MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

Bayern Munich have progressed from two of the three European knockout ties in which they have recorded a 2-2 away draw in the first leg – against Aberdeen in the 2007-08 Uefa Cup third round (with a 5-1 win in the second leg) and Juventus in the 2015-16 Champions League last 16 (- with a 4-2 win after extra time in the second leg).

Bayern are level alongside Barcelona (both four) as the team to win the most European knockout ties against Arsenal. Real Madrid are the only team they have eliminated from more European knockout ties (five).

Bayern Munich

Bayern have been eliminated in the Champions League quarter-finals in each of the past three seasons: on away goals versus Paris St-Germain in 2020-21 (under Hansi Flick), 2-1 on aggregate versus Villarreal in 2021-22 (under Julian Nagelsmann) and 4-1 on aggregate versus Manchester City in 2022-23 (under Thomas Tuchel).

Bayern could be the second club to be eliminated in the Champions League quarter-finals in four consecutive seasons, after Paris St-Germain from 2012-13 to 2015-16.

Bayern have not progressed from a Champions League quarter-final since they defeated Barcelona 8-2 in Lisbon in 2019-20 (they went on to win the trophy that season).

Arsenal

Arsenal are winless in all eight Champions League away matches from the quarter-finals onwards (W0-D4-L4).

This is Arteta’s second European quarter-final as a manager, after Arsenal’s 5-1 aggregate win versus Slavia Prague in the 2020-21 Europa League.

Arsenal have progressed from just two of their six Champions League quarter-finals: 2-0 on aggregate versus Juventus in 2005-06 and 4-1 on aggregate versus Villarreal in 2008-09.
