Bayern still progressed to the quarterfinal thanks to the away-goals rule andeventually went on the win the UCL title, but the BBC notes that that victory at the Allianz Arena was the beginning of Arsenal’s stunning turnaround. In 49 games before that meeting, Arsenalhad won 23, drew 14 and lost 12. Since that win, the Gunners have won 34, drawn eight and lost seven — a winning percentage of nearly 70 percent.
