Arsenal lost their Champions League round of 16 match to Bayern Munich last night and ended their hopes of going through to the next round of the competition. Arsenal now need a miracle to get past their rivals, as Bayern have a 3-1 advantage going into the second leg in Germany.
Bayern started the scoring with Kroos finding the net just after seven minutes from kick off. Muller then doubled the lead for the away siders all thanks to sloppy defending from Arsenal.
Champions League, 19th Feb 2013
Arsenal 1 Podolski 55
Bayern Munich 3 Kroos 7, Muller 21, Mandzukic 77
Arsenal did manage to pull one back, ten minutes from the start of the second half, Lukas Podolski scoring from a Jack Wilshere corner.
Arsenal were seen off when Bayern scored a third when Mandzukic slide past the defender allowing the ball to fly into the Arsenal net.
Arsenal next travel to Germany on the 13th of March for their second leg tie, where only a miracle can possibly save them.
