Should the two Premier League sides win, they will go head-to-head in the semi-final.

Some fans are convinced the draw was rigged and labelled it a “fix”.

The Gunners finally broke their last-16 curse at the eighth time of asking as they edged Porto on penalties in the last round.

And they have been rewarded with a tie against Bayern as they attempt to get revenge on their 2017 embarrassment when they lost 10-2 on aggregate.

Fans of the German giants will be banned from the Emirates Stadium as they threw fireworks onto the pitch as they beat Lazio earlier this month.

Meanwhile, Manchester City breezed past Copenhagen 6-2 on aggregate in the previous round.

They have been handed the ultimate glamour tie against Real Madrid.

It is a repeat of last year’s semi-final as Pep Guardiola’s men beat them 5-1 on aggregate en route to winning the Champions League and the completion of their Treble.
