“It made me sick to see Juventus go out like they did in Istanbul,” he told Gazzetta dello Sport.
“What happened there was just incredible. You can’t play in a situation like that.
“From what I heard, the game had to be played, but it was a stupid situation.”
The Bayern Munich chairman then commented on the rest of the Champions League Last 16 games, including Milan’s 1-0 loss to Atletico Madrid.
“It’s too early to say [whether Bayern will beat Arsenal], but we’re certainly at an advantage.
“The final is a long way away, but we’re enjoying a great moment.
“Milan eliminated? I’m not so sure about that. They can definitely reverse the situation.
“It’ll be tough, but they can do it.”
