Bayern Munich star Arjen Robben has denied spitting at Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna during last night's Champions League round-of-16 tie at the Emirates.

A video circulated on social media of the Dutchman appearing to spit at Sagna while he was on the ground during Bayern's 2-0 triumph.

However, Robben, who led to Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Sczcesny's sending-off during the game, has insisted that he did no such thing.

"I will never spit on a player in my life," Robben told Bild. "It was sweat that dripped from my head. If I would have spat I had not have come home."

Arsenal will have to try to overturn their deficit at the Allianz Arena next month.
