The battle at the Emirates Stadium ended with a score of 1-3.
Arsenal suffered a disastrous defeat at home, which almost ended their hopes of advancing to the semi-finals.
The British Guardian commented that if it weren't for Van Persie's goal in the final stage of the game, which helped the Gunners retain a theoretical chance of an away comeback, the Gunners would have been taken away by Bayern at their home court.
The Guardian was quite dissatisfied with Arsenal's performance in this game and believed that the Gunners did not play to their strengths at all.
From the data point of view, the number of shots between the two teams was 13 to 12. The Gunners had one more shot than Bayern. However, in terms of the number of shots on goal, the Gunners only had three shots, while Bayern had as many as nine. The latter's efficiency
It is obviously much higher than the former.
The factor that caused this huge disparity in efficiency is related to the playing style of the two teams in this game. Bayern adopted more of a counterattack style. Almost every counterattack created a threat, so the number of shots on goal was also more.
But on the other hand, the shooter's efficiency is indeed too low.
"Before the game, Wenger once shouted to Bayern from afar, saying that he wanted Bayern to see a completely different Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium!"
"We can understand that he was full of confidence in Arsenal at that time."
"This is the youngest team in the Premier League, with an average age of only 23 years old. At the same time, they have not conceded a single goal at the Emirates Stadium throughout 2009. What an amazing result.
!”
"In the face of such an impressive report card, Wenger has absolutely every reason to be confident in his team and the group of young players under his command. He believes that this group of young players can help him realize his long-cherished wish for many years.
"
"But when it came to the game, these young Gunners players didn't even last ten minutes before they collapsed."
"If the first goal conceded was a reflection of Su Dong's super personal ability and was caused by goalkeeper Almunia's excessive hesitation, then what about the second goal conceded? After conceding a goal, these young players were completely in disarray.
Zhang Fa, only then did Bayern seize the opportunity to counterattack and score a key goal."
The Guardian believes that today's Arsenal is like a continuation of Wenger's own character, and the same is true for this group of young players.
Either to please the fans at home, or to satisfy the pursuit of their own football concepts, or they want to try to achieve results through beautiful football... But in fact, Arsenal has always lived in an ivory tower of its own design and refused to
come out.
Their football may be beautiful, but it is too fragile.
Fans do like beautiful football and gorgeous ball control, but they like results and victory even more.
The essence of competitive football is victory!
Without victory, no matter how good the game is, is it useful?
"When the Bayern Trident relied on their individual abilities to complete a beautiful counterattack in the frontcourt, the fans at the scene began to leave one after another. The game was not over yet, but the stands were already sparsely populated."
"The fans are voting with practical actions. They are telling Wenger and telling Arsenal that beautiful football does add points, but professional football is essentially about the pursuit of victory."
"When you are in your home court and are scored three goals in a row by a powerful opponent and are unable to do anything, does it matter how good you play and how much you control the ball?"
The Guardian also pointed out a problem that Arsenal has had in its management over the years, which is the lack of a sense of belonging.
Merited veterans are all signed once a year, and meritorious captains are sold off ruthlessly, which brings a very bad atmosphere to the locker room.
"Fabregas has been frequently linked to Barcelona, Nasri has also made it clear that he will use Arsenal as a springboard, and players such as Adebayor and Arshavin have come to Arsenal in order to one day go to a higher level.
Good clubs receive higher salaries, but they never thought about staying with the Gunners and achieving success with this team."
"Because, before them, Henry, Pires, Vieira and other seniors have proved one thing, it is difficult for Arsenal to succeed today!"
The Guardian also used Bayern as an example, calling on Wenger and Arsenal to reflect on their business philosophy.
In the past two years, Bayern has become a powerful force that cannot be ignored in European football. After Su Dong joined, they have attracted the attention of the entire European football world.
After winning the Champions League last season, Bayern is still the top favorite in the Champions League this season. Especially after beating Sporting Lisbon with a total score of 13-0, Bayern's reputation has reached its peak.
Now, they defeated Arsenal 3-1 in an away game, almost locking in the semi-finals in advance, and further boosting Bayern's prestige.
In just three years, Bayern has introduced a group of players who are in their prime and of outstanding ability, which has greatly improved Bayern's overall competitiveness.
More importantly, a group of outstanding young players have emerged in the Bayern team, such as Toni Kroos, Thomas Muller, Hummels, Badstuber, Contento, etc.
The well-known young rookies in Europe are even more outstanding in strength and potential than young players such as Arsenal's Denilson and Djourou.
