Arsenal were my favourite team says Alaba

The Bayern Munich star revealed he is relishing another meeting with the London club given they were the side he supported growing up.

Bayern Munich star David Alaba has revealed that he grew up supporting their upcoming Champions League opponents Arsenal.

The sides have met in three of the last four seasons, with Bayern winning three of their six meetings and progressing each time they have met in knockout action.

Alaba scored as Bayern thrashed Arsenal 5-1 at the Allianz Arena in last season's group stage.
And the Austria international is glad to be playing the Gunners once again, given his affinity for the club.
