Bayernvs.Arsenal

The former German champions and Premier League title-chasers did not disappoint in last week's first leg at the Emirates, shaking hands on a captivating 2-2 draw to leave the last-eight clash on a knife-edge.

Another clash of the titans awaits the victor of Wednesday's rematch, as either 14-time winners Real Madrid or defending champions Manchester City will be lying in wait for a semi-final battle.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 13

Bayern wins: 3

Draws: 3

Arsenal wins: 7

The 13th meeting between Bayern and Arsenal in North London last week was not unlucky for the souls fortunate enough to possess a ticket for the first leg, where every corner of the Emirates Stadium was clad in Gunners red due to visiting fans being suspended.

Some of the Bavarian faithful did their utmost to egg their team on with a firework display outside the ground, and the sparks flew on the pitch too, as Serge Gnabry and Harry Kane capitalised on pitiful Arsenal defending to turn the contest on its head after Bukayo Saka's opener.

However, some exceptional footwork from Gabriel Jesus inside the Bayern box preceded the Brazilian setting up super sub Leandro Trossard for a second-half leveller, marking the third draw between the two clubs and ending Arsenal's run of heavy losses to the German giants.

Indeed, Arsene Wenger had overseen a trio of successive 5-1 losses to rampant Bayern sides during the closing stages of his 22-year reign, leaving Arsenal without a win against Wednesday's hosts since a 2-0 group-stage triumph in North London in October 2015.

The distinguished Frenchman did oversee a 2-0 success in the second leg of Arsenal's 2012-13 last-16 affair, but the Gunners' praiseworthy efforts in Munich were inconsequential owing to a 3-1 first-leg loss, seeing Bayern advance courtesy of the abolished away goals rule before their famous trophy lift at Wembley.

That victory 11 years ago marks Arsenal's only win from six previous attempts on Bayern's territory - the German champions have prevailed in four of the other five and also have 29 goals to show from their 13 previous battles with the Gunners, who have in turn struck 15 times.

By coolly sending David Raya the wrong way from the penalty spot, Tottenham Hotspur's all-time leading scorer Kane brought up his 15th goal from 20 games against Arsenal, who are the Englishman's third-favourite opponent behind Leicester City (20) and Everton (16).

Kane's spot kick was also his sixth goal at the Emirates - more than any other visiting player - and history suggests that the Three Lions captain can continue to haunt his former team here, as Bayern have only been eliminated from one of their last 18 Champions League knockout contests when avoiding defeat in the first leg.
