Jill Roord (centre) played for Arsenal between 2019 and 2021Arsenal were knocked out of the Women's Champions League at the quarter-final stage after being beaten 3-1 on aggregate by Wolfsburg to end British interest in the competition.
The Londoners had salvaged a 1-1 draw late in the first leg at the Emirates last week, but were undone by goals in each half from the Frauen-Bundesliga leaders.
Former Gunner Jill Roord scored the opener after just eight minutes, hooking in from close range after the visitors failed to clear a corner.
The home side - playing at the men's team's Volkswagen Arena - thought they had netted again when Tabea Wassmuth stroked in but after a long check by VAR, it was ruled out for offside.
They did get a fortuitous second on 72 minutes when defender Leah Williamson inadvertently converted into her own net from Sveindis Jane Jonsdottir's low cross.
Arsenal pushed to find a way back into the tie but Vivianne Miedema's towering header struck the crossbar, before Williamson's follow-up was brilliantly tipped onto the post by goalkeeper Almuth Schult.
Victory for two-time champions Wolfsburg sets up a tantalising semi-final against current holders Barcelona.
The Spanish champions progressed on Wednesday following an 8-3 aggregate win over rivals Real Madrid, a match played at the Nou Camp in front of a world record crowd of 91,553.
