The Bavarians won 1-0 against Arsenal at home and progress into the final four with 3-2 aggregate

Arsenal’s Champions League journey came to a bitter end as Bayern Munich secured a victory at the Allianz Arena, advancing to the semi-finals with a 3-2 aggregate scoreline.

The decisive moment came in the 63rd minute when Joshua Kimmich powered a header into the net from Raphael Guerreiro’s delivery, clinching the win for the Germans after a 2-2 draw in the first leg at Emirates Stadium.

Despite the optimism at the Emirates, Arsenal faced a tough challenge against Bayern Munich, who had struggled domestically and were missing key players due to injury.

The match proved to be a tense affair, with few clear-cut chances in the first half. Gabriel Martinelli had Arsenal’s best opportunity, but his shot was saved by Manuel Neuer, while Bayern’s Jamal Musiala forced David Raya into action at the other end.

As the game wore on, both teams pushed for a breakthrough. Leon Goretzka hit the post for Bayern before Guerreiro’s follow-up was cleared off the line. However, it was Kimmich’s decisive header that ultimately sealed Arsenal’s fate.

With the defeat, Arsenal’s quest for their maiden Champions League title continues, leaving fans disappointed but hopeful for future campaigns.
