Arsenal’s manager, Arsene Wenger has gone on to admit that that he is more than happy with his team’s performance against Bayern Munich, as the team went on to fight against the odds and produce a result that they can be
very proud of.
The North London club went into the game, having lost by three goals to one in the first leg of their game against Munich. In the second leg, they were required to win by three goals to go through.
The match kicked off with Olivier Giroud scoring the opening goal of the game in the match, which was then followed by a number of near misses by both sides. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Laurent-Koscielny-c21742, who had been brilliant throughout the course of the
game, then went on to score another goal for the Gunners in the dying stages of the game, and this started to get on the nerves of the German team.
However, due to some unfavourable decisions the team failed to get any more goal scoring opportunities in the dying stages of the game, and this saw the match end with the North London club winning by two goals to nil.
This saw the Gunners get knocked out on the away goals rule, despite the tie between the two sides ending in a three all draw.
Following the game, Wenger went on to comment on the possibilities that could have been present for his team, had they managed to performed better in the first leg of the game.
"I am very proud of the team but very disappointed for everyone who follows http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 that we didn't get the third goal.”
"Qualifying is 180 minutes but our first 90 was not our best. I believe it was very possible to knock Bayern out. Overall, at least we have shown we deserved to be there.”
"They are a very defensive team and stopped us playing tonight. Honestly, the referee tonight was a bit difficult for us. We had not the same opinion on some situations.”
“I believe our defence played very well overall. They looked in control and were solid defensively. [Carl] Jenkinson, [Per] Mertesacker, Koscielny, [Kieran] Gibbs and [Lukasz] Fabianski all had good games.”
"You are never going to stop a team like Bayern creating chances."
