It was Arsenal's biggest home loss since November 1998 (5-0 against Chelsea in the League Cup).

Only one Champions League tie has seen a greater margin of victory for a team - Bayern Munich v Sporting Lisbon (12-1, 2009).

Only Barcelona (27 against Celtic) have scored more Champions League goals against a single opponent than Bayern have against Arsenal (26).

In the other round of 16 game on Tuesday Real Madrid also came from a goal down to beat Napoli 1-3 in Naples to complete a 6-2 win on aggregate and also book a place in the quarter finals.
