Bayern are a bunch of choking cunts. Couldn't even get a tie against an unimpressive Madrid.

Liverpool with S-Allah and his main prophet Firmino are our only hope.

Real Madrid escaped the Allianz Arena with a 2-1 win over Bayern Munich and Joshua Kimmich thinks it should have been a different story.

Joshua Kimmich and Niklas Sule insist Bayern Munich's sapping 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid should have been a resounding Champions League semi-final victory.

Kimmich gave Bayern a deserved lead at the Allianz Arena and Jupp Heynckes' men passed up opportunities to extend their advantage before Marcelo levelled in the 44th minute.

The hosts remained in the ascendancy, but a dreadful error from Rafinha let in substitute Marco Asensio to score before the hour and handed the reigning European champions a significant advantage heading into next week's second leg in the Spanish capital.


"Nobody could have moaned if we won this match 5-2," said Sule, who replaced Jerome Boateng during the first half after his fellow Germany international suffered an apparent hamstring injury.

"I think I never saw Real Madrid this weak in a match in Munich."

Asked what he thought of Sule's outlook, Kimmich replied: "I'd go with 7-2."

Full-back Kimmich turned in a fine individual performance and he insisted his goal was down to some pre-match home work – not a lucky mishit as was claimed in some quarters.

"I knew that [Keylor] Navas is a goalkeeper who likes to speculate in these situations," the 23-year-old explained.

"I thought about it ahead of the match and knew what I was going to do in a position like that. So, yes, that was on purpose."

Arsene Wenger will hold no bitterness towards his successor and believes Arsenal can challenge for the title with "two or three additions".

Arsene Wenger says he intends to "play in Europe again", increasing the possibility of the departing Arsenal boss managing another club next season.

The Gunners announced last week that the Frenchman would leave the Emirates at the end of the current campaign, bringing the curtain down on a 22-year tenure in which he won three Premier Leagues titles and seven FA Cups.

Although he has thus far dodged questions about his future plans, Wenger raised the prospect of taking on another job - providing he misses the day-to-day involvement when he leaves north London.


Speaking ahead of the first leg of Arsenal's Europa League semi-final clash with Atletico Madrid, he told reporters: "I hope these are not my last European cup games – my target is to play in Europe again.

"[But] I've had no break [from football management] for 35 years. You can look around, and that doesn't exist.

"I don't know now how addicted I am. I am like a guy who plays Russian roulette every week and suddenly has no gun. I will see how much I miss that gun.

"When I started at 33, I thought I would never survive in this job, but you learn to dominate your emotions. You are never sure if you do the right thing. It will be surreal when I don't work. At the moment I work.

"At the moment, I'm not ready to commit to anything else but Arsenal."

Asked if he would consider taking a sabbatical and follow in the footsteps of Pep Guardiola, who took a year out after leaving Barcelona and before committing to Bayern Munich, he added: "It's long – 365 days."

Wenger, who had to clarify comments that had been twisted to appear as though he was unhappy with the timing of his exit announcement, was satisfied the majority of the Arsenal fans will look back fondly at his reign, despite a vocal minority that have campaigned for his departure.

"When some people are unhappy it is not always a majority, but they get the attention and they look like a majority," he said.

"I think people are intelligent and can make the difference between moments of unhappiness and global satisfaction for what I brought to the club. People will realise that to qualify for the Champions League for 20 consecutive years is not as easy it looks."

Whoever Arsenal bring in to replace Wenger will receive his best wishes and support with the 68-year-old adamant the club can fight for the Premier League title with "two or three additions".

"I wish that all goes well [for the new man]," he said.

"You do not give 22 years of your life for something, go away and want things to collapse. Maybe when you have a big ego at 40, you think the world cannot live without you. At my age you understand the world continues and you wish that it continues better.

"This team has quality. Two years ago, we finished second [in the Premier League]. Last year, we had 75 points and won the FA Cup and Charity Shield. We reached the final of the League Cup and a European semi-final.

"I am convinced with two or three additions this team has the quality to fight for the championship. You will not be short of candidates."
