Arsene Wenger and his men came a little closer to an early exit of the UEFA Champions League, after crashing against Bayern Munich. The Bavarians showed no mercy and avenged their 2-0 loss against the Gunners last month, scoring five goals and dominating every aspect of the game. It could've been worse for Arsenal, but Bayern seemed to take the foot off the gas after their fourth goal of the evening.
Robert Lewandowski scored the go ahead goal for Die Roten before the first 20 minutes, while Thomas Müller and David Alaba netted two more for Guardiola's team before the ref blew the halftime whistle. Later, Arjen Robben sent his first touch of the ball into the back of the net, and finally Müller completed his brace minutes after Giroud had made it 4-1.
With this win, Bayern Munich has already booked their place for the tournament's Round of 16, while Arsenal will have to win their next games and hope for Olympiakos to slip. To make matters worse, this performance will re-write the club's record books, as Arsenal replicated their worst-ever loss in a European tournament.
Here's what fans had to say about Bayern's performance, combined with Arsenal's poor display.
Eh Robert I was just wondering how many goals did Arsenal concede tonight pic.twitter.com/4iVsscsyhA

You cannot expect Arsenal to perform on nights when they are handicapped so much. You cannot cope without 4 starters and 8 injuries
