Bayern Munich booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a 5-1 win over Arsenal at the Emirates on Tuesday night.
The Bundesliga champions came into the second leg of the round-of-16 tie with a 5-1 win.
The Gunners needed four unreplied goals to pull off a miracle. They opened scoring through Theo Walcott’s emphatic finish.
However, the match turned quickly on its head, after captain Laurent Koscielny was sent off and a penalty was awarded to the visitors. Robert Lewandowski stepped up and equalized.
Arsenal collapsed once again and further goals from Arjen Robben, Douglas Costa and Arturo Vidal (twice) completed a miserable night for Arsene Wenger’s team.
In Italy, holders Real Madrid defeated Napoli 3-1 (6-2), to also qualify for the last eight.
