Bayern Munich -Arsenal 5-1
Arsenal
are on the verge of exiting the Champions League after crashing to a record 5-1
defeat at Bayern Munich on as Thomas Mueller netted twice.
Goals
by Robert Lewandowski, Mueller, David Alaba and Arjen Robben saw Pep
Guardiola's Bayern emphatically avenge their 2-0 defeat at the Emirates Stadium
a fortnight ago, their only loss of the season.
France
striker Oliver Giroud scored Arsenal's consolation goal with 20 minutes left,
but between them Mueller and Lewandowski have now scored 31 goals for Bayern in
all competitions this season.
This
was Arsenal's joint heaviest away defeat in Europe, equalling the 4-0 drubbing
at AC Milan in the last 16 in February 2012.
With
two games left, Arsene Wenger's side have only a mathematical chance of
reaching the knock-out phase after Dinamo Zagreb's 2-1 defeat at Olympiakos.
The
Gunners have three points along with Dinamo, while Olympiakos and Bayern both
have nine with the Germans top of Group F on goal difference.
Meanwhile,
Willian produced a brilliant free kick to give Chelsea a 2-1 win over Dynamo
Kiev.
Russia's
Zenit Saint Petersburg qualified for the Champions League last 16 on Wednesday
with a 2-0 win at French side Lyon.
Artyom
Dzyuba scored both goals as Zenit made it four wins from four
matches
in Group H.
They
are the third team to make it to the knockout stages after Real Madrid and
Manchester City.
Neymar
scored a double and Luis Suarez also netted as Barcelona defeated BATE Borisov
3-0, putting them on the verge of qualifying for the last 16 of the Champions
League for the 12th consecutive season.
