Bayern Munich coach, Carlo Ancelotti, has admitted that their Champions League round-of-16 tie against Arsenal will be tough, but says he is “confident” they will progress.

The Bundesliga champions will play Arsenal once again in the competition after Monday’s draws were conducted.

They each won one game in the group stage last season, while Bayern dumped the Gunners out at the round of 16 in both the 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 seasons.

“They’ll be two interesting games, which I’m already looking forward to,” Ancelotti said on Bayern’s official website.

“I have faith in my team and hope to reach the quarterfinals. We have to lay the foundations at the Allianz Arena for the second leg in London.

“Arsenal have a very good team at the moment and a trainer [Arsene Wenger] who I respect. Arsenal are doing well in the Premier League and have only lost once in the league [this season]. It’ll be tough but I’m confident.”

The first leg will be played at the Allianz Arena on February 15, with the second leg taking place at the Emirates Stadium on March 7.
