Wenger happy Arsenal top their Champions League group
Arsenal were hoping for an easy draw after winning their qualifying group for the first time in five seasons.
But they have been drawn against the German champions, who they have faced a number of times over the past few years.
The Bundesliga giants eliminated Arsene Wenger's side at this stage of the competition in both 2013 and 2014, while the two sides also met in the group stages last season.
