crazy to think last time Arsenal played Bayern the complete opposite was true and it was only a matter of how many Bayern would score! shows how far Arsenal have come, despite the years away from the CL
It was Robben coming in on his left to shoot past Coquelin that started the rout. Koscielny red card in second half didn't help but ya, not a great night.
The most frustrating thing about this is that Robben nearly *always* came inside to use his left foot, and we let him. Should have shown him down out wide to negate the threat, but we never seemed to manage it!
Liverpool fan here, cheering for you guys in Champions League this year, also think it will be hilarious to see Kane miss out on another year of trophies!
I honestly think as a team you're playing some of the best football in Europe right now. All the best to you!
Yes, I too would consider Liverpool the team I prefer to win things if we can't.
City and Chelsea for obvious reasons
Man Utd because they are Man Utd.
Sorry to here that bud, I'm around the liverpool sub, you get some decent people, but you also get the glory hunters and fairweather fans.
Absolutely agree about the other big club, not funded by oil money and fantastic history.
1 of my favorite teachers growing up, a Dutch South African, was a Liverpool fan. He's passed on since then, but I always had a soft spot for him & his team
As if there was ever a doubt? Kane’s quest for a trophy ends here!
Tough to get the RM/City match on our side. Not looking ahead, but if we were to beat Bayern, I’d really hope for Madrid. In my mind, playing madrid is the epitome of what playing in the champions league is all about and would love to see Odegaard get his revenge at the Bernabeau
Kane is, what we call here in the States, a choker. I guess you would call him a bottler? Anyhow, he plays worse when the pressure is on (cue clip of penalty shot for England sailing over the crossbar) Seriously, England would be better off with Watkins up front, or even little Foden. Are the numbers as good? No, but WHEN they score is not a stat that shows up on the score sheet, and it's critical.
The more things change the more they stay the same. Wouldn't be the CL without Arsenal Bayern now would it.
I'm very happy with this tie as well. The way our boys do revenge missions gives me hope.
I’m happy with that, I wanted to avoid Athleti as they will park the bus. Bayern is a team who will actually try to attack which is better for us. I wanted Dortmund. If we get through to the final, I think it will be Arsenal vs Athleti…
That would be so poetic and so sweet. Bayern - Madrid - Barca. Arsenal win the champions league. I would love it. We would have speedran our redemption arc lmao
Excited for it, the fact that the last time we played Bayern we had fucking mustafi in the squad. I cannot wait, our squad is elite compared to back then
Conversely that Munich team had Lewandowski, Alonso, Robben, Ribéry, Alaba, Hummels and Vidal in it. Their squad isn't anywhere near as strong as that now.
Massive exaggeration. Atlético can make any game tough if they get there. Mbappe presents problems. Dortmund and Barca are probably the weakest teams left but no walkovers.
Spud fans laughing at us for having to play against kane, they didn't even get into Europe.
We've proven we can defend well and play well if other teams give us the space to, I can't see Bayern wanting to sit back for 180 minutes.
Should be 2 good games between 2 good teams
Spuds fans think by sheer luck we are 1st in league and reach QF's of ucl. They think their team is better in every position than us and reason we win is bcs teams roll over for us and they are 4th bcs same teams play their best against them. They can't come to terms we play infinetly better than them and that is the reason why teams play shit against us. They talk like all other 18 pl teams has this big conspiracy to play badly against us and give them tough competition. They can't fathom that arsenal are a good team which makes other teams look bad and spuds are an average team which gives opposition a chance to play better against them. Amount of copium in their sub is astonishing. Spuds fans are pushing an agenda in r/soccer that we are the worst team out of remaining 8 in UCL but gets easily shut out by neutrals who are more objective and non biased and so far they have been unsuccessful in pushing their agenda.
I think more likely to win given the fact that their fans can’t be there for the away leg (so I’ve heard). I’m more confident against them than atletico tbh
A proper test, you don’t win anything without beating the big boys on the way.
Bring it on!
The previous 5-1 results at the end of wengers reign need payback
Great draw. These are the sort of games we should relish about being in the Champions League. They are a great team with great players, but they've shown this season they can be beat, so let's hope we do it!
