Arsenal has been drawn against Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-final, setting up a highly anticipated clash. The Gunners will welcome former Tottenham striker Harry Kane back to North London for the first leg at the Emirates Stadium before facing a tough test away in Munich. However, Arsenal already holds a significant advantage for the first leg as Bayern Munich will not have any away fans at the Emirates.

This decision comes after Bayern received a one-match ban from UEFA due to fan trouble during their previous match against Lazio, where fireworks were thrown onto the pitch. The absence of away fans provides Arsenal with a chance to capitalize on their home advantage, potentially filling the Emirates Stadium with home supporters. Despite Bayern’s disappointment with the ban, they accepted the punishment, acknowledging the seriousness of the violation.

The first leg of the quarter-final is scheduled for either the ninth or tenth of April, with the second leg taking place a week later. Arsenal reached this stage after a tense last-16 shootout victory against Porto, marking their first quarter-final appearance since 2010. In other quarter-final matchups, Atletico Madrid will face Borussia Dortmund, while PSG will play against Barcelona.
