FC Bayern Munich emerged victorious from their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal clash against Arsenal on Tuesday, securing a 1-0 victory at the Allianz Arena in Germany. The German giants dominated possession throughout the match and created numerous chances, but it was Leroy Sané's stunning goal in the 62nd minute that proved decisive.
Bayern controlled the tempo of the game from the outset, with Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka dictating the midfield and Kingsley Coman and Jamal Musiala providing a constant threat from the flanks. However, they struggled to find a way through Arsenal's resolute defense, marshaled by the impressive William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães.
Arsenal had their chances to counterattack, but Bukayo Saka and Eddie Nketiah both spurned good opportunities in the first half. As the game wore on, Bayern's pressure intensified, and Sané's moment of brilliance eventually broke the deadlock. The German winger received a pass from Coman on the left wing and unleashed a powerful shot that found the bottom corner of the net.
Despite Bayern's dominance, Arsenal continued to fight until the final whistle, but they were unable to find an equalizer. The Gunners have now lost their last three games against Bayern by the same 1-0 scoreline, highlighting the gulf in class between the two teams.
Bayern will now take a narrow but significant advantage into the second leg at the Emirates Stadium on March 15th. Arsenal will need to produce a special performance to overturn the deficit and reach the Champions League semifinals.
