Robben said that the Gunners manager should stop behaving like a small-time manager after both teams played out...........
a 1-1 on Tuesday.
Wenger had an argument on the touchline after Arsenal's goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny was sent off for fouling Robben in the first leg at the Emirates Stadium last month, and the Frenchman was further enraged when the Dutchman went down under pressure from Laurent Koscielny in the box to win a spot-kick which Thomas Muller subsequently missed.
After the match, which ended in a 1-1 draw with Bayern triumphing 3-1 on aggregate, Wenger labelled Robben "a great player and a very good diver" - a comment which the Bayern winger felt was classless.
"I always say if you're a big manager, take your loss," he told ITV. "If you win, be happy, enjoy. But if you lose, don't start complaining about silly things. "It was two penalties but I don't want to defend myself. From a big manager you expect a little bit more if you lose." Wenger also claimed that the decision to send off Szczesny was the difference between the two teams, but Bayern boss Pep Guardiola insisted otherwise.
"We won and we were better than Arsenal in both games, that is the reality," Guardiola noted.
