Wenger was sent from the dug-out towards the end of the match after apparently becoming frustrated at what he felt was time-wasting by Sevilla captain Daniel Alves, but the Gunners boss insisted afterwards he had no idea why he was handed his marching orders.

"The player was down, and when the guy [physio] came on the pitch he stood up - and two minutes later he was sprinting," said Wenger. "The referee came to see me, and I asked him why I was sent off. He said he would explain after the game."

He added: "He could not give me any other reason. I'm not upset at all; I'm upset we lost the game, that's all."

Wenger, who stood by the advertising hoardings behind the dug-outs after his dismissal, was far from impressed by the performance of fourth official Reinold Wiedermeijer.

He said: "The fourth official was very busy throughout the game - that is the minimum you can say. I have played 100 games in the Champions League and I must say his behaviour was absolutely shocking. Where did he want me to go? I couldn't go in the stand."
