Bayern Munich vs. Arsenal: Bavarians barely hold on

Neither side looked particularly impressive early on in the second half, as they both attacked cautiously, weary of their opposition’s counter-attacking threat, and for good reason. Arsenal nearly created a great chance in the 56th minute on a through ball to Walcott, setting up what should have been a two-on-two attack, but the Arsenal winger was erroneously called offside.

Around the 75th minute, Bayern began to play a more conservative game and Arsenal generate a couple of half-chances. Giroud failed to touch a ball to a waiting Cazorla in the box around that time, but couldn’t set up what would have led to a clear shot for the Spaniard. In the 78th minute, a beautiful team move ended up with substitute Gervinho having a brief look at goal, but he put a difficult and very well contested chance just wide of the far post from 10 yards.

• Depressed about your team? It gets better.

• Watch: Djimi Traore’s ridiculous goal

So, in other words, Arsenal will be knocked out unless they manage to score at least three goals against a much better side away from home. Why even watch this game? Because watching them try will be funny.
