In theory Arsenal could make the QF again next year, with a better team, but run into Bayern again who are also better, and lose again. Twas a good opportunity that went to waste.

I think a 'B' for Bayern is even generous.
Both Bayern and Real put in 'Professional' performances.
They understand game management and have a few game-breakers.
That was 'rope-a-dope' at its finest on both stages. It wasn't pretty to watch, but its what they do.
