ARSENE WENGER fears another defeat to Bayern Munich could spark a devastating Premier League meltdown.
Arsenal are trailing 3-1 to the German giants ahead of next week’s Champions League last-16 second leg in Munich.
And Wenger admits he is not even thinking about victory — only the potential damage of a further heavy defeat.
The Gunners boss said: “
I am not worried about us potentially coming back against Bayern, I am more worried about consequences that could manifest in the heads of our players.
“You will never know how they can absorb those blows and how the team respond to disappointment. This is the most worrying aspect for me.
“But from the experience of how to handle the end of the season, we know how to deal with that. We have had lots of experience.
“Of course, you are not feeling great if you can’t win, but we can stay solid or crack under the pressure.
“If you want to know, I am still solid but I can’t tell you that I feel great right now because my job is about winning games and when you lose you will not find a single coach in this world who feels very good.”
Wenger’s amazing 15-year unbroken record of Champions League football is under serious threat with Arsenal five points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
And he added: “We are in a situation right now where our objective is just to qualify for the Champions League — so we can’t drop points any more.
“Contrary to our two cup defeats
we are on a good run in the Premier League actually 
— with the two big blows in just three days in the cups.
“We need to recover, and that will define the rest of our season.”
