7. Arsenal’s 2-0 Win Over Bayern Munich

Arsenal had beaten Bayern Munich prior to their victory over them in October of this year, but their most recent win was a more special one in their Champions League history.

No one (including myself) really expected Arsenal to win considering the fact that they recorded two straight losses in the competition, prior to their first encounter against the Bavarians. I guess the logic that Arsenal could in no way beat Bayern if they couldn’t get past Dinamo Zagreb and Olympiacos just made sense at the time. During the game, all that logic was thrown out the window.

In what was a virtuoso performance, Arsenal scored two goals through Olivier Giroud and Mesut Ozil to seal an emphatic win over a team that is expected to go all the way. It is also worth mentioning that Arsenal managed to get the shutout over a team that scores an abundance of goals. The atmosphere created by the home fans topped off one of Arsenal’s best nights playing in the Champions League.
