The German giants secured a spot in the last four with Joshua Kimmich’s 63rd minute header, making the second-leg more cagey than the first. In the previous encounter at the Emirates, Arsenal and Bayern Munich played out a thrilling 2-2 draw, but the Gunners failed to score in the second successive game during the return match at the Allianz.
Arsenal struggled to create clear-cut chances and were unable to mount sustained pressure on their hosts, with their closest opportunity coming from an Odegaard strike in the 88th minute. Odegaard’s frustration was evident when the linesman flagged for a goal-kick instead of a corner, with the Gunners captain visibly protesting the decision.
Despite enjoying more possession and often playing in Bayern’s half, Arsenal couldn’t find the decisive pass to threaten the Bundesliga titans. The German coach is aiming to become the second manager to take three different teams to a Champions League final, expressing the difficulty of the upcoming schedule.
Looking ahead, the team is focused on maintaining a positive attitude and overcoming the challenges, as expressed by the coach in their upcoming match against Wolves.
