In the first leg, the scoreline was 2-2 for both teams. But in Thursday’s encounter, the goal from Kimich gave the lead to Bayern and they enter into the Champion’s League Semi Final.
They will face Real Madrid on April 30 and on May 8 in both legs, who will beat Man city in quarter final on the other hand.
The one and only goal from Kimich gave the Bayern lead in the 63rd minute. But there was the beautiful cross from Rafael Gerrero. Bayern won 3-2 in aggregate from both legs. Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel did not get their key players like Sergio Nebri and Koman due to injury. But still Chelsea did not find their way into the Semis.
The best chance for Arsenal in the game was in the 32nd minute with Gabriel Martinelli’s first time shot, going straight to Bayern keeper Manuel Neur, who has also completed his 58th clean sheet.
Coach’s response to the loss
Arsenal coach Areta said “Very sad and disappointed with the final result. It was a tie of very small margin. In the first leg we concede two poor goals. It was a game where we can see error of individual brilliance would make the difference. The goal put them in a really good position. We lacked the magic to unlock the game and open the door. That’s why we were out.” But still Arsenal can return to the top of the table if they can win at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday in the FA cup this weekend with City in action.
Bayern top scorer Harry Kane as well as England captain said, “Unbelievable win. It has been a tough session for us. We have to fight and grind in times.”
Arsenal hasn’t reached the Semi-final since 2009.
With a win against Arsenal on Thursday, the German club Bayern is now going to face Real Madrid, who had 14 Champions League title. The two best clubs of Europe is now ready to face the battle on April 30 and May 8.
