After Arsenal’s quarterfinal loss to Bayern Munich, when they were denied a late corner, Martin Odegaard became enraged with the officials.

Wednesday night’s 3-2 aggregate victory over the Gunners came via a header by Joshua Kimmich, which sent the German team through the Champions League.

Despite their best efforts to tie the score during the second half, Mikel Arteta’s team was unable to find a breakthrough on the evening.

Odegaard thought they should have been given a late corner, so they might have had a chance to draw the score.

The captain of Arsenal penetrated deep into the Bayern box before attempting a shot on goal that seemed to ricochet off Manuel Neuer and Eric Dier.

Before going out, the Norwegian’s shot seemed to deflect off both Manuel Neuer and Eric Dier (R).

Nonetheless, the deflections went unnoticed by the referee and linesman, shocking the Norwegian international by awarding a goal-kick.

Odegaard screamed at the linesman and waved his fingers to indicate the deflections, letting the linesman know exactly how he felt.

He protested, but the referees stood by their call, and Bayern won the goal kick, which they used to complete their vital victory over the Gunners.

With Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus, and Martin Odegaard all having excellent opportunities, Arsenal had their chances, but they lacked the decisive edge that was necessary as their European dream ended in Munich.

In the second half, the Germans opened fire and struck the woodwork twice in as many minutes, first through Raphael Guerrero and then Leon Goretzka, before Kimmich completed the scoring.

Despite Odegaard’s arguments, the officials stuck with the original decision on the night 

The Gunners’ 3-2 aggregate loss against Bayern ousted them from the Champions League.

Arsenal’s goal was to advance to the Champions League semifinals for the first time since 2009, but they are still unbeaten against Bayern.

For Harry Kane, the former captain of Tottenham who moved to Munich for a cool £100 million last summer, a victory would have meant much more.

‘It’s been a tough season for us,’ Kane, who scored a penalty in the first leg, said to TNT following the game. There have been moments when we’ve had to struggle a lot, as today.

“We knew it would be a difficult game, but we also knew that our supporters could win.” We may celebrate this one as a fantastic accomplishment to have made it to the semi-final.
