Arsenal fans expressed their frustration after a refereeing error went against them in their Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich. The Gunners were trailing 1-0 in the quarter-final second leg in Germany, with Bayern leading 3-2 on aggregate.

Captain Martin Odegaard was left incensed when Arsenal were not given a corner, despite his shot deflecting off Eric Dier and being tipped behind by keeper Manuel Neuer. Referee Danny Makkelie instead pointed for a goal kick, leading Odegaard to remonstrate with the assistant referee. Fans took to social media to criticize the decision, with some suggesting the game was rigged. However, there is no evidence to support such claims.

Arsenal’s defeat to Bayern followed a 2-0 loss to Aston Villa in the Premier League, leaving them two points behind champions Manchester City with six games remaining. Arsenal now face Wolves in their next match as they look to bounce back from their recent setbacks.
