There was a time not so long ago when the prospect of facing Bayern Munich would have left Arsenal paralysed with fear.
On four occasions between 2013 and 2017, the Germans made cannon fodder of the Gunners at the Champions League last-16 stage with the results becoming gradually more awkward.
The last three meetings between the two sides have ended in 5-1 Bayern wins, the gulf in class between the genuine European heavyweight and the Premier League's perennial also-rans plain to see.
No more. As Arsenal and Bayern resume their rivalry on Tuesday night, this time in the quarter-finals, the tables have been turned.
