Bayern Munich vs Arsenal LIVE: Champions League result as Gunners exit after Joshua Kimmich goal
Bayern Munich 1-0 Arsenal (3-2 agg.): Joshua Kimmich’s powerful header took Thomas Tuchel’s side through
Bayern Munich progressed to the Champions League semi-finals as Joshua Kimmich’s powerful second half header knocked Arsenal out of Europe.
With the tie delicately poised following a 2-2 draw at the Emirates Stadium last week, Kimmich thundered home the only goal of the second leg to give the hosts a deserved victory. A tight, tense affair had always looked likely to be settled by a single intervention, and the right-back provided it, surging from deep to latch on to Raphael Guerreiro’s cross and finishing with aplomb.
Bayern had twice struck the woodwork in quick succession earlier in the half, while Arsenal, despite having plenty of possesion, struggled to regularly test Manuel Neuer in goal. Defeat in Munich continued a damaging week for Mikel Arteta’s side, their Premier League hopes having taken a significant blow in a defeat to Aston Villa on Sunday.
But victory for Thomas Tuchel’s host kept their trophy hopes alive after Bayer Leverkusen secured the Bundesliga title at the weekend. The 3-2 aggregate win sets up an encounter with fellow heavyweights Real Madrid for a place in the Champions League final at Wembley.

Good afternoon
Arsenal take on Bayern Munich in the Champions League in a bid to reach the semi-finals for the first time since the 2008-09 season.
In last week’s first leg at the Emirates, the two sides shared a controversy-hit 2-2 draw with both clubs leaving north London aggrieved at not being awarded penalties.
Former Tottenham striker Harry Kane continued his impressive form against the Gunners, whose title hopes took a blow at the weekend when they were beaten 2-0 at home to Aston Villa.
Bayer Leverkusen clinched the Bundesliga title at the weekend, ending Bayern Munich’s run of 11 straight league titles. They will go into the Champions League match knowing that record has been broken, but that could mean their focus shifts to Europe, and a title they have not won since the 2019-20 season.
Here’s everything you need to know about the match.
