Emery has shown in the past that he knows how to navigate continental competition, with three Europa League successes enjoyed while in charge of Sevilla and another at Villarreal. The former Arsenal boss also graced Champions League dugouts when calling the shots at Paris Saint-Germain.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
It was during his time at Parc des Princes, where he oversaw a Ligue 1 title triumph, that Emery first got the better of Bayern. Said triumph came in September 2017, as Dani Alves, Neymar and Edinson Cavani secured a 3-0 victory for PSG over Bundesliga opposition.
Emery has earned plenty of plaudits for his work at Villa Park, as he returns elite club competition to the West Midlands, and news of him ending a stunning 41-game run for Bayern has gone viral – with the 52-year-old proving to be a serious thorn in the side of those at the Allianz Arena.
