MUNICH — Arsenal must deal Bayern Munich its worst home loss in Champions League history to reach the quarterfinals. Bayern won 3-1 in London and is the highest-scoring team in this season's Champions League (18 goals), while Arsenal is one of the two teams with the worst defensive record (11 conceded). Bayern has only lost nine times in 82 Champions League home matches, and never by more than 2-0. Arsenal forward Gervinho believes “a miracle” is still possible and manager Arsene Wenger said the return leg Wednesday was not “mission impossible.” Bayern will be missing Franck Ribery and Bastian Schweinsteiger but Jupp Heynckes' team is in such form that the coach gave his top players a day off after Saturday's harder than expected 3-2 Bundesliga win over Fortuna Duesseldorf. Arsenal will be without key midfielder Jack Wilshere, who was ruled out for three weeks Tuesday with an ankle injury. Ribery is out with an ankle injury, while Schweinsteiger and defender Jerome Boateng are suspended. Defender Holger Badstuber is out for the season with a knee injury. Ribery's place is likely to be taken by Arjen Robben, who missed the game against Duesseldorf with a light calf injury but is ready to play Wednesday. If Arsenal is eliminated, England won't have a team in the last eight for the first time since the 1995-96 season. “We just need to keep positive and give everything we have. We all know anything can happen in football,” Gervinho said. “Personally, I still believe we can make it. I know it will be difficult, but I still believe in us.” Bayern Munich has won all three home games in the competition this season but Wenger believes his team can still go through. “It is not mission impossible,” the Frenchman said. “It can be done, but first of all you need 100 percent commitment, attitude and things to go your way. But usually football goes your way when you have the right attitude.” FC Porto, meanwhile, hasn't lost away from home this year, and keeping that streak alive Wednesday at Malaga will put the Portuguese club into the Champions League quarterfinals for the seventh time. Porto also has recent history on its side. The club has scored in its last six games in Spain. — Agencies
