Arsenal insured their passage to the semi-final of the Champions League after an incredible version about two legs to beat holders Real Madrid 5-1.
The first game in the Emirates was led by the stunning bracket of Free Kicks, while the second stage of Bernabeu saw a more controlled display when they grabbed a late winner.
The convincing victory over the 15-way champions achieved a place in the semi-final for the first time since 2009, when they lost 4-1 to Manchester United.
However, the Gunners can be supported this year by the winds of football history.
This is due to the strange omen that the competition appears when the final is held in Munich, Germany.
Four finals were held in the city; 1979, 1993, 1997 and 2012, with the final of 2025 the fifth.
The first three were held in the Olympiastadion, while this year the 2012 was held in the Allianz Arena.
And Arsenal can have reason to celebrate, because all four previous competitions have continued a stunning trend to crown a brand new European champion, two of which have been English teams.
The first final in Munich in 1979 was played between Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest and the Swedish outfit Malmo.
It ended in 1-0 win for Bos thanks to the first half of Trevor Francis.

A repeat 1-0 result followed in the 1993 final when the French club Marseille AC Milan defeated to win their only Champions League title so far, with Basile Boli who scored the only goal of the games just before half-time.
The German club Borussia Dortmund was the first club of the host country to benefit from the omen, with 3-1 defeating Juventus with a bracket of goals from Karl-Heinz Riedle and a third of Lars Ricken in the second half.
Chelsea are the most recent beneficiaries of the trend and beat Bayern Munich on penalties in the Allianz Arena with Didier Drogba who scored a late equalizer before scored the winning penalty in the shootout.
Of course this means that the omen this season also applies to Arsenal's semi-final opponents, Paris Saint-Germain.
Just like the Gunners, PSG has been in a final and lost it and fell to Bayern Munich in 2020 with 1-0.
The French giants defeated Aston Villa with 5-4 to book their place in the semi-final.
Mikel Arteta said about their chances of winning the competition for the first time, said: “The feeling we have is a reality, actually. And the inner feeling that I had before the draw.
“While the players were transferred and how I could feel the team, that we are ready to compete against everyone.
“And now we have to keep doing that because I think we now have some momentum.
“It is a team that you can feel today, how hungry, how determined and the ambition it is. So we will definitely go for more. It is certainly another huge step.
“Where we ended last year and the way we did this year against the team with the highest awards in the competition, it is incredible.
“But I want to give them the honor.
“It was my first time as a coach in that Dugout and today I realized after three minutes that everything is possible in this stadium.
“I mean, they are specialists from creating such a chaos, such a conviction, and it is very difficult to really understand what is happening in the game and to have a certain certainty about how we control it.
“But I think the players showed their own maturity.”
The semi-final matches of Arsenal will be played on April 29 in the Emirates and May 7 in the Parc des Princes.
