They&#8217;re next out against Bayern Munich, and their Champions League quarter-final tie is finely poised. The opening leg in North London ended 2-2 with Leandro Trossard&#8217;s equaliser after Serge Gnabry and Harry Kane overturned Bukayo Saka&#8217;s opener, ensuring no side holds the advantage.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The players are frustrated and sad,&#8221; the Arsenal manager added. &#8220;But we have a \u00adbeautiful opportunity that hasn\u2019t happened for this club for 14 years to go to the semi-finals of the Champions League. It cannot come at a better moment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>History, though, is against the English team. They&#8217;ve lost on each of their previous three matches on German soil in the Champions League, including back-to-back 5-1 defeats to Bayern, who have only failed to progress from one of their previous 18 two-legged ties when avoiding defeat in the first leg \u2013 versus Liverpool in the round of 16 in 2018-19 (0-0 in the first leg, lost 1-3 in the second leg at the Allianz Arena).<\/p>\n<p>The opportunity Arteta speaks of is highlighted in the fact Bayern are looking to qualify for the semi-finals of the Champions League for the 13th time, while Arsenal aim to do so for just the third time.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football betting tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has called on his players to seize a &#8220;\u00adbeautiful opportunity&#8221; when they visit Bayern Munich on Wednesday evening.
