Champions League: Arsenal, AC Milan walk on tightrope

There is a dictum that says ''it is not over until it is over'', Could this be what Arsenal and their fans across the world banks on as the London club face German Champions Bayern Munich tonight at the Allianz Arena or would it be wrong for AC Milan to go to Spain dreaming of turning the table around against Athletico Madrid?

What Arsenal must do to be in the next phase (quarter final) of the Champions League this season is to overturn 2-0 deficit tonight which ordinarily is out-rightly impossible. The Gunners can take inspiration from their last season's experience when they defeated Bayern 2-0 at the Allianz Arena but the first leg loss 1-3 at home plotted their ouster.

Bayern just after their victory in London last month, they went ahead to beat Schake 6-1 and just over the weekend they also thrashed Wolfsburg 6-1. Going forward, one can say that this Bayern side go into this tie as the favourites with some of their players returning injury that can do the damage against Arsenal.

Arsenal on the other hand won over the weekend in the English F.A Cup 4-1 which seems to be the most realistic trophy they can clinch this season.

Athletico Madrid look forward to a place in the quater final of the champions league for the first time since 1997 when they play AC Milan on Tuesday as well in the second fixture on the night.

Diego Costa's late winner gave the Spaniards the advantage three weeks ago as they won 1-0 in Italy.

Most recent form, Athletico Madrid beat Celta Vigo at the weekend 2-0 while AC Milan slump again losing to Udinese by a lone goal. They also have contrasting fortunes back home at their domestic scenes which could influence why may witness something different in this tie.AC Milan have everything to play for as they risk not winning any title this season.

Time shall tell what tonight holds.