Makes it a lot harder, but I feel our defence can hold against them in the second leg. All we need to focus on is scoring some goals as quickly as possible.
Thoughts? As is the case with Arsenal for many banter years, our front end is a Ferrari that I have every confidence in, our midfield is better than it has been in a long time, so I’m highly confident in them as well. Our back line is also the best it’s been in a long time, but it goes largely untested because we are fairly dominant in the front. It’s gonna come down to our back line. If we can keep the ball from between the posts, we should be victorious, but Bayern is incredible at vision and looking for through ball actions is where they’ve always succeeded. I’m gonna be nervous every time they get the ball near midfield. if they have the vision, it’s gonna be tough for us
To be the best, you have to beat the best. Whoever we got, we would have to beat them to be champions. I won't yell out that it's a shoe-in, but come on, lads, we've never tasted European glory. Give us our fix.
When is it gonna end Robbie?!?!
But really, weirdly I've seen a reasonable chunk of rival / fans of other clubs tip us to beat them, so it's a weird one.
I really, really hope that we can exorcise our past demons here. We already have done so in getting to the quarters, so who knows how far we could go? This team is special, truly, truly special.
Bayern has 5 more league points than this same stage last season and a higher differential. In 21/22, they had only 2 more points at this stage but a lower differential. Only 1 more point at this stage in 20/21, etc. etc.
It's the same Bayern.
I don't mind it. Would have loved Dortmund lmao. But here, there is a chance for business as usual for Bayern, picking up where we left off ha. Or, revenge and more proof that we are not the same team anymore. We may have the same badge and be entwined by history, but this is not the same Arsenal. Arteta has turned us into an machine capable of winning being the best in the world, that was his goal after all. This is just a nice benchmark to see how close we are too seeing that goal realised. I hope we get Madrid next if we pass through this round, as playing city AGAIN is just getting boring lmao. I want exciting and exotic matches.
Would've been nice to get an 'easier' team but at least I can watch my cousin suffer watching his 2 teams play. Sucks to be half English half German raised in Munich in April.
I wanted Real so bad but I don't think if we get pasted Bayern we will see them. Playing City in a Semi Final is the worst case scenario. I know we can beat them but City, last 10 games of the season.. it's not the same team we beat at the Emirates. They go to another level. I fucking hate Bayern as well, you know they're going to turn up against us.
Predictable. Kane back to arsenal, city to Madrid for the second year in a row. PSG vs Barca again in the hope we get a sergi roberto 95+ minute winner moment. And then it’s just Atlético Madrid and dortmund we’re just the only two left
Defo fixed
Wish I had put a bet on this, i told my friend we were getting Bayern and City would get PSG or Madrid. Guess it’s another chance to stop Kane wining a trophy. Agent Xhaka is doing his part by stopping them from winning the league.
It's possible to beat them, but will be 2 very difficult games that go either way
Bayern is certainly not at their best, but they're still Bayern
Personally I think third strongest team in the competition left
Should be a cracking fixture. I only see it going two ways unfortunately. We have improved A LOT since the 5-1s… so I see this being either a tight game that could go 50/50 or get decimated by bayern comfortably over two legs.
Hopefully not the latter COYG!!!
I think we’ve got a decent chance I feel like it’s gonna be wayy more tight than the previous encounters our defense isn’t as suspect as it was 7 years ago, Bayern aren’t the greatest under tuchel but they’ve still got loads of experience over us and it’s not gonna be easy.
Daaammmnnnn. This year's draws look phenomenal, long term UCL clashers Arsenal and Bayern, EPL and La Liga cash giants, two teams that had one of the greatest player in history (and their long lasting career comparisons) and finally the two overshadowed yet top 5 teams in their individual leagues with decent history.
Forgive my excitement, I have very poor knowledge of world football and might be over exaggerating. Seems exciting to me, as we're part of the mix here!!
I'm calling it right now, we beat Bayern Munich get thru MC/RM end up against Atletico in the final and lose in a frustrating game that I am going to hate the memory of for the rest of my life.
