Arsenal are all but out of this year’s Champions League, after they were hammered 5-1 by Bayern Munich on Wednesday night.
The Gunners have not qualified for the quarter-finals in the last seven years and were hoping to get a decent result at the Allianz Arena, ahead of the second leg in England.
Arjen Robben gave the hosts the lead, cutting in from the right to fire past David Ospina into the roof of the net. Alexis Sanchez saw his penalty saved, but converted the rebound to make it 1-1.
In the second half, it was all Carlo Ancelotti’s men, as Robert Lewandowski, Thiago Alcantara (twice) and Thomas Muller got on the scoresheet, to establish a massive lead on aggregate.
Real Madrid came from behind to beat Napoli 3-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The visitors went ahead through Lorenzo Insigne, but Zinedine Zidane’s team replied with goals from Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos and Casemiro.
