Bayern Munich took a serious option on qualifying for the quarterfinals of the Champions League by winning Wednesday night on the lawn of Arsenal (2 – 0). The Gunners were reduced to ten yielded facing Toni Kroos and Thomas Müller.

last season, Arsenal and Bayern Munich found themselves in the knockout stages of the Champions League. And like last season, it was the Germans who won the first leg on Wednesday night at the Emirates Stadium (2-0). The circumstances of the loss are different for the Gunners, but the result is the same: they will have an achievement on March 11, at the Allianz Arena to stay alive. As they are capable? Yes, if one remembers that in 2013 they had passed close to the qualification. But they will, this time, do not Wojciech Szczesny, expelled during the first act and therefore hung back.

Without

Olivier Giroud, left on the bench by Arsene Wenger, but with Yaya Sanogo undertaking on the front of the attack, Londoners took off the right end by creating several hot situations until Mesut Özil gets a penalty. But the German strategist, who wanted to do justice itself, completely missed his attempt blocked by Manuel Neuer (8th). Unfortunate for Arsenal, but not dramatic, especially as David Alaba has likewise failed to address in this exercise by finding the post (37th) after a clumsy Wojciech Szczesny output Arjen Robben, therefore, earned a Polish goalkeeper red card.

If they had then fled mainly by failing to score, then the English have ever found, ten, from the beginning of their meeting. And these are the Bavarians, who gradually settled in the opposing camp. A force to camp, they eventually find an opening through Toni Kroos, author of a splendid curling shot into the top corner of Lukasz Fabianski (1-0, 54th). Given the scenario, leave it there would not have been a bad thing for Arsenal, but his defense has cracked at the very end of the game, a header by Thomas Müller (2-0, 84th) again. What a priori give European champions a comfortable margin before the second round.
