Arsenal’s season suffers blow with Champions League exit in Munich
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta

Bayern Munich 1-0 Arsenal
(3-2 on agg)
Report by Layth Yousif in Munich

Arsenal endured another lacklustre European exit after a second half goal from Joshua Kimmich was enough to seal victory for Bayern and send them through to the last four of the Champions League. 

On another bitterly disappointing evening the Gunners were knocked out of European football's premier club tournament without a whimper in front of 75,000 fans - including 3,800 travelling Gooners who sang their hearts out high up in the gods throughout a frustrating 90 minutes. 

Kimmich's emphatic 63rd-minute header from Raphael Guerreiro's cross was enough to send the Germans through to the semi-finals, 3-2 on aggregate after the two teams had drawn 2-2 in London in the first leg.
