Arsenal MUST win Champions League to grab last Club World Cup spot

Arsenal must win the Champions League if they are to secure the last remaining place in next year's expanded Club World Cup, with a European minnow in line to take the spot otherwise.

After their 2-2 draw at the Emirates last week, Mikel Arteta's men must beat Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night to reach the Champions League semi-final for the first time in 15 years.

But Arsenal have to go all the way and lift European football's biggest trophy for the first time in their history if they are to qualify for the Club World Cup.   



The revamped version of the tournament will feature 32 teams, with 12 representing  UEFA and six from the CONMEBOL, its South American counterpart.

The AFC, CAF and CONCACAF will be represented by four clubs each, with the OFC and the host association awarded one slot each.
