MATCH REPORT:

Arsenal's season effectively ended on Tuesday night when they were completely outclassed by a vastly superior side in Bayern Munich. For all the hope occasionally inspired by Jack Wilshere, the one home player to take the fight to Bayern, Arsenal need a miracle at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday March 13.
So good were the Germans, and particularly their captain Philipp Lahm, that some Arsenal fans stayed on to applaud them off. Arsene Wenger’s frustration was clear and he went straight down the tunnel without shaking the hand of Jupp Heynckes. Petulant.
Wenger’s decision to rest players for the FA Cup against Blackburn Rovers looks even more misguided now. His failure to drill the defence better was clear again. His failure to buy a top-class replacement for Robin van Persie looks even more expensive now. He started Theo Walcott as centre-forward which did not say much for Olivier Giroud, who began on the bench, or Gervinho, who was nowhere to be seen.
Arsenal’s defence was poor throughout. Bayern seemed to be targeting Thomas Vermaelen at left-back. Per Mertesacker looked anything but a German international centre-back. Wojciech Szczesny never inspired confidence. Once again, it needs saying that Arsenal lacked leadership.
Only Wilshere enhanced his reputation here, attempting to drag Arsenal back into the game after a first half in which Bayern had played like kings. Toni Kroos was excellent, scoring the first. Thomas Muller was his usual font of energy up and down the right and he plundered the second, following more abject defending by Arsenal. Even when Lukas Podolski scored it took on a consolation feel when Mario Mandzukic scored a third away goal for brilliant Bayern.
