Kroos scored in the 54th minute with a stunning strike, curling the ball past Arsenal goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski, who came on after Wojciech Szczesny was sent off for fouling Arjen Robben. An unmarked Mueller scored with a powerful header from close range in the 88th. Both teams missed penalties in the first half, with Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil shooting straight at Manuel Neuer, and Bayern midfielder David Alaba clipping a post....

Jupp Heynckes’ men could have won the title with last weekend’s 6-0 Klassiker crushing of Borussia Dortmund had Schalke not beaten Freiburg, but there was to be no denying them this time around. Bayern, though, were given a scare when a Niklas Sule own goal put Augsburg ahead before Corentin Tolisso, James Rodriguez, Arjen Robben and Sandro Wagner turned the game on its head to spark wild celebrations come the final whistle....

Pep Guardiola’s injury-hit side recovered from last week’s set-back in Portugal by beating Hoffenheim 2-0 this past weekend and is a clear -350 favorite with the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook to get themselves back into the tie by coming out on top here. The visitors are the only unbeaten side left in the competition and are available at +900 at the SuperBook to maintain that record with a shock victory this time out, or +475 to clinch their progression by grinding out a draw....

The Italian was fired by the Bundesliga giants in September 2017 after a 3-0 Champions League defeat at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain. Ancelotti led Bayern to the Bundesliga title in his only full season in charge, but poor performances in Europe saw him depart. Rummenigge was tasked with informing the former Chelsea and Real Madrid head coach of Bayern’s decision to move him on, with the experience proving emotional for Bayern’s chairman....

Bayern’s pursuit of the teenager saw the Premier League side reject a series of bids during the January transfer window as sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic failed to complete a deal. Maurizio Sarri said the Blues board assured him Hudson-Odoi would not be sold in January and criticised Bayern’s approach for the attacker. But Bayern’s executive board chairman Rummenigge indicated Hudson-Odoi will again be a top target for the Bundesliga champions when the window re-opens....

Bayonetta 3, like Devil May Cry before it, features a mixture of different characters you can take control of from time to time. Bayonetta herself is the main protagonist of course—the game carries her name, after all—but this adventure is such a sprawling one that she needs a little assistance from time to time. Just because you can swap between characters at certain points doesn’t mean the game loses any of its lustre....

In their most recent clash on December 21, the Thunder registered a 15 run win at the Manuka Oval. In a rain-affected game, the Thunder posted 81/5 on the scoreboard and then restricted the Stars at 74/6.

Pioltello United, on the other hand, are rock-bottom in the ECS T10 Milan standings, losing two in two. They head into Tuesday’s fixture on the back of a eight-wicket loss to Bogliasco.

In response to a question raised at the Rajya Sabha, Sonowal said: “BCCI is an autonomous body registered under the Societies Act. It is not feasible for the Government to take over and run the day to day activities of BCCI." Sonowal, however, acknowledged the fact the government is well aware of the issues surrounding the Indian cricket board and is trying to bring the BCCI under the Right To Information Act (RTI) act so that they can monitor the progress and hold them accountable when such controversies arise in the future....

Maybe he was just thinking about the turkey and side dishes he was planning to have after Thursday afternoon’s Bears-Lions matchup, but the Chicago QB seemed to actively avoid a first down in the closing stages of the second quarter. So, what exactly was Trubisky doing here? A few potential explanations: — Still hobbled by injuries, he didn’t want to get smoked by either DB closing down on the play....

“We’re moving forward with Jay Cutler as our starting quarterback,” first-year general manager Ryan Pace told reporters on Wednesday. That confirmation may have been definitive, but Pace didn’t make that declaration until two months into his tenure and that of new head coach John Fox. In between, Pace and Fox got to know Cutler and tried to determine whether they were comfortable with him as the starter. During the vetting, Pace added that despite rumors, they had “zero” interest in trading Cutler and gave doing so no effort....

The future looks dark for abject Arsenal Arsenal fans are growing increasingly disillusioned following their latest dip in form, with Bayern recording back-to-back 5-1 wins to condemn the Gunners to a seventh successive Champions League last-16 exit. Hummels knows how it feels to lose heavily to Bayern, having been beaten 5-1 with Borussia Dortmund in the past, but insists that big defeats are a normal part of football and that his side shouldn’t feel guilty for heaping on the misery....

Leon Bailey’s brace consigned Bayern to a 2-1 home defeat on Saturday and brought an end to Flick’s perfect start as interim boss. The champions are now three points adrift of RB Leipzig as their Bundesliga title defence continues to splutter almost a month on from Niko Kovac’s dismissal. Concern over the widening gap and the sudden availability of Mauricio Pochettino led to the suggestion that Bayern could hasten their search for a new head coach....

The group game between the two clubs could go a long way to determining not only who qualifies for the knockout stages of the competition, but also who finishes top of their group after both teams won their opening games, reports Xinhua. Last season saw Atletico triumph against Bayern to book their place in the final, and this season Diego Simeone’s side has turned things around after a slow start to their campaign to move into third place in their domestic league with four straight wins....

Keita pleads Leipzig for Liverpool move Gnabry had been linked to Hoffenheim when he activated an exit clause in his contract with Werder Bremen, and RB Leipzig expressed an interest too. The 22-year-old joined the Bundesliga champions instead, but CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge admitted on Thursday that he wanted a season on loan. Bayern have now confirmed that the former Arsenal player will make the move to the side that finished fourth in the German top flight last term....

Bayern Vier, Schalke Nul rang around the Allianz Arena at full time as Bayern Munich are now surely the runaway leaders of the Bundesliga with a fifteen point lead and only thirteen games to play, courtesy their 4-0 thumping of Schalke 04 in Bavaria. In the Allianz Arena, whose thermometer read minus four degrees Centigrade, Jupp Heynckes decided to bring on his big (well, equally big) guns for this game, with Mario Gomez and Arjen Robben both returning from the bench to take their starting places against Schalke 04 in a 4-2-3-1 formation with Thomas Muller and Mario Mandzukic dropping to the bench....

Domagoj Vida’s sending off after just 16 minutes proved to be decisive during the first leg, as Bayern were ruthless in attack from then on and had the numerical advantage to make things increasingly tough for their Turkish visitors. Despite this, it was not until the 43rd minute that they took the lead, from which the floodgates then opened. Thomas Muller broke the deadlock and Kingsley Coman made it 2-0 shortly after the interval....

After much speculation regarding his future, the Colombia international has taken the decision to open a new chapter in his career with the Bundesliga champions. Ancelotti to rediscover the Real James A move to Manchester United had been mooted at one stage, but Bayern have secured the 25-year-old on an initial two-year loan deal with the option to buy. The German giants are delighted to have acquired the services of a much sought-after asset, but got slightly confused in their rush to reveal the deal....
