Long before the Arsenal players arrived for the first leg of their last-16 Champions League clash with Bayern Munich, former England striker Gary Lineker snuck in to do some filming.
With the shirts of Theo Walcott, Olivier Giroud and Gabriel hanging in the background, Lineker went behind the scenes before BT Sport’s programme started at 7pm.
But the Gunners could not emulate Linker’s success in Europe and were thumped 5-1 by a rampant Bayern Munich.

Alexis Sanchez ensured Arsenal went into the break hopeful with the scores at 1-1, but a staggering second half collapse sent fans into meltdown.
The pressure is now on Arsene Wenger to leave the club following another Champions League capitulation, with his side now facing a mountain to climb in the return leg on March 7.
Lineker and his BT Sport pundits rounded on Arsenal after the match, with the TV presenter tweeting: “Arsenal have completely disintegrated. An utter shambles and rudderless after Koscielny went off.”
Arsenal great Martin Keown said: “It's almost embarrassing - outclassed, outplayed. This is his lowest point ever. Twenty years and Arsene must be considering his future now.
"This brings forward the change that looks likely at the end of the season.
"I think it will be him that makes the decision but the realisation that the decision needs to be made is more apparent tonight."
Former Manchester United defender described Arsenal as “spineless” while Germany legend Michael Ballack revelled in Bayern “destroying” the Premier League team.
