The pros have been reacting to the news that Arsenal will face Bayern Munich in the last 16 of this season's champions league.

The pair have been drawn together for the fourth time in five seasons and have failed to get past their illustrious opponents in all three of their knock-out ties. 

Here's some of the reaction to the news of the pairing:
