The Gunners were knocked out of the Champions League following a 1-0 defeat by Bayern Munich on Wednesday night, with the German side progressing to the semi-finals 3-2 on aggregate courtesy of Joshua Kimmich바카라s bullet header.

The disappointment at the Allianz Arena followed on from Sunday바카라s 2-0 home loss to Aston Villa that dented Arsenal바카라s Premier League title charge.

Mikel Arteta바카라s side are now two points behind leaders Manchester City and face a tricky trip to Molineux this weekend, knowing victory would take them top with City playing in the FA Cup.

The PA news agency understands there are some concerns within the club over tiredness and fatigue taking their toll on the players at such a crucial stage of the season, especially in the second half of the Villa game.

Following the two damaging defeats, Odegaard conceded the Champions League exit will hurt 바카라 but feels Arsenal have plenty still to play for.

바카라I mean it takes a little bit to get going again, but I think what you play for in the league is enough motivation for all of us,바카라 he said.

바카라So we just have to stick together, get back up, and keep pushing. We can still do something very special.

바카라I think that is enough motivation to just keep going, keep working hard and pushing each other. We have to keep going.

바카라Every game now is so important, it has been for a while. It has been so tight and so competitive.바카라

Kimmich headed home in the second half after Arsenal had enjoyed the best of a tense first 45 minutes, in which Gabriel Martinelli wasted the best chance for the visitors.

Bayern now go on to face Real Madrid in the last four after the LaLiga giants beat City on penalties, meaning there is no English club in the semi-finals for the first time since the 2019-20 campaign.

바카라I think it was, again, a very tight game, as the home game was,바카라 added Odegaard.

바카라But I think you see it in front of the goals, that바카라s where we lost the tie. It was a bit similar to the home game.

바카라We gave away a very easy goal today and we are not sharp enough in front of the opponent바카라s goal. That바카라s where the games are decided and that바카라s where we lost the game.

바카라We wanted to do more, so at the moment we are just disappointed. It has been a long time since we have been here (in the Champions League), but at the moment it is disappointing.

바카라We wanted to go further. We wanted to go all the way. First of all, we are disappointed, but I think we have done something good as well.

바카라Every time you get hit you have to stand up and go again. The key thing is to stand together and lift each other up. Then, as I said, we have something really nice to play for, so that바카라s where we have to put the mindset now.

바카라Of course we want to win something and that바카라s been the big goal. But I think we can바카라t look too far ahead, we have to take it day by day, and game by game.

바카라First of all, now we have to lift each other up and we have to get ready for the next game. Then we move on from there.바카라
