Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is eagerly anticipating his team's Champions League tie with Bayern Munich.

The Gunners will take on the German champions at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night for the first leg.

Arteta knows the fans will be up for the game, given it is the club's first quarter final in the competition for many years.

He said in his pre-match press conference: “A lot of passion, emotion and we haven't had this opportunity for 15 years, so that tells you how special this night is going to be for us so we're going to have to put everything into every ball to make it happen."

“We're really enjoying the moment, this is where we want to be," he then added.

“We're in a really good position in the Premier League and we're in a really good position in the Champions League.

“We have a big task ahead of us against one of the most successful teams in Europe and that's the hurdle we have to overcome, and we are looking forward to it.

“We are in a good moment and winning and performing the way we're doing it always helps. It brings a really good spirit and just be focused on the next match. Tomorrow is a big task but we're really looking forward to it."
