Arsenal may not have gone all the way in the Champions League yet, but there’s no doubting that they’ve enjoyed some unforgettable nights in the tournament over the years.
Tuesday night’s surprising 2-0 victory over Bayern Munich has given the club a new hope that they will be able to make it out of the group stages and go on to cause a few more upsets along the way.
But where does last night’s epic victory rank alongside their previous wins against Europe’s elite? Check below to find out…
5. Arsenal 2-1 Barcelona, 2011

Wenger once again came out top trumps over Guardiola, but there’s still a lot of work to be done if they are to escape their group. However, if displays like this are anything to go by, they shouldn’t have any problems.
3. AC Milan 0-2 Arsenal, 2008
Milan were still one of Europe’s great sides at the time of this encounter, boasting the likes of Paolo Maldini, Cafu, Andrea Pirlo and Clarence Seedorf in their line up.
Cesc Fabregas got on the scoresheet in what was considered a resolutely professional win.
