UEFA Champions League 2016/17: Bayern Munich 5-1 Arsenal, 5 Talking Points

Arsenal were humiliated at the hands of Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena

#2 Lewandowski turns up the magic in the second half

The Polish striker rose high to head it into goal

With the sides emerging from the break at 1 – 1, it was a couple of decisive minutes involving the Bayern striker that sent them on their way to a comfortable win. Within the gap of three minutes, he first scored the goal that put them ahead in the fixture with a header into the bottom corner and then assisted Thiago with a no-look flick that made it a formality for the former Barcelona man to finish.

As the game progressed, he continued to drop deeper to support his midfielders – perhaps a tactical change from Ancelotti at half-time – and turned Arsenal’s pressing ineffective with midfield runners causing major problems that resulted in the final scoreline.
