The German giants have handed out a few memorable thrashings when facing Arsenal over the years, famously recording a 10-2 aggregate win over the Gunners back in 2016/17.
Now – however – Arsenal are a different animal, with Mikel Arteta turning the north Londoners into a real force, something Muller acknowledged when reacting to the draw as he sent a message to his £65m fellow countryman too.
The Germany international said in a video on Instagram: “Well, it’s Arsenal! Kai Havertz – my friend – I am waiting for you. No, it’s a nice draw, two very good teams, two very good stadiums, two very good cities. It will be tough, but I am always positive. See you Gunners.”
Bayern Munich reached the UEFA Champions League quarter-final after recording a 3-1 win over Lazio across two legs in the Round of 16, with Harry Kane netting two goals and Muller one.
