Rodrygo scored on the rebound in the 12th minute to give his side the lead, and after trying incredibly hard in the second half, Kevin De Bruyne managed to equalise after pouncing on a loose ball in the box.
The Belgian took several shots on goal, with the total shots racking up to 30. And in spite of his prolific finishing record, he wasn’t able to score again.
Bayern Munich 1-0 Arsenal

The game started slow, with barely any opportunities in the first half. The second half, however, saw Bayern pick up the pace. Goretzka and Guerreiro struck the post within seconds, before Kimmich pounced on a great delivery from his teammate.
The Gunners barely created any opportunities in the game, and have now crashed out of the Champions League in the quarter finals stages.
