Gunners need 'miracle' in Munich
(03-12 19:18)

Arsenal must deal Bayern Munich its worst home loss in Champions League history to reach the quarterfinals.
Bayern won 3-1 in London and is the highest-scoring team in this season's Champions League, while Arsenal is one of the two teams with the worst defensive record, AP reports.
Bayern has only lost nine times in 82 Champions League home matches, and never by more than 2-0.
Arsenal forward Gervinho believes "a miracle'' is still possible.
Bayern will be missing stars Franck Ribery and Bastian Schweinsteiger but Jupp Heynckes' team is in such form that the coach gave his top players a day off after Saturday's harder than expected 3-2 Bundesliga win over Fortuna Duesseldorf.
Arsenal will be without key midfielder Jack Wilshere, who was ruled out for three weeks Tuesday with an ankle injury.
