Arsenal vs Bayern Munich Live Stream: Watch Champions League Online
By Josh Sippie
Arsenal’s Champions League quest takes them through a familiar pit stop at the Allianz Arena. Here are all the ways to watch the Gunners take on Bayern Munich.
It just wouldn’t be a Champions League season if Arsenal didn’t drop in to face Bayern Munich. The two have been meeting regularly since 2013 and they have actually brought forth some entertaining affairs.

Bayern Munich may have taken the lions share of the points and advances, but there has been a glimmer of hope for the Gunners lately, as it was just last year that they thoroughly beat the German giants at the Emirates by a score of 2-0.
This time around, there is that same hanging cloud of confidence. Gooners are risking just enough to peep out a vote of confidence before ducking back behind the claims that there is no chance.
What it all comes down to is mentality. The Gunners have a serious mentality problem when it gets down to business time. What we saw against Chelsea was a downright paltry effort that made this strong Arsenal side look like boy scouts next to the Blues.
The same held true against Watford earlier in the week. Something about crunch time seems to get at the Gunners.

Solving this starts with employing the right starting XI, and it’s here that I draw my concerns. In all likelihood, Wenger will stick with the “winning formula” and send out Alexis, Walcott and Iwobi as the front three.
This is a terrible idea and should be forgotten immediately. What Wenger needs to do is send out confidence, hunger, and dedication in the form of Alexis, Giroud and Welbeck. All three of them either have something to prove, an abundance of confidence, or an insatiable desire to be the best.
That is a true winning formula.
Obviously the Gunners are going to have their hands full, mostly with Robert Lewandowski, and they’ll be calling on David Ospina to make the Polish striker look as foolish as he made Edinson Cavani look.
Which is no easy feat.
But Lewandowski can be stopped and it all starts with Mustafi and Koscielny, who could also use a bit of a lift.
As always, this figures to be an entertaining affair that is completely dependent on who Wenger sends out there.
So, without further ado, here are all the match facts and where to watch:
