If one were to be kind on Arsenal, they did at least have 45 minutes when Arsène Wenger could argue that his team had the better of one of Europe’s real superpowers. That, however, would be exceedingly kind – a sympathy vote, one could call it – bearing in mind the full story of their latest ordeal. Once again they came up dreadfully short and this time the question has to be asked about whether it will be Wenger’s last involvement with this club in the Champions League.
If so, he should be accustomed to the disappointment by now, given this is the seventh successive season his team have gone out at the first knockout stage. Bayern have accounted for three of those exits and Arsenal, to put it bluntly, must be sick of the sight of them. Ten-two on aggregate is not just a defeat; it is an embarrassment. It was Arsenal’s heaviest defeat at the Emirates since it opened for business in 2006 and the worst result, over two legs, for any English club at this level – and perhaps the most demoralising part for Arsenal’s supporters is that it did not even seem like a surprise.
Bayern could have added more.
