The reaction to the UCL draw

Jan-Christian Dreesen (CEO): "It's certainly going to be a difficult road to Wembley! Arsenal are in top form as Premier League leaders, it's going to be an even contest. They're no longer the team who we won comfortably against in the last three games. Nevertheless, the target is clear: after three quarter-final exits in a row, we're desperate to progress."

Max Eberl (board member for sport): "We want to reach the semi-finals, even if Arsenal are among the top clubs in Europe. They've improved in recent years and now they have a balanced team with incredible pace in attack. They play very attractive football as well. We're focusing and looking forward to the games. You look forward to these nights."

Christoph Freund (sporting director): "It's a difficult but attractive draw. We can look forward to two exciting games. Arsenal's development is impressive, but we're FC Bayern Munich. We need a really good away performance in London, and then anything's possible with our fans behind us at home."

Thomas Tuchel: "We certainly have the most difficult path ahead of us that you can imagine. We now face one of the best teams in Europe. They've been playing consistently at the top level for two years. They're a homogenous, dangerous team, they score a huge number of goals. We'll be ready, though. We know our qualities."

Manuel Neuer: "They're a very strong team with a very good spirit. They're currently top of the Premier League for a reason. It's going to be two hard games, we'll have to show what we're all about if we're to progress. It's going to be an intriguing clash, we're looking forward to the assignment and are happy we get to play in these games."

Thomas Müller: "Arsenal are a team who'll give us two thrilling games. They're in good form at the moment. It's a tough task but with the second leg being in Munich, we have good chances of progressing."

Eric Dier: "It's obviously special for me to return to England for a game so soon after moving to FC Bayern - and to North London, of all places. It's a great opportunity for us to show our quality at the highest level. Arsenal have a young team who are performing very well."
