Recent H2H results

Arsenal’s 3-1 win on 26 November 2025 represents their best result in recent memory against Bayern. The April 2024 quarter-final was decided over two legs, with Bayern prevailing 3-2 on aggregate despite Arsenal’s strong home performance in the first leg (UEFA aggregate records). The 5-1 defeats in 2017 remain among the heaviest losses Arsenal have suffered in this fixture.

Standings impact

Both clubs continue competing in the Champions League league phase, with Arsenal holding a position in the upper half of the table. The November 2025 victory has improved Arsenal’s goal difference and provided momentum heading into the remainder of the league stage. Bayern, despite the loss, remains among the competition favorites given their six European titles.

The all-time record tells a clear story: Bayern Munich has dominated this Champions League fixture for more than two decades, winning nearly twice as many matches as Arsenal and scoring significantly more goals. The 3-1 Arsenal victory in November 2025 represents the most encouraging result in recent memory for the north London club, but it is one data point against a long-established pattern. For Arsenal, the path to closing this gap runs through consistent home performances and solving the specific challenge of playing at the Allianz Arena — where they have won only once in seven attempts.
