Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness watched his German giants crash to a shock Champions League defeat at FC Basel on Wednesday and then lashed out over criticism of Franck Ribery.

The French international was taken off by coach Jupp Heynckes with 20 minutes left in the 1-0 last 16 first leg defeat at the hands of the unheralded Swiss.

But Ribery refused to shake the hand of the Bayern coach as he trudged off.

“I don’t give a shit about that,” Hoeness fumed at a reporter.

“Why ask about a handshake when there is football to talk about? He was upset about being substituted, so what?”

Heynckes took a calmer approach and said a 2-0 win back at Munich next month in the return leg would rescue the situation.

“It’s an uncomfortable situation, but I have been in these situations before in my coaching career,” he said.

“The alarm bells are ringing, but we have a second leg and we can still correct this result. It’s certainly possible that we can beat Basel 2-0 at home.

“In these matches you need to make the most of your chances.

“We need to be calmer and more disciplined, but most of all we need a moment of success. We need to force our luck, but in terms of determination and attitude I can’t blame my team.”

Switzerland striker Valentin Stocker came off the bench to seal the famous victory for the underdogs in the 86th minute as the Swiss giant killers added Bayern’s scalp to that of Manchester United.

Basel beat Sir Alex Ferguson’s United 2-1 in the group stages last December and boosted their chances ahead of the second leg at Munich’s Allianz Arena on March 13.

“We have beaten two of the best teams in the world here now – Manchester United, from who we took four points in total, and Bayern which is unbelievable for a Swiss team,” beamed Basel goalkeeper Yann Sommer.

“But we are a good side and we believe in ourselves so I don’t think Bayern under-estimated us.”

The defeat compounded Bayern’s flagging confidence and seriously dents their dreams of appearing in a final on home turf on May 19.
