Bayern Munich fans banned from Emirates stadium for Champions League clash with Arsenal

It's not good news for Bayern...

It comes amid the Champions League draw having been made.

Reigning champions Manchester City will be taking on Real Madrid as they continue their quest to defend their Champions League crown.

Meanwhile, Arsenal have been drawn against Bayern Munich. This will be the Gunners’ first Champions League quarter final appearance since 2010.

The other two ties will see Atletico Madrid face Borussia Dortmund and PSG will do battle with Barcelona.

But it wasn’t just the quarter finals that were decided, with the semi finals also being drawn.

The winner of Man City vs Real Madrid will clash with Arsenal or Bayern Munich in the first semi final, with the winners of PSG vs Barcelona and Atletico Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund facing off in the other last four tie.

So we could get an all-Premier League semi final between City and Arsenal, to go alongside the epic Premier League title race the pair are currently involved in along with Liverpool.

However, the Bayern v Arsenal quarter final will see the Gunners have a huge advantage, with Bayern fans set to be banned from Emirates stadium.

It comes after fans of the German side threw fireworks onto the pitch during their game against Lazio earlier this month, which they won 3-1.

Additionally, the team faced a fine of €40,000 after playing FC Copenhagen last year when they won 2-1 following fans' fireworks throwing.

The side were issued a suspended single match ban for fans being able to purchase tickets for away games after the incident at Lazio.

"We have to accept this punishment. Not only were pyrotechnics set off, but also fired deliberately onto the field, directly endangering bystanders," Jan-Christian Dreesen the club's CEO said, via Evening Standard.

"This was such an explicit violation of the conditions of probation that an appeal is unfortunately futile.

"The fact we now have to play away without the support of our fans is a big blow. A small group of individual offenders have done a disservice to all our supporters and the team.”

The first legs of the quarter finals will take place on April 9-10 with the return fixtures on April 16-17.

The semi finals are scheduled to take place on April 30 – May 1 and May 7-8.

The semi final winners will then take each other on in the final at Wembley on Saturday, June 1.
