Despite the tense atmosphere heightened by security concerns following threats against stadiums hosting quarter-finals, the sell-out crowd witnessed a captivating contest, leaving the outcome delicately poised for the return leg.
Arsenal, buoyed by their impressive form this season, found themselves challenged by Bayern's resilience, setting the stage for an enthralling conclusion to the quarter-final battle in the Champions League.
