It was a miserable night in Munich for north Londoners Arsenal as the Gunners were dumped out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage by the Bavarians
Arsenal's players were the subjects of some brutal player ratings from German outlet BILD after a dismal display against Bayern Munich on Wednesday night.
Arsenal actually started brightly and played more of their football in Bayern's defensive third than many expected, but a lapse in concentration defensively from both Takehiro Tomiyasu and Gabriel Martinelli meant Kimmich had plenty of space to head home emphatically past David Raya. As a result of the toothless performance, BILD did not hold back in their player ratings section. The publication measures player displays on a scale of one to six, with one being the best grade and six the worst. Four of Arsenal's players got the second-worst mark possible.
From the resulting corner, which ended up being one of the final kicks of the match, Saka failed to beat the first man. Considering what was riding on it and the fact that Gunners goalkeeper Raya had come up to try and force an equaliser, it was notably poor from the Arsenal academy graduate to not produce a more inviting corner.It must be said that Saka was not the only one who was deemed to have a terrible evening in the eyes of the German outlet.