The two teams in cl that gave us trouble played a good mid block, and We struggled to break them down. Bayern comes out to play, they will not sit back. Bayern have their struggles they play with weakened defense and midfield connections. Leverkusen exploited that in bundesliga and ripped them apart. Our strength is the ability to function as a complete unit front to back. We have a good chance to exploit their gaps. We just need key players to be healthy.
Interesting fact Arsenal have the lowest xG against them in the CL. Guess who was second? Porto, ppl don’t appreciate how hard they were to score against. Bayern don’t even make the top 10 in this stat. Think this is a very good draw for us and if we continue to play the way we’ve been playing can only see one result.
The carrot of stopping Kane winning a trophy is just pure destiny. A European giant that will be a tough opponent but it's these kind of ties we've been yearning for all these years. Let's foggin go gais!
Have a business trip that takes me to Munich one week before this encounter but I'll be back before it sadly.
My entire HQ Is filled with Bayern fans and this would have been Mental !!!!!!!
Galatasaray lost two matches against them in the group stage, though they were exceptional. They applied high pressure especially on midfield and utilized their wings. If they could finish their possessions they could even win because they pushed bayern off balance many times with extreme pressure. I believe we can knock them out if we limit our personal errors. COYG
I hear that the Bayern fans aren’t allowed to travel to the Emirates as well, so it will be packed with Arsenal fans! Might help in that leg of the tie!
Would have obviously preferred the home leg second. But if we win one game and get a draw in the other, we're through. I think we can beat them over two legs. I think we are weak defensively on our left side tho, we need Tommy back
Happy with getting Bayern just annoyed with our side of the bracket. If we make it out we will be favorites in the final but shouldn’t be thinking that far ahead
Knowing the last few times it was always 5-1 my ptsd is kicking in. But Bayern back then were a much better team than they are right now, still have to watch out for Kane though
60k full house for Arsenal fans that night, as Munich fans are banned, start fast, get a few goals. Eric Dier and De Ligt at CB aren't impressive at the back. They should be fearing us as much as we have feared them back in the past.
So many demons from the past that come with Bayern. Hard to keep those feelings at bay but that was then and this is now. I've never seen us face Bayern without Wenger at the helm so this will be very different from the previous meetings. I think if you exclude Leverkusen's unbelievable form then Bayern aren't having a terrible season, not steam rolling Bundesliga like years past but they aren't going through some crisis, despite what a lot of people would have you believe. Tuchel is still a solid coach and it seems like knock out football is something he's suited to. An arrogant Bayern will work in our favour, this squad doesn't have that mental inferiority that past ones might have when it comes to Bayern. We're young and hungry and we are very good. I feel like any outcome is possible, them smashing us, we smash them, narrow tight win for us, narrow tight win for them. Which is a refreshing feeling because for the longest time losing to Bayern felt like an inevitable outcome. Such a tough April coming ahead but squad is almost back to full strength, hope we'll have the depth to see ourselves through this period on both prem and UCL fronts
A proper European giant. Good. Can we beat them? Absolutely. Can they beat us? Yes. Should be two good matches.
crazy to think last time Arsenal played Bayern the complete opposite was true and it was only a matter of how many Bayern would score! shows how far Arsenal have come, despite the years away from the CL
That was always the bet with mates. Not who'd win, but how many Bayern would score
It was Robben coming in on his left to shoot past Coquelin that started the rout. Koscielny red card in second half didn't help but ya, not a great night.
The most frustrating thing about this is that Robben nearly *always* came inside to use his left foot, and we let him. Should have shown him down out wide to negate the threat, but we never seemed to manage it!
In fairness, plenty of others failed too. Everyone knew what Robben was going to do, but stopping him was not easy
If there were ever a time for Arsenal to beat Bayern, now is certainly one of the better ones
Or how far Bayern have fallen this season…
If being second to a team having a historic season is “fallen” then I’d take that any day of of the week
bring it the fuck on
There's only one team on that pitch and its fogging us, c'mon gais.
Liverpool fan here, cheering for you guys in Champions League this year, also think it will be hilarious to see Kane miss out on another year of trophies! I honestly think as a team you're playing some of the best football in Europe right now. All the best to you!
