BAYERN MUNICH 1-0 ARSENAL (3-2 AGG): Joshua Kimmich's second-half goal made the difference at the Allianz Arena to send Bayern Munich through to the Champions League semi-finals

Arsenal's Champions League journey ended at the Allianz Arena, with Joshua Kimmich heading Bayern Munich into the semi-finals.

Harry Kane, who scored from the penalty spot in the first leg, sent the first chance of the game wide of David Raya's goal. It took 20 minutes for the visitors to get close to threatening Manuel Neuer, with Gabriel Martinelli twisting through a couple of challenges but failing to get a shot away. 1.

2. Tomiyasu tweak works up to a point After starting Jakub Kiwior at left-back in the first leg, Mikel Arteta opted to give Takehiro Tomiyasu the nod in Germany. It was the Japan international's first start since December, but question marks over recent performances from Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko prompted the Arsenal manager to shuffle the pack.

The England striker enjoyed an impressive record against Arsenal while on Tottenham's books, but wasn't able to score from open play in North London. After a couple of early chances, he was mostly kept quiet by William Saliba and Gabriel in the first half at the Allianz Arena.
