FC Bayern will face Arsenal in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
It is now clear on which days the return leg will take place.
Update from March 16, 2024, 9:33 a.m.:
With Arsenal FC, FC Bayern will meet the current English league leaders in the round of the last eight of the premier class.
The “Gunners” are in a hard-fought championship race in the Premier League this season with Manchester City and Liverpool FC under coach Jürgen Klopp, who was recently spotted in lederhosen.
Arsenal FC is no longer the club from 2017, when Bayern made short work of the Londoners and won 5-1 on both legs in the round of 16.
Coach Mikel Arteta has now turned the “Gunners” into a real top club again.
