Arsenal's impossible task to make it through to the Champions League quarter-finals fell short with a 1-1 draw against Bayern Munich, so how did the players fare?
Mesut Ozil looked tired again and was subbed off at half time with a hamstring problem.
All of the Gunners played their part defensively to keep Bayern at bay but the quality of Germans ultimately came through.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Lukas Podolski gave hope to Arsene Wenger's side and were the stand out men for the north London side.
Arjen Robben was the top pick on the night with his pace and trickery a constant threat.
So how did they fare? See the ratings from the Allianz Arena below...
Show all 22 1 /22Bayern Munich 1 Arsenal 1: Player Ratings Bayern Munich 1 Arsenal 1: Player Ratings Manuel Neuer 6 In truth had little else to do but pick the ball out of his net from Podolski’s goal. One nervy clearance nearly let Rosicky in but never really in trouble. Would have been a touch disappointed to be beaten at near post

Bayern Munich 1 Arsenal 1: Player Ratings Philipp Lahm 6 Quieter than in first leg and little as an attacking force but didn’t put a foot wrong defensively. Seemingly fouled in lead up to Podolski’s goal
AP
Bayern Munich 1 Arsenal 1: Player Ratings Dante 6 Booked early on for cynically blocking off Oxlade-Chamberlain which kept him honest for rest of the game. Steady and dependable and gave Giroud very little
AP
Bayern Munich 1 Arsenal 1: Player Ratings Javi Martinez 6 Rightly called offside after neat volleyed finish past Fabianski. Guilty of bad foul on Podolski, booked and frustrating with overacting at times. Cleared danger well after Neuer’s poor clearance
EPA
Bayern Munich 1 Arsenal 1: Player Ratings David Alaba 7 Produce fine saving tackle to deny Giroud as Arsenal put pressure on after goal. Tireless up and down the wing and near faultless at the back
Getty Images
Bayern Munich 1 Arsenal 1: Player Ratings Thiago Alcantara 6 Quality all round play if unspectacular. Tried to set up Mandzukic when an effort at goal might have been the better option

Bayern Munich 1 Arsenal 1: Player Ratings Bastian Schweinsteiger 7 Scored vital opening goal with composed touch and finish showing his class. Tired slightly but understandable after injury break
Getty Images
Bayern Munich 1 Arsenal 1: Player Ratings Arjen Robben 8 Main threat for the home team all night and looked capable of scoring at any time. Pace and power throughout and was clever to win penalty late on. Guilty of some suspected diving but looked the best player on the night
Getty Images
Bayern Munich 1 Arsenal 1: Player Ratings Franck Ribery 6 (Muller, 83) Relatively quiet night by the Frenchman's standards but produced moment of real quality to set up Schweinsteiger for Bayern’s vital goal
Getty Images
Bayern Munich 1 Arsenal 1: Player Ratings Mario Gotze 5 (Kroos, 59) Could have scored just before halftime but hit straight at Fabianski. Quiet as real attacking threat but neat with the ball, taken off on hour mark
EPA
Bayern Munich 1 Arsenal 1: Player Ratings Mario Mandzukic 6 Should have scored from Thiago’s pull back but made a hash of it. Hold up play was decent and link up well but never really a threat in front of goal. Could have scored with header late on but blocked
Getty Images
Bayern Munich 1 Arsenal 1: Player Ratings Lukasz Fabianski 8 Played he’s part as Arsenal tried to compete their near impossible task. Fantastic double save from Muller’s penalty late on and denied Gotze and Mandzukic well. Cleared up well and came off line quickly throughout. Had no chance with Schweinsteiger’s goal

Bayern Munich 1 Arsenal 1: Player Ratings Bacary Sagna 6 Jittery under pressure from Alaba which nearly led to opening goal. Made up for uncertainty early on with solid display in second half
Getty Images
Bayern Munich 1 Arsenal 1: Player Ratings Per Mertesacker 7 Very strong in the air as always and put in plenty of blocks with good positioning. The big German lived up to his famous chant with a towering display
Bongarts/Getty Images
Bayern Munich 1 Arsenal 1: Player Ratings Laurent Koscielny 6 Was scrappy at times and made a few mistakes included gifting a chance to Gotze which should have opened the scoring before half time. On the whole dealt well with Robben and put in a whole hearted performance
Getty Images
Bayern Munich 1 Arsenal 1: Player Ratings Thomas Vermaelen 6 Booked for foul on Ribery but did his best to deal with the quality of opposition. No attacking threat from the certain back come left back but coped well with defensive work
Getty Images
Bayern Munich 1 Arsenal 1: Player Ratings Mikel Arteta 6 (Gnabry, 76) After been booked for cynical foul taken off with quarter hour left and replaced with Gnabry as Arsenal went for broke. Steady in the defensive
Getty Images
Bayern Munich 1 Arsenal 1: Player Ratings Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain 8 (Flamini 83) Arsenal’s best player by a distance in first half with his pace and bravery. Energy faded slightly in second half but produced a number of fine sweeping passes instead. Quick and strong, the Ox continues to impress
Getty Images
Bayern Munich 1 Arsenal 1: Player Ratings Lukas Podolski 7 Arsenal’s biggest threat in the second half and earned his goal with some dogged play and riffled home goal
Getty Images
Bayern Munich 1 Arsenal 1: Player Ratings Mesut Ozil 4 Very quiet night for the German who look jaded and off the pace. Taken off at half time with a tight hamstring and Arsenal looked better for it
Getty Images
Bayern Munich 1 Arsenal 1: Player Ratings Santi Cazorla 5 Ineffective throughout but link up play and passing was nice in the mid field. Only real chance came from a deflected free kick that had Neuer momentarily unsure
Getty Images
Bayern Munich 1 Arsenal 1: Player Ratings Olivier Giroud 5 Was kept very quiet by Bayern’s defence and had little to work with. Held up nicely at times but was on the fringes of the match