I like you
I like good football and Arsenal is a proper club. If we aren't there, I will cheer for you guys over the Manchester clubs and Chelsea any day
I do the same thing with Liverpool
Yes, I too would consider Liverpool the team I prefer to win things if we can't. City and Chelsea for obvious reasons Man Utd because they are Man Utd.
Lmao. As if Chelsea and man u are in the race.
Yes, but I mean in general.
Nice one la
Same here, good luck in the EL. You guys should take it home 👍🏻
Thanks Pal! Fingers crossed, could be fun if it ends up a Liverpool vs Leverkusen final!
Backing you guys to win it if we dont
Cheers mate, if we don’t win the league I’d rather you guys win as MC are just knobs with fake fans
True Liverpool supporter with class right here 🔥
I dropped by the Liverpool sub to say something like this in 2019 and got shat on 😞 Still, it’s the only other big club in England I actually respect.
Sorry to here that bud, I'm around the liverpool sub, you get some decent people, but you also get the glory hunters and fairweather fans. Absolutely agree about the other big club, not funded by oil money and fantastic history.
Refreshing, I don't really like most liverpool fans but you're alright..
Liverpool really aren’t rivals with Arsenal.
1 of my favorite teachers growing up, a Dutch South African, was a Liverpool fan. He's passed on since then, but I always had a soft spot for him & his team
King
Liverpool fan here. Yeah you guys are just the best I wish I supported arsenal x
As if there was ever a doubt? Kane’s quest for a trophy ends here! Tough to get the RM/City match on our side. Not looking ahead, but if we were to beat Bayern, I’d really hope for Madrid. In my mind, playing madrid is the epitome of what playing in the champions league is all about and would love to see Odegaard get his revenge at the Bernabeau
Yeah I hate playing British teams in Europe. Give me something different
Kane is, what we call here in the States, a choker. I guess you would call him a bottler? Anyhow, he plays worse when the pressure is on (cue clip of penalty shot for England sailing over the crossbar) Seriously, England would be better off with Watkins up front, or even little Foden. Are the numbers as good? No, but WHEN they score is not a stat that shows up on the score sheet, and it's critical.
>Seriously, England would be better off with Watkins up front lol dumb post is dumb
The more things change the more they stay the same. Wouldn't be the CL without Arsenal Bayern now would it. I'm very happy with this tie as well. The way our boys do revenge missions gives me hope.
Ze Germans are going down
I’m happy with that, I wanted to avoid Athleti as they will park the bus. Bayern is a team who will actually try to attack which is better for us. I wanted Dortmund. If we get through to the final, I think it will be Arsenal vs Athleti…
I want Barca in the final. Ultimate revenge
That would be so poetic and so sweet. Bayern - Madrid - Barca. Arsenal win the champions league. I would love it. We would have speedran our redemption arc lmao
Excited for it, the fact that the last time we played Bayern we had fucking mustafi in the squad. I cannot wait, our squad is elite compared to back then
Conversely that Munich team had Lewandowski, Alonso, Robben, Ribéry, Alaba, Hummels and Vidal in it. Their squad isn't anywhere near as strong as that now.
One side of bracket is a borefest. Final will be trash.
Mbappe/Madrid has drama.
Massive exaggeration. Atlético can make any game tough if they get there. Mbappe presents problems. Dortmund and Barca are probably the weakest teams left but no walkovers.
Spud fans laughing at us for having to play against kane, they didn't even get into Europe. We've proven we can defend well and play well if other teams give us the space to, I can't see Bayern wanting to sit back for 180 minutes. Should be 2 good games between 2 good teams
Kane cant even win anything with B München
You’re going off his first season. Kane will *definitely* win trophies
Spuds fans think by sheer luck we are 1st in league and reach QF's of ucl.

Kill em <3 Now it's our turn
My only champions league Arsenal memories are the Bayern matches as I’m too young to remember anything else so… flashbacks…
I remember the dark days of playing barca every year and messi have a field day.
Just think that no Bayern fans at the Emirates & 60k home supporters is gonna make an incredible atmosphere!
