The early stages of the Champions League seemed effortless for Bayern Munich. They were placed in Group D alongside Manchester City, Viktoria Plzen and CSKA Moscow. The top 2 teams would progress to the next stage. Bayern Munich won 5 of their 6 games, losing 2-3 to Manchester City. There was never any doubt that the Bayern Munich jerseys would appear in the next round, and the team did not disappoint.

The Round of 16 saw Bayern Munich pitted against Arsenal. Bayern Munich all but secured their place in the quarterfinals during the 1st leg at the Emirates Stadium. The score line was 2-0 with 2 away goals to Bayern Munich; Arsenal was on the back foot from kickoff. In a surprise turn of events Arsenal held Bayern to a 1-1 draw in the 2nd leg, but this was not enough to stop Bayern Munich's progression.

With only 8 teams remaining Bayern Munich was sure to face tough competition in the quarterfinal round. The draw took place on 21st March 2014 and the outcome would result in the Bayern Munich football shirt facing that of Manchester United. The Premier League titleholders facing the Bundesliga champions would usually of been a frightful clash for both sides.

Although never complacent, Bayern Munich would have been feeling quietly confident in this pairing. The Red Devils are having their worst ever Premier League season under new manager David Moyes. They have no chance of retaining their Premier League title, and even a Champions League spot is looking unlikely. This draw could have been much worse for the German champions.
