Arsenal have been drawn against defending Champions League winners Bayern Munich in the knock out round of the Champions League. This is a very tough task for Arsenal and it just goes to show how important it was for us to finish top of the group and avoid such a tie.
But we are Arsenal and if anyone can beat Munich it is us. There is no point in already writing us off as we can win this tie. Here are what some fans have to say about the draw, what is your take?
the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE DRAW,shows that Platini is not happy with the EPL teams…bad one for Arsenal,though impossible is nothing.peace!

Obviously this is a tough draw but I guess if you want to be the best you have to be able to beat the best. We beat them at the Alianz…

We can beat anyone with this current squad…. But the problem is our poor strikers. To be fair we will be knocked out,if we survive it will be a miracle .
Drawing us with Bayern Munichen is not a big issue the issue is do we get past the opponent onto the next stage of the competition coz any club worthy of winning the Champions legue must face any opponent.However Wenger should atleast sign a good foward to partner with tiring Giroud if Bendtner is not creating feasible back up.
There’s no need for panic. Given that Arsenal narrowly missed out on topping group F which ought to have put them in a position to meet with a weaker team, they must now show proof that they’re no Bayern pushovers. Arsenal must now prove that we are capable of winning big and winning all. If previous lessons are anything to go by and the wise learn from them then, we should be wise this season and prevent our errors of last season by hitting the ground running on our home game and battling for draw or a win at Alianz Arena. We need belief to accomplish this feat. Easier said than done. But, this is the attitude with which we go into these games and come out victorious.
