Arsenal slumps to embarrassing 5-1 loss at Bayern Munich
Another frustrating night for the Gunners
By [Your Name]
Arsenal's Champions League campaign ended in disappointment on Wednesday night as they suffered a humiliating 5-1 defeat to Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. The Gunners were outplayed from start to finish and were fortunate to only concede five goals.
Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring for Bayern in the 10th minute, before Thiago Alcantara doubled the lead just seven minutes later. Arsenal pulled one back through Alexandre Lacazette in the 27th minute, but Bayern restored their two-goal advantage just before half-time through Thomas Muller.
The second half was a one-sided affair as Bayern continued to dominate possession and create chances. Lewandowski added his second goal of the night in the 63rd minute, before Thomas Muller completed the rout with a fourth in the 88th minute. The defeat is Arsenal's joint-heaviest in the Champions League, and it will come as a major blow to their hopes of qualifying for next season's competition.
Arsene Wenger's side have now lost three of their last four games in all competitions, and they will need to improve their form quickly if they are to salvage anything from this season.
