It just had to happen.
Arsenal finally finished top of their Champions League group…and were rewarded with a last-16 tie against old foe Bayern Munich.
It’s the third time in the last five seasons that the two teams have met at this stage and there was plenty of amusing reaction to the draw.
Here’s how the two teams reacted…

The problem with Arsenal is that even if they knockout Bayern they will be given Barca in the Semis #UCLdraw

It’s cool how UEFA builds an entire tournament every year around an Arsenal-Bayern matchup in February.

“Arsenal restored some pride but were ultimately unable to overturn the first-leg deficit…”

Only Wenger could win the group & still draw Bayern Munich. Unbelievable. #afc
