How a team react when a game is lost can tell you a lot. Arsenal's response to impending defeat was to roll over for a tummy tickle and the upshot was a night of perfect symmetry.

5-1 to add to a 5-1 and an aggregate score of 10-2. It is the kind of scoreline that you have to look at for a while to really understand. 10-2. 10-2. Yes, really. Look away and look back and it will still be the same.

Tuesday night's result didn't necessarily reflect the flow of this game. Arsenal were the better team for almost an hour and were in the lead until Laurent Koscielny was sent off for conceding the penalty that led to Bayern's equaliser.
