Arsenal chairman Keswick breaks board silence over Bayern Munich humiliation

Published on: 25 February 2017

Arsenal chairman Sir Chips Keswick has spoken of their Champions League humiliation by Bayern Munich last week.

Keswick is the first member of the Gunners board to speak publicly since the 5-1 hammering.

He wrote in a statement: "Everyone, including Arsene, our players, board and staff share our fans' disappointment at out first leg result against Bayern Munich but we will approach the second leg with professionalism and a desire to reclaim pride.

"Unity has always been one of Arsenal's strengths as a club.

"We are very focused on producing a positive and exciting closing run and with the support of our fans I believe we can achieve a successful and memorable end to the season."

Keswick is still confident Arsenal can finish the season with two trophies, despite being 10 points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea.

"At the time of writing, we sit in fourth place in the league and, with thirteen games remaining, there is everything to play for," he added.

"We have progressed to the Sixth Round of the Emirates FA Cup and will compete to bring home silverware in this competition for the third time in four years and what would be a record-breaking thirteenth FA Cup trophy."
