The Gunners went to Germany for the second leg with the tie level at 2-2.

Although Arteta’s men had a few chances to take the lead, it was Joshua Kimmich’s bullet header that proved decisive, as the hosts won 1-0. Bayern will now face Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the competition.

Mikel Arteta, speaking to TNT Sports, said: “We tried against a team who has a lot of experience and through the tie the margins have been very small. There were moments where we were better.

“We gave them two goals and in the tie that was a big advantage to give away.

“You could see there was zero margin for error and we made a big mistake defending the box to concede the goal. Then it was difficult. We tried in many different ways but it’s difficult.”
