In football, sometimes things happen that are not what we predict or speculate. It's true, Arsenal in the Champions League is not that prominent. However, it is important to note that history is history and does not mean it will end the same when these two teams meet again. we will know the answer after the quarter-final match is held. Will Bayern not show mercy to Arsenal, even though the match is held at the Emirates. or maybe vice versa, Arteta doesn't care which opposing team they face, the most important thing is that they have a mission to overthrow them. in addition to Arsenal, several players are doubtful if they can play, especially Gabriel Jesus and Saka. In the Munich camp, several players were also reported to be absent, including main goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. if so, we know how Sven Ulreich keeps goal for Bayern Munich. This goalkeeper's performance is very unstable. This means that Arsenal can take advantage of Bayern's weakness, especially as several of their defenders are also reported to be absent.

So, this match is interesting for me. because, maybe the situation turns around. I mean, Arsenal were able to show their abilities, especially playing in front of their own supporters. Plus, Arsenal is currently different when Bayern beat them 10-2 on aggregate in 2017. I am an Arsenal supporter, but however I have to treat these two teams neutrally. In fact, Bayern is not as strong as before and Arsenal is starting to develop even more. The problem is, how will the mentality of Mikel Arteta's squad be tested in the quarter-final match later. In fact, even though I am a supporter of the Gunners, I am still realistic. In fact, there are other teams that are stronger and far favorites than Arsenal. However, at least I want to see how Mikel Arteta's team plays their match against Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals.

The Quarter Final match between Arsenal and Bayern Munich will carry so much weight majorly because of the historical records between both teams when they come to play each other especially the storied rivalry between both clubs. The Past history, with memorable encounters between both teams which have left lasting impressions on both clubs and her supporters could fuel anticipation for the upcoming match. The historical view of this match adds drama, anticipation and make this fixture real significant.

⁠Yes the past could provide inspiration but the outcome of the fixture will be solely based on the current form of the players at the clubs presently. The absence of key players will pose a major threat to any of the club and for Bayern Munich it’ll be one major worry for them as Arsenal could take massive advantage of this problem.

⁠Bayern are known for their squad depth and missing some players especially key players will be a major blow as it will probably result in adjustment in tactics which could probably not be a great idea for a big match like this. Yes this can also be an opportunity for the available players to step up their performance but the possibility of that happening is really less.

⁠Arsenal are a better team now and they will be able to pose a threat to Bayern if care isn’t taken and this is one of the major reason I’m anticipating this match as I would want to see how much improvement has happened in this Arsenal squad.
