Arsenal lost to Bayern Munich in the euphoric atmosphere at the Allianz Arena, suffering a painful and disappointing exit from the Champions League.
Both teams were tied 2-2 in the first leg in London, but in the 63rd minute, Joshua Kimmich scored a powerful header from a cross from Rafael Guerreiro to advance the Germans to the semi-finals with a 3-2 aggregate victory. It was enough.
Despite being held at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal were confident of progressing against Bayern Munich, who had endured a poor domestic season and were without key players Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman through injury.
In a tight and unsettled second leg, Gabriel Martinelli had Arsenal's best chance of the first half, but Jamal Musiala forced David Raya into a full-strength save at the other end before Gabriel Martinelli headed straight into Manuel Neuer. I took a shot.
Harry Kane had just nine touches in the first 45 minutes, but Neuer was forced to make a save after Martin Odegaard's shot was deflected and the long-time Bayern Munich keeper raced through his line.
With so much at stake for both teams, chances were understandably limited, but the second half was lively with Leon Goretzka's header hitting the post, but Guerreiro's pursuit ended with Raya hitting the post. I scrambled it out.
However, Kimmich's attacking header proved decisive, securing Arsenal's long-awaited first Champions League win.
More to come.
