Bayern Munich asserted their dominance over Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals to send the Gunners packing.
Arsenal’s dreams of achieving European success were brought to an end in Germany as Bayern secured their place in the semi-finals courtesy of a 1-0 win.
It was a huge occasion and the hosts did their very best to give the game the glamour it deserved.

Martin Odegaard fired an early shot, which suffered due to a slight deflection from the edge of the box. Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was the first to make a save as he stopped the Gunners from taking an early lead.

Neuer forced into a save after Odegaard’s shot takes a deflection. First time a keeper has had to make a save. 30mins gone.

HT 0-0 Bayern seem more than happy to sit deep off Arsenal out of possession, stay compact and play on the break. That has created a much cagier game than the first leg.

Arsenal pushing Bayern into places they don’t really want to go (often centrally) via effective pressing. Rice is having a big game in there. #UCL

However, when play resumed, Bayern were quick to change the game. Joshua Kimmich popped up with the all-important header shortly after the hour mark to put the German side in control of the tie.
Two perfect performances from Kimmich in both legs at Right back (his best role).
