Champions League a write-off for Arsenal after Bayern hammering

The Gunners slumped to an embarrassing 5-1 defeat to the German champion in Munich on Wednesday night to leave their last 16 hopes hanging by a thread.

The Gunners supporters arrived hoping to see something special but instead watched on in agony from high in the top tier here as their team was smashed 5-1 by the German champion.
