Podolski - We deserved to be relegated

Cologne's Lukas Podolski says that his side deserved to be relegated from the Bundesliga as they were 'not good enough' this season.

Frank Schaefer's side's fate was sealed on Saturday as they lost 4-1 at home to Bayern Munich to extend their run of games without a win to eight. Arsenal-bound Podolski believes he and his team-mates have got exactly what they deserve and says the Billy Goats has been nowhere near good enough this season. "We were not relegated today. It has been borne from what has happened in recent weeks and months," admitted Podolski. "With so many defeats and goals conceded in the end, we do not deserve to remain in the Bundesliga, it must be said, unfortunately."
