Arsenal Can Hold Heads High Despite Champions League Exit

There was a bit of inevitability about Tuesday night's proceedings at the Allianz Arena in the Second round second leg tie between European champions Bayern Munich and Arsenal. Before the game bookies had Arsenal 20/1 to go through and Bayern were a whopping 100/20 on to progress.
