Full time: Bayern Munich 5-1 Arsenal

03:07 (IST)16 FEB 2017

After a good first half from both sides, it was the home side that demolished Arsenal within twenty minutes of half time with three goals, before Thomas Muller put the final nail in the coffin. I said it once and I will say it again, it will take something beyond a miracle to save the Arsenal team and as of right now, Bayern Munich looks to be home free, as the next round waits for their arrival.

03:05 (IST)16 FEB 2017

TWEET, TWEET, TWEET. THAT'S GAME, SET AND MATCH.

03:05 (IST)16 FEB 2017

90+2' The game enters it's final minute after two minutes of added time. 

03:04 (IST)16 FEB 2017

90+1' The game is done and the Arsenal players know it. They stand around as Bayern pass the ball about and the crowd cheers unforgivingly as dejected away fans look on.

03:02 (IST)16 FEB 2017

89' This has been a poor display...sorry. This has been a poor second half display from the Gunners and they will need something above and beyond a miracle to qualify for the next round. Five goals against Bayern Munich at the Emirates should do the trick..

03:00 (IST)16 FEB 2017

88' GOOOOOALLLL!!! THE ARSENAL DEFENCE IS IN TATTERS!!! A HORRIBLE MISTAKE BY ALEX OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN AND KIMMICH GRABS THE BALL AND BEFORE MULLER SCORES A SIMPLE SIMPLE GOAL. 
5-1

02:59 (IST)16 FEB 2017

87' Robben comes off as Ancelotti's final substitution and Rafinha walks on to add some much added steel at the back!!

02:58 (IST)16 FEB 2017

85' Lewandowski comes off for Thomas Muller to a standing ovation from the Allianz Arena!! The Polish striker has been brilliant in the second half, with an assist and a goal!

02:57 (IST)16 FEB 2017

85' Corner for Arsenal and Ozil's delivery is straight to Giroud who's header is off a Bayern player.

02:57 (IST)16 FEB 2017

84' Kimmich comes on for Douglas Costa who looks absolutely knackered. The German midfielder is a dangerous player though!!


02:55 (IST)16 FEB 2017

83' A booking for the Bayern captain as he cuts down Oxlade-Chamberlain and that means he won't be playing the second leg at the Emirates!

02:54 (IST)16 FEB 2017

83' Another brilliant save from the Colombian, as he tips away a brilliant curling shot from Douglas Coast and its out for another corner!

02:53 (IST)16 FEB 2017

80' Less than 10 minutes till the end and Arsenal have been on the receiving end of more than half the shots on goal!! Another one from Robben but Ospina makes a brilliant save and it's out for a corner. It's taken but only reaches Walcott who's clearance is bad!!

02:51 (IST)16 FEB 2017

78' That's the third time the Polish striker has collided with an Arsenal defender in this half and this time it's Gabriel but the ref walks over and asks him to get up!

02:50 (IST)16 FEB 2017

77' Giroud has been the Gunner's super sub with multiple late goals to save his team. But the question is can he do it now, as Bayern attack relentlessly!!

02:49 (IST)16 FEB 2017

76' Francis Coquelin comes off for Oliver Giroud as Wenger makes his final change of the game!

02:48 (IST)16 FEB 2017

75' The Allianz Arena is absolutely bouncing at the moment as the Bayern fans are loving what is happening so far!!

02:47 (IST)16 FEB 2017

74' A tumble in the box between both Mustafi and Lewandowski, and the Polish striker seems to have taken the brunt of it as he struggles to get up. A brillant tackle by the German center back!!

02:46 (IST)16 FEB 2017

73' Bayern sitting back and defending as they allow Arsenal to pass the ball around for some time. They need to make sure that they don't make any mistakes what so ever, as even 4-1 down, this Arsenal side will pounce and attack!!

02:44 (IST)16 FEB 2017

70' Time ticks on for the Gunners and they will need another goal to boost this team. They look down-right exhausted and who can blame them? They have, however, never beaten Bayern Munich by more than a 2-0 scoreline and it will definitely take something magical to change that!!

02:42 (IST)16 FEB 2017

68' 19 shots on the Arsenal goal for Bayern Munich compared to the Arsenal's 5 shots!! Shows how dominant this Bayern side have been tonight, something they haven't done too often this season!!

02:40 (IST)16 FEB 2017

68' Shot!! A long range effort from Vidal and it's saved by the tip of Ospina's fingers!!!

02:39 (IST)16 FEB 2017

66' This is a bad second half by the Arsenal side as that Bayern side have been running riot with three goals in under ten minutes!! 

02:37 (IST)16 FEB 2017

65' Iwobi is coming off as Theo Walcott comes on to somehow inspire an Arsenal comeback!! At 4-1 down however, that's easier said then done!!

