Two of the best teams in the world headline the biggest fixture of Wednesday’s Champions League action, as Bayern Munich host Arsenal in a game that could potentially be a preview of this season’s final.

It’s been a relatively modest start of the campaign for Bayern Munich, who have drawn two of their last three in all competitions, including an unexpected stumble when they settled for a 3–3 draw against Norwegian outfit Viking last time out in Europe. Still, they remain the only team in Europe’s top five leagues yet to lose a game this season.

That undefeated record will be firmly put to the test when Arsenal come to town. Mikel Arteta’s men have won all but one game they’ve played so far this term and have won a staggering 14 consecutive Champions League league phase matches, including a 3-1 home victory against Bayern a season ago.

Arsenal’s 14-game winning streak is the second best ever in the opening round of the Champions League, second only to the 17-straight wins Bayern secured between 2020–23. On Wednesday, the Gunners will be eager to continue their historic run against at one of the most hostile grounds in Europe.