The Guardian believes that Bayern’s management is sound and orderly.
More importantly, with the rise in performance, the joining of superstars led by Su Dong has brought huge attention to Bayern, making the commercial operation of this Bundesliga team steadily rising, and it is now the commercial operation of European football.
The most capable team does not lose to Manchester United at all.
Finally, the Guardian concluded that if Arsenal wants to get rid of the embarrassing situation, they should introduce Sudong, Ribery and Robben instead of supporting young players such as Denilson and Djuru. Otherwise, as Manchester City may
With the rise, the Gunners may not even be able to secure the top four.

Bayern's ace rules the Emirates Stadium!
The cover of the special Champions League issue of German Kicker magazine used a photo of Su Dong's back when he kicked the free kick when he opened the scoring, and used the title to highlight Su Dong's outstanding performance in this game.
Kicker magazine believes that Su Dong took the greatest credit for Bayern's 3-1 away win over Arsenal and one foot in the Champions League semi-finals.
With two shots and one pass, Su Dong's role is undoubted from the statistics. He was also selected as the best player of the game.
But more importantly, Su Dong's pass and shot not long after the start completely disrupted Arsenal's deployment and directed this victory.
Kicker Magazine believes that Arsenal’s performance in the Champions League this season is actually not ideal. Although they defeated Porto 4-0 at home and Fenerbahce 5-2 away, they also lost 0-2 away from home.
To Porto, they gave up the top spot in the group.
Later, when they met Roma in Serie A, Arsenal played thrillingly in both rounds, and finally eliminated Roma in a penalty shootout.
“The clean sheet record at home in 2009 is certainly something to be proud of, but it cannot cover up Arsenal’s shortcomings in overall strength, and this game against Bayern exposed its defensive weaknesses.
"
"The young player Djurou, who Wenger had high hopes for, seemed vulnerable in front of the powerful Sudong. Gallas and Kolo Toure were also unable to block the impact of Bayern's trident. This made the Gunners lose at the beginning.
Conceded two goals in a row, and then the goal was frequently threatened."
Kicker magazine said that Bayern's stability left a deep impression on people, and Heynckes' response in this game seemed conservative, but in fact it contained murderous intent.
Finally, Kicker Magazine believes that Bayern's performance since 2009, especially Su Dong's state, has made people full of expectations for Bayern's next games. Heynckes' team may not have a chance to defend the title.
Triple Crown.
Especially the Champions League.
After the restructuring of the Champions League, only Barcelona successfully defended the title, and the number one contributor to Barcelona's defense at that time was Su Dong.
Now, if Bayern defends the title again, Sudong will undoubtedly become a superstar that media and fans around the world are eager to admire.
Because in the history of the Champions League, no player has ever been able to achieve such an achievement!
…
The front page of the Bild newspaper read [Su Dong makes Bayern invincible!].
German media believe that Sudong is the key to Bayern's ability to defeat Arsenal 3-1 in an away game.
Bayern's strength in the past two years is also inseparable from Su Dong's goals.
"Throughout the history of world football, there has never been a superstar who can do what Su Dong does. In fact, we have absolutely reason to believe that he has gone beyond the scope of earthlings and surpassed the limits of human beings."
Bayern Chairman Beckenbauer commented in his column that Su Dong was already a great player.
"He made us start to rethink the current trend of professional football. He redefined the center position. With his comprehensiveness, his diligence and hard work, he changed the tactical trend of world football."
Beckenbauer believed that within the current tactical framework, no one could come up with an effective way to contain Su Dongpo. The only thing that could defeat him was probably time.
"What's even more exciting is that he is only twenty-four years old!"
Youth represents potential.
Everyone knows that Su Dong has just entered the golden period of his career. As long as he is not injured or sick and continues to maintain his current status, I believe he will achieve higher achievements.
…………
…………
Whether it’s the Guardian, Kicker magazine or Bild, or even Beckenbauer’s column, their high praise for Su Dong and Bayern is already a thing of the past for Su Dong and Bayern.
.
What a professional player fears most is living on his laurels.
After the team returned to Munich from London, they quickly started preparing for the Bundesliga.
In the following period, Bayern will compete continuously in the Champions League, Bundesliga and German Cup without any chance to breathe, and the games will be one after another.
If the team wants to achieve the goal of defending the treble set by Heynckes and the Bayern giants, then the next period of the schedule is crucial.
It can even be said to be the key to success or failure!
