MUNICH – With Bayern Munich facing their first trophy-less season since 2011-12, attacker Serge Gnabry called their Champions League quarter-final, first-leg clash against Arsenal on April 9 “a do-or-die game”.

After 11 straight Bundesliga titles, Bayern are a whopping 16 points adrift of leaders Bayer Leverkusen, who can clinch their maiden German top-flight crown by winning just one of their last six league matches.