02:36 (IST)16 FEB 2017

63' GOOOOOOALLLLL!! Dreadful mistakes have been made by the Arsenal defence as the ball bounces in the box before Thiago whips a shot right down the middle, and it takes a deflection off the keeper and into the net!!
4-1

02:35 (IST)16 FEB 2017

62' Back to back action and its all in the Arsenal box!! Brilliant save from David Ospina after a brilliant header by Martinez!!

02:34 (IST)16 FEB 2017

61' CHANCE!!! The Gunners are all over the place at the moment. Lewandowski is running riot in the box as he outsmarts Ospina twice before his shot hits the bar!! Robben is lurking nearby however and his shot is blocked for a corner and what looked like a hand ball!!

02:32 (IST)16 FEB 2017

60' Yellow card for Granit Xhaka as the Swiss international goes into the book.

02:31 (IST)16 FEB 2017

58' The Gunners look all over the place ever since their leader and captain walked off the pitch with what looked like a shoulder injury. They need to collect themselves and somehow inspire a comeback!!

02:30 (IST)16 FEB 2017

56' While Thiago certainly deserves credit for his work in scoring the goal, the credit goes to Robert Lewandowski who has been brilliant in this second half!!

02:29 (IST)16 FEB 2017

56' GOOOOOOALLLLLL!!! A BRILLANT BALL IN FROM ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI AND THIAGO MAKES NO MISTAKE AS HE SLOTS IT PAST DAVID OSPINA FOR THE THIRD GOAL!!

02:28 (IST)16 FEB 2017

54' A brilliant counter by the Bavarians with Arjen Robben who lays it off for Lewandowski, who cannot find a clear shot on target.

02:26 (IST)16 FEB 2017

53' GOALLLLLL!!! A MOMENT OF HESITATION BY ARSENAL'S KEEPER AS ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI DOES BRILLIANTLY TO MEET LAHM'S PIN POINT CROSS AND HEADS IT STRAIGHT INTO THE GOAL!!
2-1

02:24 (IST)16 FEB 2017

51' Bayern on the counter with Philip Lahm, but no Lewandowski in the box to put the cross through so the German plays the ball through to Robben.

02:23 (IST)16 FEB 2017

51' Ospina getting booed by the home crowd, who feel that the Colombian was faking the entire collision with Douglas Costa!!

02:21 (IST)16 FEB 2017

48' Koscielny departs after his clearance, which seems to have done some damage to him and Gabriel steps in. This is a big blow for the Gunners as both Mustafi and Koscielny have clicked very well in that Arsenal back line!!

02:20 (IST)16 FEB 2017

47' A brilliant athletic clearance by Koscielny as a brilliant long ball is cleared by the Frenchman. The ball only veers off to one side and Ospina charges out to clear and collides with Costa!!

02:18 (IST)16 FEB 2017

46' Foul on Coquelin by the veteran Alonso, who was rather late in his challenge. 

02:17 (IST)16 FEB 2017

45' Should be a cracking second half!!

02:17 (IST)16 FEB 2017

45' The teams are out and ready for the second half. The score is at 1-1, as the home side kick-off.

02:13 (IST)16 FEB 2017

It was, however, a half dominated by the Bavarians with nearly 80% possession as the Gunners looked to sit back and play on the counter-attack, which they did well as towards the end of the first half. 
Ozil, who has been brilliant defensively for most of the game so far, came up with two good chances just before half-time. Stats show that the no Arsenal player had more tackles than the German playmaker in the first half!!!

02:07 (IST)16 FEB 2017

The Gunners got a goal back, as the referee pointed to the spot after a foul on Laurent Koscielny by Robert Lewandowski. A controversial penalty decision but Alexis Sanchez stepped up for the penalty and his shot was saved by Manuel Neuer before the Chilean calmly collected the rebound and smacked it past the German keeper!! 

02:05 (IST)16 FEB 2017

Arjen Robben opened the scoring in the 11th minute with a brilliant piece of dribbling past the hapless Arsenal defense before whipping quite a stunning shot right into the top left corner!! Ospina had no chance and was further tormented by the Bayern attack but he had that covered.

02:01 (IST)16 FEB 2017

Half-time and the teams go in level at the break. 

02:01 (IST)16 FEB 2017

45' Sanchez through to Ozil, who shoots but his former schoolmate makes a brilliant save to keep the score 1-1!! 

01:59 (IST)16 FEB 2017

44' Free-kick master Xabi Alonso takes a good kick into the Arsenal box but Hummels shot is just off target!! Ospina had his near post covered though!!

01:58 (IST)16 FEB 2017

43' One-two-one passing by Costa and Alaba, before the defender crosses it in for his striker. The cross is inch perfect to Lewandowski's head who just can't guide his shot on target!!

01:57 (IST)16 FEB 2017

41' Half time approaches and Arsenal have finally shown themselves in a very important game for them. It has been all Bayern Munich's game so far but the Arsenal side have had their moments of brilliance!!
