However, since August 2011, Bayern have also missed more penalties in the Champions League than any other team. - Robben was not just out there to win penalties though. More than half of Bayern’s attacking play in the first half vs Arsenal came down the right flank primarily through him. - Talking of Robben, he has scored six goals and assisted another four in his last eight Champions League matches. Last night, he received 53 passes – 16 from right back Phillip Lahm. - The most passes received and made were by Thiago Alcantara. He received 93 passes and attempted 106 with an 89% completion rate. - For Arsenal, Bacary Sagna made the most passes (36) and Santi Cazorla received the most (37). This shows you how pegged back Arsenal were. Pass-master Mesut Ozil attempted only 19 passes and was taken off at HT due to an injury. - Arsenal have won by at least two clear goals in away CL knockout games on only two occasions. That record wasn’t bettered. - Lukas Podolski loves scoring against a team which has so many of his German teammates. He has scored in both of his Champions League appearances against Bayern Munich. - English clubs were on a run of five successive Champions League away wins in Germany. That run was halted.
