coach Thomas Tuchel praised Arsenal as one of the strongest in Europe, and said that Bayern must fall into the most difficult group in the Champions League.

“We are definitely in the most difficult bracket you can imagine,” Tuchel said on the Bayern homepage after the Champions League quarter-final draw on March 15. “We have to face one of the strongest teams in Europe. Arsenal have been playing consistently at the highest level for the past two years. They are a consistent, dangerous team, scoring a lot of goals. But we know what we are capable of.” and will be ready”.

According to the draw results , Bayern will be Arsenal’s guest in the first leg at Emirates Stadium on April 9 and then play the return leg at Allianz home stadium on April 16. “Gray Tigers” are at a disadvantage when home team fans are not allowed to attend the first leg. UEFA issued a one-match ban on their fans from the stadium for throwing flares onto the field in the match against Lazio in the 1/8 round earlier this month.

Bayern has beaten Arsenal in all four of the most recent Champions League knockout matches, including two 5-1 victories in the 1/8 round of the 2016-2017 season. Going further, the “Gray Tigers” won seven, drew two and lost only three when facing Arsenal in the Champions League.
