Defending champions Bayern Munich have booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League following a 1-1 draw with Arsenal in Tuesday's last 16, second-leg clash at the Allianz Arena.

The match was played against the backdrop of the court case against Bayern president Uli Hoeness, who is fighting to avoid a jail term and stands accused of having dodged 27.2 million euros in taxes by hiding his wealth in Swiss bank accounts.

According to Sport24, a second-half Bastian Schweinsteiger goal gave Bayern a brief lead before Arsenal's Lukas Podolski equalised with a thunderbolt of a shot as the tie finished 3-1 on aggregate

 

Amidst hopes of repeating last season's shock 2-0 win in Munich, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger made six changes from the team which lost to Bayern in London, while Bayern coach Pep Guardiola made three changes from the first leg, the report added.
