Bayern Munich defeated Arsenal 1-0 on Wednesday and booked their spot in the Champions League semi-finals. Bayern came back from the first leg game in London with a 2-2 draw and finished the job at their Allianz Arena thanks to Joshua Kimmich’s winner in the 63rd. The Champions League is Bayern’s last hope for silverware this season after Bayer Leverkusen ended the Bavarians’ 11-year reign as Bundesliga champions last weekend. They will play in the tournament’s semi-finals for the first time since the 2019-20 season, when they were crowned champions. The match between defending champions Manchester City and record winners Real Madrid went to extra-time after they played out a 1-1 draw in regular time (4-4 on aggregate). Real Madrid then won the match 4-3 on penalties. (DPA)
