The biggest Arsenal troll at the moment is whenever Premier League predictions are being made, the Gunners are written down for a fourth-placed finish. That, however, should be replaced by a new one: no matter what, Wenger’s boys will always draw Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
The draw for the round of 16 was held on Monday, and it awarded use some exciting fixtures. Fans of the north London giants, though, were not happy, as they team were paired against the Bundesliga champions once again.
Since Arsenal won their group, they travel to the Allianz Arena for the first leg. This will be their 4th trip there in four seasons. Furthermore, this will be the third time the German and English giants face off in the round of 16 in the last seven seasons.
Fans were quick to call the whole process rigged, a claim which was further fueled by the fact that Barcelona were paired against a familiar foe: PSG. Even Bayern Munich and some players couldn’t help but make fun of the draw.
