Arsenal fans convinced of “huge” advantage in Champions League quarter-finals
Associated PressArsenal fans have taken to social media to share what they believe is a possible “huge” advantage in their Champions League quarter-final clash with Bayern Munich – with the Bundesliga side unable to have away fans at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners, who qualified for the final eight of the Champions League for the first time in 14 years, were drawn against the Bundesliga side for the next round of the competition.
Bayern have beaten Arsenal 5-1 in their last three consecutive matches, with many fans of Mikel Arteta’s side desperate to avoid the German team once again.
There is more added spice ahead of kick-off given that former Tottenham duo, Harry Kane and Eric Dier, both now play for Bayern.
But Arsenal fans are convinced that they hold a crucial advantage in the first-leg of their quarter-final clash.
