UEFA Champions League 2016/17: Bayern Munich 5-1 Arsenal, 5 Talking Points

Arsenal were humiliated at the hands of Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena

#4 Arjen Robben shows he still has it at 33

Arjen Robben hit a beautiful curler in the 11th minute of the game

While Bayern Munich as a whole had an absolute flier of a start to the game, the most effective contribution was provided by the Dutch winger who made Coquelin and Arsenal pay for the defensive error of allowing him time and space at the edge of the box with the ball at his left foot.

In the 11th minute, Arsenal saw their defence breached in the most elegant manner possible – with a curled shot aimed with pinpoint precision at the top right corner of Ospina’s goal, beyond the reach of his diving form at full stretch.

Robben continued to be a nuisance to Arsenal’s prospects in the second half as well, stretching their defence into making the mistakes that allowed his side to capitalise through the middle. Certainly at the top of his game, no matter his age.
