UEFA Champions League 2016/17: Twitter trolls Arsenal after they are ripped apart by Bayern Munich

Arsenal helped Thomas Muller rediscover his form

Carlo Ancelotti’s Bayern Munich ripped apart Arsenal at the Allianz Arena to gain an unassailable 4-goal lead in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 clash. Arjen Robben set the ball rolling in the 11^th minute when he cut in from right in typical fashion to find the back of the net from range. Arsenal equalised through Alexis Sanchez, whose spot-kick was saved by Manuel Neuer but he converted on the rebound, after Laurent Koscielny was fouled by Robert Lewandowski inside the box.

After half-time, it was a different ball game as the Gunners lost Laurent Koscielny to injury and it was a goal fest. Thiago Alcantara hit a brace while Lewandowski and out-of-form Thomas Muller grabbed a goal apiece. The second leg is a dead rubber with the Bavarians far too superior to Arsene Wenger’s side.

The North London outfit had another infamous record to their name, to become the first English team to concede 200 goals int he Champions League.

Twitter, as you would expect, trolled Arsenal after yet another humiliating display in the knockout stage of the Champions League. Here are the best tweets:

Is the end near for Arsene Wenger?

He's going this summer, make the last games of the greatest ever Arsenal legend easier. Support the club til the end and it all will change.
— Spanish Gooner (@ElSpanishGooner) February 15, 2017

Arsenal fans & ex-players who continue to back him are now damaging this great club.
He has to go. #WengerOut
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) February 15, 2017

Hard not to feel desperately sorry for Wenger at this point. He seems broken here, speaking.
— Miguel Delaney (@MiguelDelaney) February 15, 2017

Wenger should: - I will leave in the summer
Team should: - Win games for a great farewell
Fans should: - Never forget what he has built

Shambles!

Sums up Arsenal's dreadful night that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is on the pitch on his own clapping the wrong fans. Bayern's clapping him back

To clarify on Oxlade-Chambelain, he ended up clapping both sets because it was hard to see the difference. Credit to him for coming back out

Ohh... Burn!

Taken a while but Wenger finally got Arsenal playing like Barcelona in the Champions League

Was that the plan all along?

It is disappointing to lose heavily to Bayern. On the other hand, we should have lulled Sutton into an outstanding false sense of security.

Stats don’t lie...

5 – There have been four instances of an English team conceding five goals in a CL match – two of them by Arsenal. Outclassed. #FCBvAFC

According to official Uefa stats, Arsenal committed just one foul in the second-half. That's not really going down fighting...

Arsenal bringing on Theo Walcott. Better off bringing on Steve Bould and calling down Martin Keown from the studio.

Glorious failure and all that

It's all over. Bayern win 5-1, and we can look forward to Arsenal scraping a "brave" win over a not-arsed Bayern in the return leg.
