Greatest margin of victory over two  legs...

2008/09: Bayern 12-1 Sporting
2016/17: Bayern 10-2 Arsenal




Bayern Munich condemned Arsene Wenger to more humiliation as a 10-man Arsenal were eliminated from the prestigious European tournament with a crushing defeat amid furious protests against the beleaguered Gunners boss.

But within seconds the referee had changed his mind and instead of booking Koscielny he gave him a straight red




Aiming to stage an incredible recovery from a 5-1 first leg deficit, Wenger's side briefly looked capable of a famous escape act when Theo Walcott opened the scoring in the first half

Arsène Wenger "When you are down to ten men and have to score four goals it becomes, in the heads of the players, impossible." 




It was the first time Arsenal had conceded five at the Emirates and by the closing stages, there was a funereal atmosphere on an evening that started with Arsenal fans staging a protest march calling for Wenger to quit and ended with a chorus of boos and banners held up proclaiming: "Enough is enough - Wenger out".


It was yet another chastening experience in the Champions League for Wenger, who has now seen Arsenal eliminated in the last 16 for seven successive seasons.
