FC Bayern booked their place in the semi-finals of the Champions League with a 1-0 home win against FC Arsenal on Wednesday evening. Here are the press comments on the thrilling CL evening in the Allianz Arena.



Joshua Kimmich headed FC Bayern into the last four of the Champions League last night. The Munich side proved to be the more goal-orientated team, especially in the second half of the game, and ultimately won 1:0 against top English club FC Arenal by a narrow but well-deserved margin.

Munich will now face former Bayern coach Carlo Ancelotti and Real Madrid in the semi-finals.
