ARSENAL struggled for big performances when they needed the most as they crashed out of the Champions League.
Joshuua Kimmich headed Bayern Munich into the semi-finals with the only goal of the night in Germany for a 3-2 aggregate success.
England heroes Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka struggled to impress for the Gunners at the Allianz Arena.
But there was encouragement in defence - except with huge question marks over the Bayern winner.
Here's how the Gunners rated in the Allianz Arena on another evening of European disappointment.
Smart save to foil Jamal Musiala in a goalless first half.
Questionable positioning once or twice, but the Spaniard could not be blamed when left completely exposed by his defence for Joshua Kimmich to head Bayern's winner.

An otherwise steady night was overshadowed by huge question marks over his role in the only goal of the night. The right-back left far too much space for Raphael Guerreiro to measure a left-wing centre buried by Kimmich.
Came out of the evening better than central-defensive partner Gabriel.
Largely composed when faced by a sharper-looking Bayen side.
Had a moment to forget when a strange backpass nearly went into his own net.
But will instead remember how he marked Harry Kane well enough to virtually shut out the England striker.
Encouraging first start since December.
Won his battle with ex-Manchester City winger Leroy Sane.
Flickered far too rarely to make the Gunners a consistent danger.
Worked hard off the ball, but that's not the reason he;s been such a key man this season.
Industrious and inventive, the Italian was Arsenal's main creative force in the first hour.
One of the England's man's quietest games of the season - just when an even bigger display than usual was needed.
Wasteful moments late on typified a frustrating night for the attacker.
But both he and Odegaard were fitness doubts beforehand - so maybe starting him was a risk too far.
Little impact as the main striker - but received scant service all night.
Not seen half as much as an attacking threat as needed.
But did a decent job supporting Tomiyasu behind him
GABRIEL JESUS (68 mins, for Jorginho) Was offside from his only chance up front
LEANDRO TROSSARD (for Martinelli, 68 mins) - pretty much anonymous.
EDDIE NKETIAH (for Tomiyasu, 86 mins) - on too late for a rating.
