Tweets: Arsenal Fans React To Bayern Hammering In The Champions League

Arsenal at least looked like ending the night on a high, however, when they got one back with 20 minutes remaining through Olivier Giroud’s superb finish.

Muller rifled the first of his goals via the shin of Gunners captain Per Mertesacker and the outstanding Alaba effectively ended the contest just before half-time when he curled in from 25 yards.

Arsene Wenger has said Arsenal’s chances of progressing in the Champions League are “at a minimum” following their 5-1 defeat to Bayern Munich.

“You have to give credit to Bayern for their quality, but we made life easy for them and we were extremely poor defensively”.

The Bavarians sit atop the standings in Group F with 9 points followed by Olympiacos FC (9 points), Dinamo Zagreb (3 points) and Arensal FC (3 points).

“You [need to] win two games and we need to make sure that the head to head against Olympiacos is in our favour”. Bayern top the group on nine points.

However, speaking at a news conference prior to Bayern’s Bundesliga clash against Stuttgart on Saturday, Guardiola said the display against Arsenal was not quite a Champions League-winning performance.

Tight defences are what Bayern have had to get used to in recent weeks and Guardiola said the German champions always had to change.

Olympiacos scored a last-gasp victor against Zagreb on Wednesday that means any positive result for the Greek side in Munich in the next round of fixtures would kill off Arsenal’s hopes and allow the current top two to advance.

Arsenal’s performance was in stark contrast to the 2-0 win over Bayern at Emirates Stadium a fortnight ago, and Wenger bemoaned his side’s defending. We gave away possession too cheaply in the first ten minutes, and that was when Arsenal were very unsafe.

Bayern Munich swept aside Arsenal in an emphatic performance in Group F. Lewandowski opened the scoring in the 5-1 rout after just 10 minutes.

The Romans squandered a 2-0 advantage and needed a penalty from Miralem Pjanic to see off the Germans, who are third on four points.

With Bayern setting a frantic pace quick wingers Kingsley Coman and Douglas Costa kept slicing through with the Arsenal defenders’ heads spinning as Lewandowski kept Cech busy.
