Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben has admitted that his team were "brutally punished" for their errors during Tuesday's defeat to Manchester City in the Champions League.
The 10-man Germans were five minutes away from earning a 2-1 win at the Etihad Stadium before Sergio Aguero pounced on two defensive mistakes to turn the game around.
Bayern had already booked their place in the last 16 before the match, but the result made sure that their 100% record in Group E was ended in dramatic fashion.
"We've lost possession twice and been brutally punished," Robben told the club's official website. "It's a real shame because we played so well. We deserved something.
"I want to pay the team a huge compliment and we can be proud. We never went looking for a hiding place and we were excellent in possession even though we were a man down."
Bayern are back in Bundesliga action on Saturday when they make the trip to Hertha Berlin.
