Following the recently-concluded Champions League group stage draw, Bayern Munich remain confident that they would be able to cruise past the knockout stage this season.
The Bavarian giants are included in the Group F together with Arsenal, Olympiakos and Dynamo Zagreb.
The Bundesliga champions have dumped the Gunners out of the European tournament twice in the last three years and once again the two clubs will be facing each other this term.
A few past and present Bayern stars have aired out their delight at the group handed to the Germans and basically told Arsene Wenger's side that they don't have a chance at all.
"You can almost guarantee Arsenal won't top the group," former Bayern midfielder Owen Hargreaves said.
On the other hand, the club's current defender Jerome Boateng said, "We always enjoyed playing against Arsenal. London has been a good omen for us."
Thiago Alcantara who has been with the team since 2013 also added, "The draw is good for us and we should be able to get through this phase.
"Arsenal are an excellent team and Olympiacos and Zagreb have strong teams and are made difficult by their stadiums.
"But it would be a big surprise if Bayern and Arsenal did not get through. There are harder groups than this."
