UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - 2013/14 SEASON MATCH PRESS KITS (First leg: 2-0) Fußball Arena München - Munich Tuesday 11 March 2014 FC Bayern München 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Arsenal FC Round of 16, Second leg Last updated 17/01/2019 13:23CET UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE OFFICIAL SPONSORS Match background 2 Legend 4 1 FC Bayern München - Arsenal FC Tuesday 11 March 2014 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Fußball Arena München, Munich Match background Having once again established a two-goal cushion in the away leg, FC Bayern München will be looking to repeat last season's aggregate victory over Arsenal FC, although the five-time winners will be on their guard having lost to the Gunners in Munich 12 months ago. • Goals from Toni Kroos and Thomas Müller gave Bayern a first-leg victory in north London this time round meaning Arsenal must become only the third team to overturn a first-leg home defeat in the UEFA Champions League era. The Gunners have hope, however, having triumphed 2-0 at the Fußball Arena München in last season's round of 16 second leg, although they lost the tie on away goals. Previous meetings • In last season's round of 16, Bayern took the upper hand with a 3-1 first-leg win in London thanks to goals from Kroos (7), Müller (21) and Mario Mandžukić (77), Lukas Podolski (55) pulling one back against his former side. • Arsenal came close to wiping out that home defeat as Olivier Giroud and Laurent Koscielny scored in Munich, but bowed out on away goals as Bayern progressed to the quarter-finals for the fourth time in five seasons. • The lineups on 13 March 2013 at Fußball Arena München were: Bayern: Neuer, Alaba, Dante, Van Buyten, Lahm, Luiz Gustavo, Javi Martínez, Kroos (Tymoshchuk 81), Robben, T Müller, Mandžukić (Gomez 73). Arsenal: Fabiański, Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Walcott (Oxlade-Chamberlain 72), Arteta, Cazorla, Ramsey (Gervinho 72), Rosický, Giroud. • Bayern also beat Arsenal 3-2 on aggregate in the 2004/05 round of 16, winning 3-1 at home in the first leg, and beat the Gunners 1-0 in the 2000/01 second group stage. Match background • This is Bayern's sixth successive last-16 appearance; their 2011 reverse against FC Internazionale Milano, when they won 1-0 in Milan but lost 3-2 in Munich, is the sole defeat in that run. • The German champions won five of their six games in Group D to qualify in first place, losing at home to Manchester City FC on matchday six with their passage to the next stage already guaranteed. • That ended Bayern's ten-game UEFA Champions League winning run – a competition record that started following that second-leg defeat by Arsenal – and was only their third defeat in their last 24 home games in the competition with the other 21 games all ending in victory. • This is Bayern's third meeting with English opponents in 12 months; they also took on Chelsea FC in the UEFA Super Cup on 30 August in Prague, winning 5-4 on penalties after a 2-2 draw. Franck Ribéry and Javi Martínez got Bayern's goals. • They have lost their last two games at home to English sides, and not won in three fixtures, drawing 1-1 with Chelsea after extra time in the 2012 UEFA Champions League final before losing on penalties. Although this was played on their own ground, it was classed as a neutral venue. • Bayern's record at home to English teams is W10 D5 L3; overall it is W16 D14 L12. • Bayern lifted the European Champion Clubs' Cup with a 2-0 final triumph against Leeds United AFC in 1975, but have since lost finals to Aston Villa FC (0-1, 1982), Manchester United FC (1-2, 1999) and Chelsea (1-1, 3-4 pens, 2012). • As FC Barcelona coach, Guardiola's record against Arsenal was W2 D1 L1. His team lost 2-1 in north London in the 2010/11 round of 16 first leg but won the return 3-1. • Arsène Wenger's team, in the last 16 for the 14th successive year, have been eliminated in the round of 16 in each of the last three seasons, also losing 4-3 on aggregate to AC Milan in 2011/12. • The Gunners have won on three of their last five visits to Germany, with the other two ending in draws. The 1-0 victory at Borussia Dortmund on matchday four extended Arsenal's record away to Bundesliga sides to W5 D4 L5; overall it is W14 D5 L10. • In their other away games in group F, Arsenal beat Olympique de Marseille but lost at SSC Napoli on matchday six to finish as runners-up behind Dortmund. The defeat was only the second in the Gunners' last eight away games, qualifying included, with five victories. • Arsenal's last success at this stage came in 2010 when they recovered from a 2-1 defeat at FC Porto to win 5-0 in London. That was their third successive victory in the round of 16. 2 FC Bayern München - Arsenal FC Tuesday 11 March 2014 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Fußball Arena München, Munich • That 2010/11 Inter defeat is the only time in 23 UEFA competition ties that Bayern have lost overall having won the first leg away. Furthermore, Arsenal have never overturned a home first-leg defeat in European competition. They have lost only two such matches: against Bayern last season and VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach in the 1996/97 UEFA Cup first round, when they lost both legs 3-2. • Bayern's shoot-out record in UEFA club competition is: 5-4 v Chelsea FC, 2013 UEFA Super Cup 3-4 v Chelsea, 2011/12 UEFA Champions League final 3-1 v Real Madrid CF, 2011/12 UEFA Champions League semi-final 5-4 v Valencia CF, 2000/01 UEFA Champions League final 9-8 v PAOK FC, 1983/84 UEFA Cup second round 4-3 v Åtvidabergs FF, 1973/74 European Cup first round • Arsenal's shoot-out record is: 7-6 v AS Roma, 2008/09 UEFA Champions League round of 16 1-4 v Galatasaray AŞ, 1999/2000 UEFA Cup final 3-2 v UC Sampdoria, 1994/95 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup semi-final 4-5 v Valencia CF, 1979/80 European Cup Winners' Cup final Team ties • Podolski played for Bayern from 2006 until 2009, scoring 15 goals in 71 league games. Either side of that spell he spent a total of six years with 1. FC Köln and in ten games against Bayern was only once on the winning side. • Per Mertesacker scored SV Werder Bremen's goal in a 3-1 home defeat against Bayern on 29 January 2011. After Arjen Robben's equaliser, the defender's own goal put Bayern 2-1 in front. During five years in Bremen Mertesacker faced Bayern 16 times, winning only twice. • Mertesacker and Claudio Pizarro were team-mates at Bremen between 2008 and 2011, Mesut Özil joining them in 2008/09 and 2009/10. • Tomáš Rosický scored 20 goals in 149 Bundesliga games for Dortmund between 2001 and 2006, winning the title in 2001/02. • Mertesacker, Özil and Podolski are Germany team-mates with Manuel Neuer, Jérôme Boateng, Philipp Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Kroos, Müller and Mario Götze. • Robben scored in Chelsea's 2-0 win at Arsenal on 18 December 2005. In his three years at Stamford Bridge, Robben faced the Gunners on four occasions and never lost. • Ribéry plays for France alongside Bacary Sagna, Abou Diaby, Giroud, Koscielny and Mathieu Flamini. • Müller scored in Germany's 2-1 win in a Paris friendly against a France team who included Ribéry, Sagna, Koscielny and Giroud. Lahm, Podolski, Mertesacker, Özil and Kroos played for the visitors. • Giroud scored in France's 2-1 friendly win in Bremen on 29 February 2012 against a Germany team who included Boateng, Kroos, Özil, Müller and Manuel Neuer. Ribéry also played for the visitors. • Martínez and Thiago Alcántara are Spain team-mates of Santi Cazorla and Nacho Monreal. • Thomas Vermaelen and Daniel Van Buyten both play for Belgium. • Serge Gnabry was in VfB Stuttgart's youth team until 2011. 3 FC Bayern München - Arsenal FC Tuesday 11 March 2014 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Fußball Arena München, Munich Legend ALL-TIME STATISTICS The all-time record of the competing clubs in UEFA club competition.

