Comments:

Arsenal had now been eliminated from the UEFA Champions League at the Round of 16 stage in each of the last seven seasons. The 10-2 aggregate defeat became the heaviest suffered by an English club in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League or two-legged European Cup tie. The previous worst was Wolverhampton Wanderers' 9-2 aggregate loss to Barcelona in the quarter-finals of the European Cup in 1959-60. This became the Gunners' heaviest home defeat in European competition. Their previous worst was 2-5 against Spartak Moscow in the 1st round of the UEFA Cup on 29 September 1982. This was Arsenal's biggest home defeat since a 0-5 loss to Chelsea in the 4th round of the League Cup at Highbury on 11 November 1998. Danny Welbeck was originally named in the starting line-up before being taken ill during the pre-match warm-up. Olivier Giroud was promoted to the starting XI so Arsenal named only six of a possible seven substitutes.

Comments:

Bayern München had now reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League for the 16th time in 20 attempts; more than any other club in the competition's history. The only bigger aggregate winning margin in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League was Bayern's 12-1 win against Sporting Clube Portugal in the Round of 16 in 2008-09. Benfica hold the record for the biggest two-legged win in the European Cup. They beat Stade Dudelange 18–0 in the Preliminary round in 1965–66.
