Europe’s top club competition is in its final phase and the pairs of “8” of the Champions League pit the best teams of this season against each other.
THE Arsenal returned to the quarterfinals and will be called upon to disqualify her Bayern Municha team that has always been its worst rival.
Against Thomas Tuchel’s side, the Gunners have recorded their worst results in their history and three defeats by the same scoreline represent the English’s darkest days in the competition.
In the 2015/2016 season, Bayern welcomed Arsenal and the Germans, with Pep Guardiola on the bench, won 5-1. The following year, again in the Champions League, the two teams were drawn and the results of the two matches were the same as those of their last meeting.
The Bavarians cruised through to the next stage, with an aggregate score of 10-2, winning in “Allianz Arena” and “Emirates» with 5-1.
4 – Arsenal’s heaviest defeats in their history in European competition (all in the UEFA Champions League):
0-4 v Milan in 2011-12
1-5 v Bayern in 2015-16
1-5 v Bayern in 2016-17 (1st leg)

These conditions do not favor his team Mikel Arteta and although Bayern is in a transition period they are always a formidable opponent. Arsenal will be asked to overcome the heavy defeats of the past in order to return to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
On the other hand, for the Germans, this event can work beneficially and save the year, since the championship looks like it will go to Bayer Leverkusen after many years.
