14'
Robben given time to cut inside again, but this time his low, bouncing drive is easily handled by Ospina.
13'
Arsenal had set up more defensively but they really stood off Robben there and have paid the price. Worst possible start for the Gunners.
12'
That's Robben's ninth of the season. It was a super curler.
11'
GOAL! Robben opens the scoring as he cuts in on that wand of a left foot and curves a stunning long range effort beyond the dive of Ospina.

Arsenal's record against German clubs away from home is: W5 D5 L7.
8'
Vidal with the first strike on goal from 20 yards. Straight at Ospina who easily holds.
7'
Lahm already showing plenty of desire to burst forward on the right. Hard to believe he's retiring at the end of the season. A class act.
6'
DID YOU KNOW? Only Barcelona (10) have won more CL last 16 matches than Bayern (9).
5'
Lots of Bayern possession early doors. Arsenal finally get a bit of time on the ball, but Iwobi takes an age to let fly from 20 yards and sees his shot easily blocked.
4'
They prefer the term 'experienced'...
3'
Ton up for Wenger. It's a landmark night, can his team get the result he craves?
2'
This evening's official is Milorad Mazic from Serbia.

Could be a busy night for Ospina and co if the stats are anything to go by...
19.28
DID YOU KNOW? Bayern have won a record 15 straight Champions League home games in a row.
19.25
OMEN? The last time Arsenal won their group with an unbeaten record unbeaten (2005/06), they went on to reach the final.
19.23
Interesting view from former Gunner, Martin Keown...
19.20
DANGERMAN: Robert Lewandowski, has scored 30 goals in just 33 appearances for club and country this term. He has just been named Poland's footballer of the year for the sixth time on the spin.
19.18
Bayern stopper, Manuel Neuer told the media: "It will be a great game for fans to watch. It's important that we take a good result to London, ideally with a clean sheet. We defenders always give our all to stop the opponent scoring. We have had very good results. We're looking forward to the UEFA Champions League, against a top opponent, on a big stage. Arsenal have made good signings and have grown as a team in recent years. It will be two great games."
