Champions League glory is on the line for Arsenal and Bayern Munich as they clash once more on Wednesday.
A four-goal thriller saw Arsenal come from behind to snatch a first-leg draw against Bayern Munich last week, but one of this season’s quarterfinal contenders will exit the running on Wednesday. Just two spots remain in the competition’s last four, with Mikel Arteta hoping to overcome recent disappointment in the Premier League title race by ending Die Roten’s hopes for silverware this season altogether. Bayern has already lost the Bundesliga crown to Bayer Leverkusen and is viewing the Champions League as its last remaining hope for a trophy this term, but a capable Gunners collective could hold the keys at the Allianz Arena.

Arteta’s side will need to show more than they have done over the past week or so for that to be the case, however, having gone two games in a row without a win for the first time in 2024.
Former Tottenham Hotspur captain Harry Kane came back to haunt his former north London rivals —not to mention the team that rejected him as a child—by giving Bayern the go-ahead goal last week.
However, substitute Leandro Trossard was on hand to pull the Gunners level going into the reverse fixture, hoping to finally create some happy memories at the Allianz Arena.
Arsenal’s last two trips to Bavaria have each ended 5-1 in Bayern’s favor, with the English outfit’s last win at the Allianz coming all the way back in March 2013.
To make matters worse for Arsenal, the club followed up with more home disappointment over the weekend and lost 2-0 against Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium.
Arteta & Co. haven’t conceded a goal in each of their last three away trips, though it is a concern Arsenal’s last European road fixture ended in a 1-0 defeat to Porto during the round of 16.
Serge Gnabry scored in the first leg but won’t be available due to injury, joining fellow crocked winger Kingsley Coman and the suspended Alphonso Davies.
Arsenal, on the other hand, boasts close to a fully clean bill of health, with long-term absentee Jurrien Timber the only known missing man as things stand.
Regional restrictions may apply.
