by Bayern Munich will host Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-final second leg with the tie up after a 2-2 draw at the Emirates Stadium last week.
Hoping to get their home advantage right, Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka scored the winner in the 12th minute of the game before Serge Gnabry equalized six minutes later. Harry Kane marked London’s return with a goal from the penalty spot to put the German side ahead although Leandro Trossard ensured the tie remained on level terms with a second-half goal of his own.
Bayer Leverkusen won the Bundesliga title at the weekend, ending Bayern Munich’s run of 11 straight league titles meaning their focus has shifted entirely to Europe in their pursuit of silverware this season. Bayern are winless in the 2019/20 Champions League but are just three games away from the final at Wembley.
Meanwhile, a win for Arsenal tonight will see them reach their first top-flight European semi-final since 2008/09 back when Arsene Wenger was in charge.

Arsenal ready to ‘write a different story’ in the Champions League, says Mikel Arteta
15:45 , Harry Latham-Coyle
Mikel Arteta believes Champions League quarter-final success against Bayern Munich will take Arsenal to the next level as he tells his players to “write another story” at the Allianz Arena.
The Gunners head into Wednesday’s second leg locked at 2-2 with Thomas Tuchel’s Bayern after a thrilling draw at the Emirates Stadium last week.
Defeat at Aston Villa on Sunday ended Arsenal’s bid for the Premier League title and the focus is now back on Europe.
Arsenal lost seven last-16 games in a row before returning to the Champions League this season – three times against Bayern.
Arteta, however, feels that Arsenal would step up to a semi-final against either holders Manchester City or record 14-time winners Real Madrid.

Bayern vs Arsenal tips: Champions League predictions and football betting odds
15:30 , Jamie Braidwood
A season that has held so much promise for Arsenal now hangs in the balance as they prepare to travel to Bayern Munich on Wednesday for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final (8pm, TNT Sports 2).
The two sides played out an entertaining 2-2 draw at the Emirates Stadium a week ago, a result that left both sides unhappy due to controversial missed penalty calls.
After the draw, football betting sites see Bayern with the advantage in the final and are favorites to qualify for the semi-finals for the first time in four years.
The Gunners followed up Bayern’s draw with a devastating 2-0 win at home to Aston Villa, a result that could have serious consequences for their Premier League title aspirations as they slipped two points behind leaders Manchester City.
Bayern Munich’s own championship aspirations were officially ended at the weekend as Bayer Leverkusen were crowned Bundesliga champions. That leaves the Champions League as their only target left in their bid to avoid a first trophyless season in 12 years.
Europe may also be Arsenal’s best hope for silverware and the stakes could not be higher for Wednesday’s clash at the Allianz Arena.

Arsenal face Bayern Munich in the Champions League with a bid to reach the semi-finals for the first time since the 2008-09 season.
In last week’s first game at the Emirates, the two sides played out a controversial 2-2 draw and both north London clubs left guilty of not being awarded penalties.
Former Tottenham striker Harry Kane continued his impressive form against the Gunners, whose title hopes were a guess at the weekend when they were beaten 2-0 at home to Aston Villa.
Bayer Leverkusen won the Bundesliga title at the weekend, ending Bayern Munich’s run of 11 straight league titles. They will go into the Champions League knowing that the record has been broken, but that could mean their focus shifts to Europe, and a title they haven’t won since the 2019-2020 season.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
