MUNICH — Bayern Munich beat Arsenal 1-0 in the first leg of the Women's Champions League quarterfinals on Tuesday for a 13th straight win in all competitions.
Lea Schuller’s header in the 39th minute at Allianz Arena separates the teams heading into the second leg in London next week.

Roma was playing 2021 champion Barcelona later Tuesday. The first legs of the other two quarterfinals — Lyon vs. Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain vs. Wolfsburg — take place on Wednesday.
