"We don't have to apologise, we are the most disappointed ones," the German was quoted as saying on Monday.

It was an accident. I know my team. If you lose a big game, and we lost one, you have to accept that everybody talks.

The club's hardcore 'ultra' group of fans did not support the team during the first 15 minutes of their Ligue 1 game against rivals Olympique de Marseille, their first home match since they were knocked out of the Champions League last 16.
