'Leave us alone' - Arsenal fans respond to Bayern Munich's teasing Champions League tweet

Bayern Munich's US twitter account teased Arsenal by claiming the duo would once again meet in the Champions League knockout stage - prompting a lot of pleading from Gunners fans.

The Bundesliga side knocked out Arsenal in both the 2012-13 and 2013-2014 seasons, with Bayern also beating them 5-1 in the group stage in November 2015.

With Arsenal topping their group and Bayern coming second, they could be set to face off for the fourth time in five years - something Bayern Munich's American account seemed to enjoy.
