This disappointing outcome followed a 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich in the previous week’s match at the Emirates Stadium.
The decisive second leg, held on April 17 at the Allianz Arena, saw Arsenal’s exit from the Champions League after Joshua Kimmich’s goal in the 63rd minute sealed their fate.
The disappointment among Gunners supporters was palpable on social media platforms as they critiqued Saka’s contribution to the match.
Observations highlighted his failure to register any shots, create scoring opportunities, or successfully dribble past opponents.With just three touches in Bayern’s penalty area and only one pass into the final third, Saka’s performance fell short, especially considering his consistent form for Arsenal throughout the season.
Looking ahead to Arsenal’s upcoming fixtures, they currently occupy the second position in the Premier League standings with 71 points from 32 matches, trailing Manchester City by two points.
In their recent league encounters, Arsenal recorded one loss, one draw, and three victories, placing them on equal footing with third-placed Liverpool in the league standings, albeit with a superior goal difference.
Their next league fixture is scheduled against Wolverhampton Wanderers on April 20 at the Molineux Stadium, followed by matches against Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Bournemouth, Manchester United, and Everton to conclude their domestic campaign.
This outcome underscores the challenging season faced by English clubs in European competition, prompting reflection on the performance and competitiveness of Premier League teams in continental tournaments.
