Arsenal 1-3 Bayern Munich - 5 Things We Learned

4. The Emirates Is No Longer A Fortress

Fans of a certain age will remember the days of old when Arsenal's home ground was an impenetrable fortress that was rarely breached. In the Premier League season of 2003/04, the likes of Jens Lehmann, Ashley Cole, Martin Keown, Patrick Vieira, Dennis Bergkamp, Robert Pires and Thierry Henry helped Arsenal to an astonishing unbeaten season under Arsene Wenger at Highbury and they claimed the league title with consummate ease. In those days, Highbury was an imposing and dreaded place to visit, but today, the recently-built Emirates simply doesn't have the same fear factor. Arsenal have now lost back-to-back games at home in the space of three days and that Bayern Munich were able to go there and put this Champions League tie to bed after one leg tells you everything you need to know.
