Bayern Munich v Arsenal live – UEFA Champions League quarter ...
Updated 17/04/2024 at 21:58 GMT
ASSURED BAYERN MUNICH ADVANCE TO LAST FOUR
Joshua Kimmich powered home a second-half winner as Bayern Munich booked their place in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals with a merited 3-2 quarter-final aggregate win over Arsenal.
Thomas Tuchel's side were worthy 1-0 winners on the night after securing a 2-2 draw at the Emirates in the first leg last week against a visiting side whose key loss of form continued after their perplexing 2-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday.
After Leon Goretzka hit the bar with a header and Raphael Guerreiro struck the post early in the second half, it was Bayern who sealed the victory on the night on 63 minutes when full-back Kimmich threw himself at Guerreiro's cross to book their spot in the last four and a match against Real Madrid.

THERE GOES THE FINAL WHISTLE!
Bayern Munich thump the ball down the pitch. The home fans calling for the final whistle. And there goes the whistle! Goretzka with a great tackle on White. Bayern Munich run out 1-0 winners on the night. They go into the last four.

AND ANOTHER YELLOW CARD FOR BAYERN MUNICH
Kimmich is the latest man into the box for a late foul on Havertz before Gabriel Jesus is booked for dissent.
Yellow card
J. Kimmich
FC Bayern Munich
Raya off his line to repel a late Bayern Munich attack before an offside flag goes up against Saka amid an almighty scramble in the home box from a long throw-in. Phew! Nervous finale in this one.
A LATE CHANCE FOR ARSENAL
Odegaard's drive at goal is pushed wide by Neuer. Wasn't on target, but the keeper was taking no chances. Somehow it isn't an Arsenal corner. Very odd. And Neuer looks surprised in the home goal.
88'
ARSENAL WITH ANOTHER CHANGE OF THEIR OWN
Eddie Nketiah introduced for the visitors to replace Takehiro Tomiyasu with Arsenal running out of time here.

HOME SIDE WELL IN CONTROL
This is what experience at UEFA Champions League level does for you. Are really taking the sting out of Arsenal, and are inching towards the semi-finals. All or nothing surely for the Gunners right here. Have to take risks.
82'
OFFSIDE FLAG GOES UP AGAINST GABRIEL JESUS
Lookied like he had timed his run to perfection, but first touch is awful before he bundles the shot well away from goal. Poor really even if the offside flag was up.
SALIBA WITH A VITAL INTERCEPTION
Raphaël Guerreiro tries to pick out Kane on the run, but Saliba intervenes in the nick of time to secure vital possession. Arsenal pressing for the equaliser.
BAYERN FANS SENSING A VICTORY
They tend to be very decent at game management skills, but a 1-0 lead in Bavaria heading for the final 10 minutes of regulation play sounds like a strong one for Bayern Munich, who are happy to keep the ball.
ARSENAL EARN FIRST CORNER OF NIGHT
Saka throws the ball deep to the back post as Neuer comes out to claw the ball away for another corner. Rice with the delivery from the other side, but there is a foul in the box with Neuer blocked as he tried to come out. Pressure off the home defence for the moment.
ARSENAL HANGING ON AT MOMENT
Saliba the latest visiting defender to knock the ball behind from the Kimmich drive after Gabriel did well to block the Sane run. Frantic stuff as Bayern chase a killer second goal.
DIER EXCELLING FOR HOME SIDE TONIGHT
Incredible to think he couldn't get a sniff of a match at Tottenham on this level of form. Really enjoying his night out in flying into some tough, but fair challenges.
70'
ARSENAL OPT TO SHUFFLE THE PACK
Leandro Trossard replaces Gabriel Martinelli, while Gabriel Jesus is on for Jorginho
VIDEO: KIMMICH FINDS THE VITAL OPENING GOAL
Was a cracking opening goal to make the run into the box. So difficult to defend.

CAN'T SAY IT WASN'T COMING
The home side have opened this second half with a real sense of purpose in hitting bar and post before Kimmich struck. Another chance falls to Sane, but he leans back and lifts the ball miles over the bar. Should have been 2-0.

GOAL! (KIMMICH) BAYERN MUNICH 1-0 ARSENAL
Kimmich with the powerful diving header from close range after Raya had palmed out the Sane cross. Guerreiro with a superb ball. Brilliant finish. And that is a 1-0 lead on the night for Bayern Munich. 3-2 on aggregate.
