Arsenal’s hopes of progressing in the Champions League were dashed as they faced a disappointing defeat against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. Despite a confident start, Arsenal failed to secure a victory against a Bayern Munich team that had struggled in their domestic season and were missing key players due to injury.
The match remained tight and cagey throughout the first half, with limited opportunities for both teams. Gabriel Martinelli had Arsenal’s best chance early on, but Manuel Neuer’s solid goalkeeping denied them a breakthrough. Bayern Munich also had their chances, with Leon Goretzka hitting the post before Raphael Guerreiro’s follow-up was cleared off the line.
In the second half, Bayern Munich broke the deadlock with Joshua Kimmich’s powerful header, ultimately sealing their spot in the semi-finals. Despite a valiant effort, Arsenal was unable to find an equalizer, prolonging their wait to claim their first Champions League title. Bayern Munich’s victory sets up a semi-final clash against Real Madrid, who advanced after a tense encounter with Manchester City.