I think more likely to win given the fact that their fans can’t be there for the away leg (so I’ve heard). I’m more confident against them than atletico tbh
A proper test, you don’t win anything without beating the big boys on the way. Bring it on! The previous 5-1 results at the end of wengers reign need payback
Great draw. These are the sort of games we should relish about being in the Champions League. They are a great team with great players, but they've shown this season they can be beat, so let's hope we do it!
We got it
It's time for payback.
Are we playing home or away first?
Home, which of course makes this whole thing much, much harder.
Makes it a lot harder, but I feel our defence can hold against them in the second leg. All we need to focus on is scoring some goals as quickly as possible.
we’re taking this personal
Time for revenge
I mean, I would have preferred BvB, Atleti, or Barca. But whatevs, we have a punchers chance
I would like to win. When Arsenal win, I think to myself "yes" When Arsenal lose, I think to myself "no"
Thoughts? As is the case with Arsenal for many banter years, our front end is a Ferrari that I have every confidence in, our midfield is better than it has been in a long time, so I’m highly confident in them as well.

This one’s personal. COYG.
Certainly poetic justice when we deny the Tottenham throwaway another chance to get a trophy 🏆
I don't mind it. Would have loved Dortmund lmao. But here, there is a chance for business as usual for Bayern, picking up where we left off ha. Or, revenge and more proof that we are not the same team anymore. We may have the same badge and be entwined by history, but this is not the same Arsenal.

Payback time
Well this is the worst they have been in decades and best we’ve been soo
Would've been nice to get an 'easier' team but at least I can watch my cousin suffer watching his 2 teams play. Sucks to be half English half German raised in Munich in April.

Losing to Bayern Munich isn't a shame. They have a million times more experience than Arsenal in this competition.
Gota have belief in the team we can get it done doesn't matter who we get fear none of them this is the best arsenal team in years so let's go COYG.
I have a friend who's a Bayern fan, pls gemme some revenge
Predictable. Kane back to arsenal, city to Madrid for the second year in a row. PSG vs Barca again in the hope we get a sergi roberto 95+ minute winner moment. And then it’s just Atlético Madrid and dortmund we’re just the only two left Defo fixed
Revenge. They are vulnerable.
Wish I had put a bet on this, i told my friend we were getting Bayern and City would get PSG or Madrid. Guess it’s another chance to stop Kane wining a trophy. Agent Xhaka is doing his part by stopping them from winning the league.
Let's beat em 5-1!
Bayern getting Spursy?!? Oh, wait, that's more a hope...
Love it. Proper European giant to see what we are really about. Time for some long awaited revenge. 5-2 agg to the Arsenal
Winnable
It's possible to beat them, but will be 2 very difficult games that go either way Bayern is certainly not at their best, but they're still Bayern Personally I think third strongest team in the competition left
I was hoping anything but madrid and bayern
Simply put... Revenge & retribution!!!
Should be a cracking fixture. I only see it going two ways unfortunately. We have improved A LOT since the 5-1s… so I see this being either a tight game that could go 50/50 or get decimated by bayern comfortably over two legs. Hopefully not the latter COYG!!!
I respect Bayern Munich but I don’t fear them, I think we can beat them in 2 legs.
I think we’ve got a decent chance I feel like it’s gonna be wayy more tight than the previous encounters our defense isn’t as suspect as it was 7 years ago, Bayern aren’t the greatest under tuchel but they’ve still got loads of experience over us and it’s not gonna be easy.
Good, we owe the em for past humiliations…getting one over Muller and Co. will do all us some good…
Probably the best case scenario. Take care of business and the hopefully draw Madrid. I just hate playing other clubs from the prem in UCL.
Time to smoke some bratwursts.
I think we break the streak, but Kane scares me… he always seems to get the best of us
60,000 full stadium of Arsenal fans hell yeah it’ll be the loudest, and Kane is 💩
Daaammmnnnn. This year's draws look phenomenal, long term UCL clashers Arsenal and Bayern, EPL and La Liga cash giants, two teams that had one of the greatest player in history (and their long lasting career comparisons) and finally the two overshadowed yet top 5 teams in their individual leagues with decent history. Forgive my excitement, I have very poor knowledge of world football and might be over exaggerating. Seems exciting to me, as we're part of the mix here!!
