London, England – Arsenal and Bayern Munich will lock horns in a highly anticipated Champions League quarter-final showdown on April 10th at 12:45 AM Nepal Time. The first leg of this epic battle promises a thrilling display of skill, strategy, and the weight of history hanging in the balance.
Arsenal faces an uphill battle against German giants Bayern Munich. The Gunners have suffered three consecutive 5-1 thrashings at the hands of Bayern in the Champions League, their most significant margin of defeat in European competition.
Furthermore, Bayern holds a psychological edge, having eliminated Arsenal in the round of 16 during all four of their previous Champions League knockout stage encounters.
However, Bayern’s dominant away record against English clubs could be tested. They’ve lost only once in their last six Champions League visits to England, winning the other four with a commanding 15-3 aggregate score across encounters with Arsenal, Spurs, and Chelsea in London.
Arsenal’s return to the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time since 2009-10 is a remarkable feat in itself. They’ll need to defy history, as their record in this stage is less than stellar, having progressed in only two of their seven quarter-final appearances.
