A powerful header from Joshua Kimmich in the second half proved decisive for the German giants, putting an end to Arsenal's European campaign.

Opening Exchanges

In the opening stages of the match, Arsenal displayed their intent, but Bayern's experience and composure gradually took hold. Despite the home side's early dominance, Bayern's defense held firm, limiting Arsenal's scoring opportunities.

Second Half Goal

After a goalless first half, Kimmich emerged as the hero for Bayern in the second half. The German midfielder rose above the Arsenal defense to head home a pinpoint cross, giving Bayern the crucial lead. Arsenal pushed for an equalizer, but Bayern's defense remained resolute, securing the victory and a place in the semi-finals.

Aggregate Win

The 1-0 victory in the second leg added to Bayern's 2-1 win in the first leg, sealing the German team's progression to the next round. Arsenal's hopes of reaching the semi-finals were dashed, marking a disappointing end to their Champions League campaign.

Disastrous Night for Premier League

Arsenal's elimination marked the end of the Premier League's representation in the Champions League this season. The English top flight's two remaining teams, Arsenal and Manchester City, both suffered defeats, leaving the competition in the hands of teams from other leagues.
