Bayern Munich sent Arsenal crashing out of the
Champions League amid a backdrop of supporter
unrest at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners took the lead on the night before being
reduced to 10 men as the German giants turned the
tables on the north Londoners in a stunning second-
half blitz.
Bayern took a massive 5-1 lead into the last 16
second leg tie and a section of Arsenal fans vented
their frustrations before a ball had even been kicked.
An estimated 200 supporters led a protest march
outside the ground calling for the club not to offer a
new contract to long-serving manager Arsene
Wenger.
However, the gloom was lifted somewhat with a
spirited first-half display that saw Theo Walcott bang
home the 15 Champions League goal of his career.
It was an historic strike that incredibly sees him
overtake Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldo in the
European competition’s all-time scoring charts.
But shortly after the restart, with Arsenal perhaps
unfortunate not to have bridged the gap further, it all
went horribly wrong for the Gunners.
Laurent Koscielny brought down Robert Lewandowski
in the area and the referee pointed to the penalty
spot.
