       Arsène Wenger has revealed he asked Uefa to cancel the
       away-goal rule after his side were knocked out by Bayern
       Munich in last season's Champions League.
       Arsenal beat Bayern 2-0 at the Allianz Arena to level the
       aggregate score at 3-3 but were eliminated due to their 3-1
       defeat in the first game at Emirates Stadium.
       The Gunners have been paired with the German giants at the
       same this year and Wenger thinks the holders will fear his
       team.
       "Certainly yes [Bayern will fear Arsenal]," Wenger said. "If you
       look at the last five years we've had Barcelona twice, once
       Milan, and twice Bayern. So no-one can say we are advantaged
       by the draw.
       "Last year we went out on away goals and after that I asked
       for Uefa to cancel the away goals.
       "I think for example, we lost 3-1 here and won 2-0 at Bayern,"
       he added. "It is difficult to win 2-0 to Bayern without
       conceding a goal.
       "Sometimes I think there is a counter-effect as teams play at
       home not to concede goals. At home the first thing managers
       say is let's not concede goals."