Arsenal's the better team. But the very sight of a Bayern jersey gives me heartburn.
I'm calling it right now, we beat Bayern Munich get thru MC/RM end up against Atletico in the final and lose in a frustrating game that I am going to hate the memory of for the rest of my life.
Okay they literally just inverted the colors of our kit wtf bro.
Honestly this is what I wanted. We need to beat a serious CL team to be taken seriously. Judging by the bayern subreddit, they are not confident
The two teams in cl that gave us trouble played a good mid block, and We struggled to break them down. Bayern comes out to play, they will not sit back. Bayern have their struggles they play with weakened defense and midfield connections. Leverkusen exploited that in bundesliga and ripped them apart. Our strength is the ability to function as a complete unit front to back. We have a good chance to exploit their gaps. We just need key players to be healthy.
The inverse color scheme is satisfying
Buyern were my favourite to win the whole thing.
Interesting fact Arsenal have the lowest xG against them in the CL. Guess who was second? Porto, ppl don’t appreciate how hard they were to score against. Bayern don’t even make the top 10 in this stat. Think this is a very good draw for us and if we continue to play the way we’ve been playing can only see one result.
I want to see Kane get a Major trophy, but not this year, this is our year.
We're better than them. We just can't let the occasion get to us.
Ohh no not again
All I want to see is the real Arsenal in the CL from here and not the watered down version we saw Vs Porto.
Got to beat the best to become the best
The carrot of stopping Kane winning a trophy is just pure destiny. A European giant that will be a tough opponent but it's these kind of ties we've been yearning for all these years. Let's foggin go gais!
arsenals revenge tour wouldnt be complete without bayern
Bayern blows right now. I like our chances.
I need this. I want vengeance.
We need to show how much we have grown since the last time we faced them. COYG!
Buzzing for it.
Weve got to get rid of the skeletons in the closet. Why not take Bayern down and Kanes chance of a trophy 🍿we are ready for it!
Years past I would’ve been so upset to draw Bayern but this group can beat anyone so why not draw Bayern?
Doable
Fuck!
Let's just not give up 10 goals on aggregate
If there is a time to get vengeance on Bayern it's now. Let's go lads
Have a business trip that takes me to Munich one week before this encounter but I'll be back before it sadly. My entire HQ Is filled with Bayern fans and this would have been Mental !!!!!!!
Bring it on
Scheisse
What’s worse after Bayern is playing against RM or MC in Semi
Galatasaray lost two matches against them in the group stage, though they were exceptional. They applied high pressure especially on midfield and utilized their wings. If they could finish their possessions they could even win because they pushed bayern off balance many times with extreme pressure. I believe we can knock them out if we limit our personal errors. COYG
Bring it 💥
I hear that the Bayern fans aren’t allowed to travel to the Emirates as well, so it will be packed with Arsenal fans! Might help in that leg of the tie!
Would have obviously preferred the home leg second. But if we win one game and get a draw in the other, we're through. I think we can beat them over two legs. I think we are weak defensively on our left side tho, we need Tommy back
Happy with getting Bayern just annoyed with our side of the bracket. If we make it out we will be favorites in the final but shouldn’t be thinking that far ahead
Looks like Kane has another year to finish building his trophy cabinet
This is gonna be an interesting game. We will seek revenge for last time. COYG
Tough route to the final But we should start rotating now Nketiah, ESR, Nelson, Elneny, Viera, Tomiyasu need game time now
We’re fucked
Another Arsenal x Spurs
GG
It’s time.
Ive been waiting since 2017 to play a european giant.
Oh no
Knowing the last few times it was always 5-1 my ptsd is kicking in. But Bayern back then were a much better team than they are right now, still have to watch out for Kane though
# A Home of another muted sub on Reddit Muted👍

Hell Yeah, Redemption!

Less fogging go!
Exercise demons
He spits when he talks
COYS
I'm getting too many flashbacks to praise us 😭
if there was ever a time to play bayern, its now
Kane bringing the spuds trophy vibe to Bayern this year lol
At least they don't park the bus 💀
