Walsh: Arsenal stars Sanchez and Ozil hardly sighted in Munich

Sky Sports pundit Paul Walsh put the blame of Arsenal's heavy Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich on star names such as Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez.

The former Spurs star said the Gunners were humiliated by a much better side and the likes of Ozil and Sanchez hardly featured in the 5-1 defeat.

He said on Sky: "We were questioning Ospina before the game, but he had a really good game and made several good saves. The goalkeeper was nothing to do with it.

"No continuity at centre-half and you could argue that unsettled the back four and made it harder, but I'm looking for reasons. They were beaten by a better team.

"Sanchez and Ozil are their saviours in the Premier League, but they hardly featured in tonight's game. That shows you how little of the game they were in.

"At this stage of this competition you come up against good teams and they came up against a much better team tonight who deserved to win by a million miles in the end."
