Performances of this kind are for Londoners now outside of what is possible: Pep Guardiola Bayern came against Arsenal barely the ball – the ownership ratio of 30 to 70 percent is significantly

Arsenal in the Triple-season the Munich 2013 dueled under Jupp Heynckes in the second round with the Bavarians, was the possession nor balanced (54 and 55 percent for the respective home team). At that time the Munich came on, now the bad possession ratio (Shots on target: eight to six for Arsenal) prevented the London hard to make the game against supposedly overpowering Munich open and end with 2:. Win 0 goals
There were several reasons: First, succeeded Wenger to stop his team so that they are not lost to the Munich attack on the whole season cohesion. The zero stand – which is something that had succeeded in this season against Bayern yet no crew. The key to this was the narrow graduation of the two lines of four and the intense shifting of the center field.
one of the two central midfielder Francis Coquelin and Santi Cazorla (Select Coquelins and Cazorla action spaces in the “heat map” below)
From the headquarters was in Munich wing attacks to the outside, in order to support the Arsenal full-back in the match against Bayern winger , Not infrequently secured the defensively oriented winger towards the center even more. This consistent doubling meant that the otherwise dangerous diagonal balls Munich on Douglas Costa did not come into play.
The Bayern made it too infrequently, to resolve these situations on the wings and to initiate profitable relocation. If it succeeded, they were rewarded because of the strong shift of the Arsenal-block with large margins so earlier when Thiago chance (11 minutes).
From the frontal game out it was the Bayern unusually hard to create chances, although they as usual deep urged the opponents into their own half and the offensive by Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Müller and Costa diligently swapped positions. This was mainly due to the London rearguard. The defenders were very attentive and benefited from the low position of the whole team -. Not least captain Per Mertesacker, who was formerly frequently scolded in playing the DFB team as hüftsteif
It is dangerous for Arsenal was especially when Bavaria's go-getting technicians Thiago intervened in the front row or in own bad passes as Alexis Sanchez (43. / 60.). Ironically Thiago but had to rein in his offensive drive in the second passage. Because if he and his neighbor were advancing on the half position in midfield, Arturo Vidal, at the same time, the Bayern headquarters with the slow Director Xabi Alonso was too sparse.
This risky vacancy had played excellently in the first half of Arsenal. Had Prudent midfielder Santi Carzola initiated repeatedly dangerous counterattacks, the Turbo dribbler Sanchez and the quick attacker Theo Walcott to exploit (see chart for opportunities and Torentstehung). The vehement intervention of Munich's central defense, but also the final weakness Walcott and Manuel Neuer saves prevented this counter were rewarded with hits.
In the second half Arsenal remained focused on the defensive, the London bit more cautious orientation in their counter-attacks were thanks Thiago now but limited. The Bayern meanwhile found too rarely their final specialist Lewandowski and Müller, who gave no target (see chart). Although they enjoyed a small chance Plus, they did not use.
Ironically, it was a London goal after a default, which chose the high-class game - Arsenal had previously been shown off in this discipline of Walcott's probably out to be harmless. New not reached came from Cazorla free kick, so Olivier Giroud to 1: 0 lead hit (77th). Again was doyen Wenger pioneered, he had the massive attacker but first off the bench and added to the attacking play a new element - it was ultimately decisive. His team was in the episode carefully, so that Mesut Özil shortly before the final whistle still at 2: 0 increased
