Robben rues missed chances against Shakhtar

Arjen Robben has admitted that Bayern Munich wasted plenty of chance to bag a crucial away goal in their Champions League last-16 tie with Shakhtar Donetsk.

Even after Xabi Alonso's second-half red card, the Bavarians dominated matters in Ukraine but could not break the deadlock in a 0-0 stalemate on Tuesday.

While the German champions are still heavy favourites to progress, Dutch winger Robben has now conceded that Bayern face some pressure ahead of the must-win reverse fixture at the Allianz Arena on March 11.

"Now it is clear. We have to win in Munich. Nothing else will do," he told reporters.

"We had a good first half and we had our chances. You need to use them when you have them.

"It is a shame because it would have been easier. We did it all ourselves."

Bayern's blank came only three days after they thrashed Hamburger SV 8-0 in the Bundesliga.
