5-1 wins to condemn the Gunners to a seventh successive Champions League last-16 exit.
Hummels knows how it feels to lose heavily to Bayern, having been beaten 5-1 with Borussia Dortmund in the past, but insists that big defeats are a normal part of football and that his side shouldn’t feel guilty for heaping on the misery.
“I don’t know if you can feel sorry in sports (for your opponent),” Hummels said at the Emirates Stadium.
“Maybe they felt they could score the goals and it was okay for them to keep playing like this but then we played things really well. I experienced it for myself. I lost 5-1 to Bayern Munich (when I was at Dortmund), when we felt we did a good job and we were not that bad to get beat like that.”
