Arsenal have been handed an edge in the race for the Premier League title as Manchester City progressed to the Champions League semi-final. Pep Guardiola's side booked their place in the last four for the third year in a row after a 1-1 draw against Bayern Munich, going through 4-1 winners on aggregate.
The Citizens are still competing on two fronts this season and have the chance to complete a historic treble entering the final six weeks of matches. With the chance to close the gap at the top of the table to one point, as well as facing the Gunners in a crunch tie next week, the pressure is starting to ramp up.
For Arsenal, City's progression poses a massive positive, handing them a key advantage in the closing stages. Whereas there is nothing more than simply picking up points to worry about for Mikel Arteta's side, Guardiola has to balance extra fixtures on the schedule.
