Champions League: Bayern Munich defeats Arsenal and reaches the semi-finals

After the draw (2-2) in the first leg in London, Bayern Munich won this Tuesday at home against Arsenal (1-0), in the semi-final second leg of the Champions League. Very quickly, the game proposed by the two teams suggested that the first team to score would win. This is what happened. After a first period where both teams tried to respect their defensive tactical plan, Bayern managed to create several serious chances in the second half until Joshua Kimmich opened the scoring, who regained the lead. head a cross from Guerreiro (63rd).

During the first 45 minutes, both teams focused defensively. The English in 4-4-2 constantly sought to cut the passing line towards Harry Kane, while Bayern worked to cut off the desires of Martinelli and Saka by pressing two on these players. Apart from a strike from Mazraoui magnificently saved by Ben White (21st) and a strike from 18 meters from Martinelli served by Odegaard (31st), the opportunities were rare.

The second half started at a different pace. From the restart, Goretzka and Guerreiro respectively found the crossbar and the post on the same action (47th). The Mazraoui-Guerreiro doublet then stood out. On the left side and on several occasions, they found Sané (65th) or Musiala (82nd). It was finally on a cross from Guerreiro that the solution came. Upon recovering Sané's first cross, touched with the fingertips by Raya, the Portuguese saw Kimmich's long call in the area and placed the ball on the Bavarian full-back's head.

Despite opening the score, the Londoners did not find a solution to take the opposing defense from behind. Laimer and Goretka showed rare intensity to compensate for their central defenders or help the full-backs. Symbol of their importance, this last tackle by Goretzka at the feet of Ben White (93rd) while Arsenal had just played a free kick quickly.

Before that, the German central hinge annihilated any attempt by Havertz, invisible in this match. Manuel Neuer only really needed to work once, on Martinelli's shot in the first half. Neither the entry of Trossard nor that of Gabriel Jesus will have changed the face of an apathetic Arsenal.

Bayern will face in the final, the winner of City-Real Madrid, two teams currently in overtime. Arsenal must now focus on the Premier League so as not to experience a blank season...