Now Arsenal travel to Istanbul needing a win to have a chance of overtaking section leaders Borussia Dortmund. • In the reverse fixture on 1 October, a Danny Welbeck hat-trick helped Arsène Wenger celebrate his 18th anniversary as Arsenal manager with a 4-1 victory. Alexis Sánchez was also on target while Burak Yılmaz pulled one back from the penalty spot for Galatasaray following Wojciech Szczęsny's dismissal.

Further progress was made as they beat PSV Eindhoven 5-4 on aggregate, a 4-2 home win followed by a 2-1 defeat in Eindhoven that proved undamaging thanks to Egyptian international Ahmed Hassan's decisive 88th-minute strike.

They dominated Group L in the autumn before eliminating Malmö, Dynamo Kyiv, Slavia Praha and, on penalties, Eintracht Frankfurt to reach the final. • Arsenal arrive in Azerbaijan on a five-match winning run in the competition. They cruised through to the knockout phase from Group E, dropping just two points and qualifying with two games to spare, but they had a scare in both the round of 32 and round of 16 against BATE Borisov and Rennes respectively before winning home and away in both the quarter-final against Napoli and the semi-final against Valencia.

    Arsenal FC v FC Porto MATCH PRESS KIT Arsenal Stadium, London Tuesday, 26 September 2006 - 20:45CET Group G - Matchday 2 Arsenal FC's first group stage tie at their new north London home arrives with last season's runners-up having already banked three points from their opening fixture against Hamburger SV. Starting a UEFA Champions League campaign with an away match for the first time in five seasons proved no impediment to Arsène Wenger's side's ambitions of going one stage further this time around and they will be looking to add a second victory against FC Porto. Hamburg triumph • The Group G game at the Arena Hamburg two weeks ago proved a wonderful experience for former BV Borussia Dortmund midfielder Tomáš Rosický as he struck the decisive goal in stunning fashion on his return to Germany for a 2-1 victory. Now Wenger's team will be hoping for more of the same on their new stage - where they defeated NK Dinamo Zagreb 2-1 in qualifying - having waved goodbye to their Highbury home after 93 years, and 22 seasons of European football. Formidable record • After losing at home to Chelsea FC in the 2003/04 quarter-final second leg, Arsenal played ten matches at Highbury in the tournament without losing, winning seven and drawing three. • The Gunners have encountered Portuguese opposition once before in UEFA club competition and they will not recall it with any affection. They met SL Benfica in the second round of the European Champion Clubs' Cup in 1991/92, losing 3-1 after extra time at home in the second leg after a 1-1 draw in Lisbon.

Previous meetings • A full house witnessed an entertaining first leg as Malmö and Chelsea met in UEFA competition for the first time. Goals from Ross Barkley – his first in Europe – and Olivier Giroud – his fifth in four UEFA Europa League games – put the visitors in control before Anders Christiansen gave the home fans something to cheer with a fine late consolation strike. • Chelsea's two previous ties against opponents from Sweden came in the European Cup Winners' Cup when they were holders of the trophy.

    FC Barcelona v Arsenal FC MATCH PRESS KIT Stade de France, Paris Wednesday, 17 May 2006 - 20:45 CET Final - Matchday 13 So after 124 matches in the competition proper and 246 days, it has come down to FC Barcelona v Arsenal FC, the team that scored the most goals in the group stage against the most defensively-efficient team in their first six games. Few could argue that the 2005/06 UEFA Champions League has failed to produce the dream final most neutrals would have wished for. Appropriate venue • The setting, the Stade de France in Paris, is entirely appropriate. From north-east Spain comes a side blessed with an array of sublime talents but with one outstanding shining light – Ronaldinho, who previously played his football for Paris Saint-Germain FC. Challenging them from north London arrives a team boasting a French manager, bidding to become the first from his country to coach a team to European Champion Clubs' Cup glory, and a strong French influence including their captain and talisman, Thierry Henry, who was born on the outskirts of Paris. • Neither side has tasted defeat in their 12 matches in this season's campaign and both needed just one goal to make it through the semi-finals. Fifth final • For Barcelona this is their fifth European Cup final and they will be bidding to match their success in 1991/92 at Wembley Stadium - which Arsenal used for home matches in the 1998/99 and 1999/00 UEFA Champions League seasons - when they beat UC Sampdoria through Ronald Koeman's free-kick.
