Arsenal face Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals and the Gunners are looking to rewrite recent history.
Mikel Arteta’s side are struggling at the top of the Premier League this season, while Munich are suffering their worst domestic campaign in more than a decade.
Arsenal have been dominant defensively in recent weeks, and may need to be again if they are to have any hope of avoiding similar results to those against Bayern in recent years.
The Jugo Mobile takes a look at the history between the two teams and the results of their most recent meetings, ahead of their Champions League round of 16 encounter.
Head-to-head record between Arsenal and Bayern Munich
In the last three competitive matches between these two teams there has been exactly the same result: 5-1 against Bayern.
Arsenal’s first demolition of Bayern came in a Champions League group stage match during the 2015/16 season. The two teams then met in the round of 16 of the competition the following season, with Arsenal going down 10-2 on aggregate, losing 5-1 in each match.
Those results highlight Bayern’s historical superiority and underline how distant Arsenal previously were from Europe’s elite, particularly during the latter stages of Arsene Wenger’s tenure.
But that scoreline would seem almost impossible for Bayern to replicate this time around, especially given Arsenal’s organized defensive structure.
The Gunners have only conceded five goals in their eight Champions League games so far this season, and no team has allowed fewer scoring chances than the Gunners, conceding just eight big chances.
