| 90 | FULL TIME ARSENAL 1-3 BAYERN MUNICH: The match finishes with Bayern having one foot in the last eight of the Champions League after a fine win at the Emirates Stadium. But Arsene Wenger's men will look to an improved second half display and the fact they managed to breach Bayern's renowned strong defence when going to Germany to try and turn the tie around in the second leg. | ||
| 90 | Unfortunately Arsenal's free kick comes to nothing as we enter the final three minutes of this tie. | ||
| 89 | Philipp Lahm is booked as he brings down Thomas Vermaelen just outside the left side of the Bayern area. | ||
| 87 | Manuel Neuer picks a high cross out of the air at his back post and another attack from Arsenal comes to nothing. | ||
| 85 | Arsenal are desperately looking to get a foot-hold back into this tie but you have to say that they look to be going out even if they do make it 3-2. | ||
| 82 | Wojciech Szczesny gets down well to parry a Luiz Gustavo Dias strike and Mario Gomez fires the rebound over the bar as Bayern go close to adding a fourth here. | ||
| 80 | Arsenal try to get back into the tie again but Jack Wilshere is denied by Manuel Neuer from inside the Bayern area. | ||
| 78 | Mario Gomez is on for Mario Mandzukic in a third change for Bayern. | ||
| 77 | ARSENAL 1-3 BAYERN MUNICH: Arsenal's hopes have been shattered here as Bayern go 3-1 up. Mario Mandzukic gets on the end of Philipp Lahm's low ball from the right of the area and his close range effort loops into the net off a defender. | ||
| 74 | Luiz Gustavo Dias replaces Toni Kroos in a second change for Bayern Munich. | ||
| 73 | Olivier Giroud almost scores with his first touch as his effort from a Theo Walcott right-wing cross is straight at Manuel Neuer who parries the danger away. | ||
| 71 | A double change for Arsenal here as Olivier Giroud is on for Lukas Podolski, while Tomas Rosicky replaces Aaron Ramsey. | ||
| 69 | Lukas Podolski hits a shot at goal inside the area but it is cut out by David Alaba and Bayern clear. | ||
| 68 | Bastian Schweinsteiger hits the subsequent free kick over the Arsenal bar. | ||
| 67 | Aaron Ramsey brings down Thomas Muller around 25 yards from his own goal and is the fifth man in the book for the Gunners. | ||
| 66 | Lukas Podolski is the latest Arsenal man in the book for a foul on Arjen Robben. | ||
| 64 | Arjen Robben replaces Franck Ribery in a change for Bayern. | ||
| 63 | Wojciech Szczesny concedes a corner down the right for Bayern following a free kick into the area. From the flag kick Javier Martinez Aguinaga gets up highest but his header drops just over the bar. | ||
| 60 | Arsenal just have a glimmer of hope in this tie now after the Bayern defence fell asleep. | ||
| 58 | Manuel Neuer gets up to punch Theo Walcott's following free kick up into the air before his defence clear the danger. | ||
| 57 | Thomas Muller is booked for a late lunge on Laurent Koscielny as Arsenal have finally rattled the Bayern players. | ||
| 55 | ARSENAL 1-2 BAYERN MUNICH: I have well and truly jinxed Bayern's defence here. Arsenal are awarded a corner which they shouldn't have been. And when the flag kick comes in there are no takers from the defenders leaving Lukas Podolksi with the simple job of heading into the empty net. | ||
| 53 | You can see why Bayern have only conceded a penalty goal in their past 11 outings as they are a well drilled defensive unit who don't give Arsenal a second on the ball. | ||
| 51 | Arsenal enjoy an attack but this time Jack Wilshere has an effort blocked on the edge of the area by Bonfim Costa before he can test the keeper Manuel Neuer. | ||
| 49 | Toni Kroos gets into the Arsenal area and tries a pull-back but Thomas Vermaelen does well to cut it out. | ||
| 47 | Arsenal are quickly on the back-foot as they clear a Toni Kroos corner from the right and his follow up cross with Bayern pinning them back into their own half. Not the start Arsene Wenger will have wanted. | ||
| 46 | We are back up and running in the second half and Bayern will no doubt look to see this first leg out without conceding and finish the job at home. Arsenal need to change things to try and put more pressure on the Bayern defence or they risk going out of Europe with a whimper. | ||
| 45 | HALF TIME ARSENAL 0-2 BAYERN MUNICH: The whistle blows to bring the first half to a close as Bayern look like they are already in the last-eight of the tournament following an accomplished display at the Emirates. They have dominated the majority of proceedings and stuck away their chances against a toothless looking Gunners' side. | ||
| 45 | A quick break for Bayern as a Philipp Lahm ball into the box finds the head of Mario Mandzukic who manages to put his effort just wide. It should have been three then. | ||
