For the second consecutive year, Arsenal will have to score more than 2 goals at the Allianz Arena to continue their participation in the Champions League.

However, earlier this season, they were defeated by another English club - Manchester City, which is a proof that the Bavarians are not quite invincible at the Allianz Arena. Last year Arsenal lacked a bit of luck to eliminate Bayern, defeating them with 0:2.
