Arsenal dealt a heartbreaking lesson in Champions League knockout football by European royalty, writes SAMI MOKBEL

Arsenal will come again, this vibrant team, expertly assembled by Mikel Arteta is far too accomplished not to.

Their future is bright, there can be no doubt about that. Their present, however, is far less encouraging.

Here in Bavaria they were dealt a heartbreaking lesson in Champions League knockout football by European royalty, crashing out of the competition at the quarter final stage.

This will hurt - the fact Harry Kane and Eric Dier were in the opposing team would only have served to intensify the pain of deflating night.