| 42 | We are approaching the interval and Bayern remain comfortable with this two-goal lead and it's hard to see anyway into the game for Arsenal at this moment. | ||
| 39 | Better play by Arsenal but they are struggling in the final third as Bayern have looked well drilled in defence. | ||
| 37 | Theo Walcott picks up a pass from Bacary Sagna who did well down the right flank, but he is crowded out when he delays getting a shot at goal and Bayern clear. | ||
| 36 | Bastian Schweinsteiger is the first Bayern man booked for dissent and he will miss the second leg. | ||
| 34 | Daniel van Buyten prevents Arsenal from getting a shot at their goal as he stretches to block a Per Mertesacker effort inside the area after a free-kick from Jack Wilshere falls to him. | ||
| 33 | Bayern have just taken their foot off the pedal in the past few minutes which could let Arsenal in. | ||
| 31 | Some sustained possession for Arsenal but they have yet to test the Bayern goal so far in the game. | ||
| 29 | Arsenal are lacking ideas whenever they do get forward thanks largely to the work-rate of Bayern who immediately drop back in defensive mode when they lose possession. | ||
| 26 | After a bright opening from Arsenal, Bayern have given them a football lesson and dominated proceedings. Impressive stuff from the German outfit. | ||
| 24 | Mikel Arteta shows his frustration with a rash tackle on Mario Mandzukic to become the third Arsenal man in the book. | ||
| 22 | A frustrated Bacary Sagna dives in on Toni Kroos and is in the book for Arsenal. | ||
| 21 | ARSENAL 0-2 BAYERN MUNICH: It's turning into a nightmare for Arsenal here as they go two-down. Wojciech Szczesny can only parry a Daniel van Buyten header from a corner and Thomas Muller fires in from close range. | ||
| 19 | Bastian Schweinsteiger hits an effort over the top for a goal kick after a corner for the right was cleared to him on the edge of the Arsenal area. | ||
| 16 | Arsenal breathe a sigh of relief as Bastian Schweinsteiger's free kick drops the wrong side of their goal. | ||
| 15 | Thomas Vermaelen is in the book here as he fouls Javier Martinez Aguinaga just outside his own area. | ||
| 13 | Bayern are stifling Arsenal here by pressing them at all times to stop them getting their passing game moving, while the Gunners are relying on the pace of Theo Walcott. | ||
| 11 | A dangerous free kick comes to nothing for Bayern as Daniel van Buyten's effort hits the wall and Arsenal clear. | ||
| 10 | Bayern are flying now and looking to wrap up this tie as early as possible if they can. | ||
| 7 | ARSENAL 0-1 BAYERN MUNICH: Bayern storm forward and take the lead despite Arsenal's bright opening. Toni Kroos is picked out by Thomas Muller on the edge of the Gunners' area and his effort beats Wojciech Szczesny. | ||
| 5 | Arsenal do well to clear a Toni Kroos corner from the right before Theo Walcott races down the other end and wins one for the Gunners which comes to nothing as it drops out for a goal kick. | ||
| 3 | Bastian Schweinsteiger is alert to divert a low ball from Santiago Cazorla back to his goalkeeper Manuel Neuer after an Arsenal break down the right. | ||
| 2 | A good atmosphere as a mist sweeps around the ground with Arsenal starting the brighter. | ||
| 0 | Arsenal's bid to end their eight-year trophy wait continues at the Emirates tonight as the action gets up and running. They could do with a good moral-boosting win to take to the Allianz Arena and to get the fans back with them after being booed off following the FA Cup exit to Blackburn. | ||
| 0 | Bayern Munich represent one of the toughest opposition Arsenal could have been drawn against at this stage of the Champions League and is punishment for the Gunners' failure to win their Group. The Bavarian giants are 18 points clear in the Bundesliga, have won their last 11 games in a row and have only conceded in those matches. | ||
| 0 | Bayern Munich starting XI: Neuer, Lahm, Van Buyten, Dante, Alaba, Javi Martinez, Schweinsteiger, Muller, Kroos, Ribery, Mandzukic. | ||
| 0 | Spanish star Javi Martinez comes in for Mario Gomez in just one change for Bayern Munich from the team which beat Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga at the weekend. | ||
| 0 | Arsenal starting XI: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Arteta, Wilshere, Ramsey, Cazorla, Podolski, Walcott. | ||
| 0 | Theo Walcott comes in ahead of Olivier Giroud to start in attack for Arsenal as Arsene Wenger makes seven changes to side for the Champions League last-16 first leg tie against Bayern Munich at the Emirates Stadium. Thomas Vermaelen moves to left-back in place of the cup-tied Nacho Monreal, while Laurent Koscileny has passed a fitness test to play in central defence. | ||
