Hilarious pundit and Champions League trophy lookalike Gary Lineker always likes to put his unbiased comment in on anything Arsenal, and said:
That’s what you get for winning your group @Arsenal . A nice easy tie with @FCBayernEN

The games will take place on the 14/1th of February (Munich away) and the home leg on the 14/15th of March, meanwhile Gary will be pleased that Spurs will be watching EastEnders as usual at this time of year – however, they’ll soon miss the Thursday night episodes, with just 128 games standing in the way of them and a Europa League final.
