Bayern Munich vs Arsenal LIVE: Women’s Champions League result and final score after Lea Schuller goal
Bayern Munich 1-0 Arsenal: Schuller’s first-half header means the Gunners will need to come from behind in next week’s return leg at the Emirates
Arsenal produced a battling performance at the Allianz Arena as they went down to a 1-0 defeat in their Women’s Champions League quarter-final first leg against Bayern Munich.
Lea Schuller’s first-half header saw Bayern home, yet Arsenal will fancy their chances of turning the tie around in next week’s return.
They created a number of opportunities, being denied by goal-line clearances and the woodwork as Bayern ultimately did enough to record a 13th-successive victory in all competitions this season.
Arsenal, though, showed more than enough to suggest that a semi-final appearance for the first time since 2013 was not beyond them.
