( CNN ) -- In the end , it was all too familiar . Arsenal went out , Bayern went through -- same story , different season . For all the talk of Arsenal being able to emulate last season 's famous victory at the Allianz Arena , there was one thing sorely lacking . Goals . That it managed to secure a 1-1 draw will provide some comfort to manager Arsene Wenger , whose club has gone nine years without winning a trophy . A 3-1 aggregate defeat means Arsenal will now have to shift its focus to the Premier League and FA Cup while Bayern continues its quest to dominate this competition . Last year , Arsenal arrived in Munich trailing 3-1 after a first leg where it had been taught a footballing lesson by the German giant . On that occasion , written off by every football expert on the planet , it produced one of its finest performances of recent times to win 2-0 only to exit the competition on away goals . A year on , Arsenal once again walked into the cauldron facing a two-goal deficit against a Bayern team 20 points clear at the top of the Bundesliga and determined to become the first club to successfully defend the Champions League title . Wenger 's side , without several injured players including Theo Walcott and Aaron Ramsey as well as the suspended Wojciech Szczesny , was always going to find the going tough . After a rather turgid first half where neither side really managed to find its rhythm , the game exploded into life nine minutes after the interval . Bayern broke down the right and when Arsenal failed to cut out Franck Ribery 's cross , Bastian Schweinsteiger took advantage by firing home from close range . That should have seen Bayern out of sight , but Arsenal had other ideas . Lukas Podolski , once of Bayern , chased down Philipp Lahm and after the defender stumbled under pressure , the Arsenal forward took possession and rifled the ball past Manuel Neuer . That signaled a period of Arsenal pressure but while the visiting side found extra space going forward , it was unable to make the breakthrough . It was Bayern which should have won the tie in stoppage time when Arjen Robben went down in the penalty area under the challenge of Laurent Koscielny . Thomas Muller stood up to take the spot kick but his effort was parried by Lukasz Fabianski , who then beat the Bayern forward to the loose ball . Not that it mattered to Bayern though , which qualified for the last eight for the 13th time . `` On the day 2-0 was n't the best result in the first leg but we still had a chance to give it our all and to get a result , '' Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain told ITV . `` Bayern has weaknesses like any other team and when you score anyone can get nervous . When we did that we thought we had a chance but we just could n't do it . `` Maybe we lacked a bit of quality with the final ball . At the top level you need that . The boys put in a great shift but we can be proud of our efforts . '' Arsenal 's misery was compounded by an injury to record signing Mesut Ozil , who was withdrawn at halftime with a hamstring problem . In the night 's other game , Atletico Madrid sealed its place in the quarterfinals for the first time in 17 years following a 5-1 aggregate victory over seven-time champion AC Milan . Leading 1-0 from the first leg , Atletico , second in in La Liga , took a third minute lead through the prolific Diego Costa on its way to a 4-1 win win . Milan equalized courtesy of former Real Madrid star Kaka but further goals from Arda Turan , Raul Garcia and Costa 's second sealed the win . `` We are grateful for the support of the fans , and the truth is that the team deserves congratulating for the way it has played , '' Costa told Spanish television . `` We have done ourselves proud . All teams who reach the quarterfinals are very good . For now we 'll just enjoy . '' Manager Diego Simeone was part of the last Atletico side which reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League in 1997 . Here , he watched on as his team cruised past a troubled Milan team which has struggled so badly in Serie A this season . Milan 's defeat means there will be no Italian club in the last eight of the competition for the first time since 2009 . Costa , who made his debut for Spain last week , was the hero at the San Siro in the first leg and once again it was he who tormented Milan . His spectacular opener set the home side on its way and even when Kaka leveled , Atletico refused to buckle . Turan netted a classy second before Garcia headed home Koke 's cross to give his side a two-goal cushion . Costa then wrapped up the win late on with his seventh goal in five Champions League games .
Bayern Munich through to last eight of the Champions League . The German champions have won their first three games in Group E and are top of group A with six points from four games. Atletico Madrid seals place in quarterfinals following Milan victory . Atletico won 4-1 on the night and 5-1 on aggregate .
