Allianz Arena, Munich
📊 Match Insights
Last April was a tough month for Arsenal supporters, as the Gunners relinquished a strong lead in the Premier League standings, ultimately losing the title to Manchester City. This situation could be even more challenging for Mikel Arteta's squad. Arsenal unexpectedly suffered a 0-2 defeat at home to Aston Villa on Sunday, resulting in them losing their top spot and falling behind Manchester City once more in the title race.
The Gunners have a quick turnaround, with only three days to regroup before traveling to Munich to face the formidable Bayern in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. The first leg ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw, a result that left Bayern's supporters more satisfied as they prepare for the return match on their home turf.
Bayern Munich has faced its own difficulties in domestic competitions this season. Their long-standing dominance in the Bundesliga came to an end over the weekend, as Bayer Leverkusen clinched their first league title with a resounding 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen at BayArena. Additionally, Bayern experienced a humiliating exit from the DFB Pokal at the hands of a lower-division team, leaving the Champions League as their only opportunity to salvage the season.
