The game kicked off slightly later than expected due to the incident, with play held back by Bayern supporters throwing rolls of paper onto the pitch in protest of ticket prices.

Arsenal are the most expensive team to watch in English football, with a season ticket setting you back a whopping £1,014.


Alarm bells are ringing for Arsene Wenger, as many fans now call for action to be taken against the French manager following their failure to progress. With 12 games left to play, Arsenal are fifth and are outside of qualification criteria for next years Champions League.
