Last chance saloon for Bayern
While the spotlight will predominantly be on Arsenal tonight, don't get it mistaken, it's a huge night for Bayern Munich too.
The Bavarians finally relinquished their stranglehold on the Bundesliga at the weekend after Bayer Leverkusen's 5-0 victory won them the title.
That means the Champions League is their final chance to win silverware this season. Imagine Bayern going trophyless?
The pressure is truly on them tonight, for a club of their magnitude to go a whole season without silverware is unthinkable, but this campaign it is more than likely.
There is so much at stake for both clubs tonight, it's simply brilliant, well, if you're neutral anyway.
Can Gunners defy the odds at the Allianz Arena?
Tonight feels huge for this Arsenal side.
After the deflation of their 2-0 home defeat to Aston Villa at the weekend, which gave the initiative to Manchester City in the title race, the pressure on them has ramped up to another level.
It's fair to say, the Gunners were miles from their best in the first leg, it looked the the enormity of the occasion got to them. They can't let that happen tonight.
Comparing both of the seasons that Arsenal and Bayern Munich have had respectively, Arsenal should be the favorites tonight.
However, their last two performances have thrown caution into the wind and it feels like Bayern are in the better position to progress tonight.
Even with all that though, this match is such a hard one to call, you can almost forget the first leg after it finished all square.
It all comes down to tonight, do Arsenal have the mettle?
Arsenal’s moment of truth
Nights like these are what football fans live for.
It will be an evening full of anticipation, nerves, euphoria, and maybe even misery – a cocktail of emotions that make the Champions League so special.
It’s crunch time for Arsenal. Tonight, they can make another gigantic step on their journey under Mikel Arteta and qualify for a Champions League semi-final.
In their way, Bayern Munich. They’ve been there before, many times, but do their current crop of players have what it takes to take down one of Europe’s current top sides?
Harry Kane will certainly want to have his say like he did in the first leg and Tottenham fans will certainly want him to destroy their bitter rivals’ dreams.
After typing all that, my excitement has ramped up two-fold. It’s time to get your seatbelts on, it's going to be a bumpy ride, especially if you're an Arsenal fan.
Let’s get cracking!
