The whistle. Half-arsed boos. Wenger walks down the tunnel looking utterly deflated. Bayern register their third 5-1 victory over Arsenal in a row. This is Arsenal’s biggest loss at the Emirates to date, and they go crashing out of the Champions League in embarrassing style. Thing is, they played well tonight up until the penalty and red card, and none of the big decisions went their way. But given what happened afterwards, none of that really matters. It’s one thing being ultimately outclassed - there’s no shame in losing to this Bayern Munich side - but another capitulating totally. The mood around the Emirates is resigned and funereal; it feels like the end of days at ArsenalLabels: latest, sport
