Bayern Munich, the German Bundesliga giants, have eliminated Arsenal from the UEFA Champions League by securing a 1-0 home win in their quarterfinal tie on Wednesday night.
In the first leg of the tie at the Emirates Stadium last week, both teams played to a 2-2 draw, setting the stage for a decisive second leg.
Having yielded their Bundesliga title to new champions Bayer Leverkusen recently, Bayern Munich has successfully progressed to the semifinals of the Champions League.
Arsenal have not reached the Champions League’s semi-finals since 2008-09, and were knocked out by a Bayern side who had endured a poor domestic season.
With Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman unavailable for the game because of injury, Joshua Kimmich’s powerful 63rd-minute header from Raphael Guerreiro’s cross was enough to send the Germans through.
Bayern will now face Real Madrid, who in the other game same Wednesday night defeated defending champions Manchester City via penalty shootout.
