That’s the view held by many and, writing in The Sun, Neil Ashton agrees after watching Arsenal fail to progress to win a Champions League knockout tie for the seventh successive year.
“This institution, one of the most famous clubs in the world, is dead and buried,” he said following Bayern Munich's 5-1 win at the Emirates, adding the Gunners are now one of European football’s minor teams.
The defeat came two weeks after the club lost by the same scoreline in Germany and ensured Arsenal became a laughing stock as delighted rivals made jokes at their expense.
