Champions League: Arsenal v Bayern Munich – in pictures
With Franck Ribéry and Arjen Robben in their squad, Bayern pose a considerable threat to Arsenal's chances of reaching the final at Wembley in May. Arsenal fans may be relieved to hear Robben is starting from the benchPhotograph: Christof Stache/AFP/Getty ImagesThis Bayern fan has come prepared - though we're not entirely sure what forPhotograph: Kerim Okten/EPAArséne Wenger was tetchy as hell in his pre-match press conference on Monday, accusing the media of trying to harm his club and suggesting that in years to come people would recognise the quality of his teamPhotograph: John Sibley/Action Images
... But Toni Kroos is the man causing the harm tonight - he's just put Bayern 1-0 up in the sixth minute with a strike from the edge of the box which skipped off the turfPhotograph: John Sibley/Action ImagesArsenal's players look perplexed. They had started quite brightlyPhotograph: KERIM OKTEN/EPABayern's Bastian Schweinsteiger, left, tackles Arsenal's Jack WilsherePhotograph: Alastair Grant/APThomas Muller adds a second for the visitors, poking home from close range in the 20th minutePhotograph: Glyn Kirk/AFP/Getty ImagesThey're dominating every facet of this match and deserve their two-goal leadPhotograph: Eddie Keogh/ReutersThe Bayern fans look happy - and they might fancy their chances of witnessing more away goals in the second halfPhotograph: Dylan Martinez/ReutersArsenal spring a surprise in the second half when Lukas Podolski heads in a loose ball following a set-piece. That's the first time Bayern have conceded in 664 mins of playPhotograph: Eddie Keogh/ReutersBut Bayern's Mario Mandzukic capitalises on some shocking defending - somehow looping the ball into the net with his heel as he tumbles to the floor - to make it 3-1 to Bayern in the 77th minutePhotograph: Alastair Grant/APAn ugly goal and a ugly ending for Arsenal. Their hopes have been crushed in the space of 90 minutesPhotograph: Anthony Devlin/PAWenger is livid, though Jack Wilshere claims afterwards it's not his fault. It will take one hell of a performance to turn this around in Germany, but Wilshere insists: "We're not out of it yet". Photograph: John Sibley/Action Images
