Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech has dismissed suggestions that team-mate Alexis Sanchez was laughing at his own side during the 5-1 loss to Bayern Munich at the Emirates Stadium last Tuesday, saying the forward was "sad" at the scoreline.
Sanchez was withdrawn from the action during the game, and cameras caught him on the bench appearing to smirk as his team struggled to contain the Germans, who romped to a 10-2 aggregate win over two legs in the UEFA Champions League round-of-16 showdown.
Cech, who was sat next to the Chilean at the time, has denied Sanchez was indulging in some schadenfreude.
