Arsene Wenger’s side have exited the competition at the Round of 16 stage in each of the last six seasons and they’ll be favoured to do so again as they come up against the German giants.

It led to a light-hearted exchange between the two clubs on social media as Arsenal tweeted: “We’ll play @FCBayern (AGAIN!) in the last 16 of the @ChampionsLeague.”

To which Bayern Munich responded “Hello again!” along with a GIF of the actor Bill Murray in Groundhog Day.

Man City v Monaco

Real Madrid v Napoli

Benfica v Borussia Dortmund

Bayern Munich v Arsenal
