Bayern Munich was eliminated from the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League last season by Manchester City but after analyzing that game, I came up with the idea that Manchester City were able to eliminate Bayern Munich because the German club were yet to get a replacement for their former striker Robert Lewandowski but despite getting a good replacement for Lewandowski last summer in Harry Kane, Bayern Munich have not been able to live up to the expectations of football fans this season especially in their domestic league that Borussia Dortmund is currently leading them.
Last weekend, both Bayern Munich and Arsenal were involved in the strong games in their respective leagues with Bayern Munich facing Borussia Dortmund at home while Arsenal traveled to the home of Manchester City. Bayern were convincingly beaten by Borussia Dortmund despite playing at home while Arsenal got a draw at Manchester City. The results of both teams against strong oppositions last weekend have changed the mind of those who had initially thought that it'll be an easy ride for Bayern Munich against Mikel Arteta's Arsenal. Arsenal will pose a big threat against Bayern Munich and if going by the performances of both teams this season, I think Arsenal might just eliminate Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich weren’t able to make it past this stage in last season UCL as they were eliminated by English club, Man City and if you check in that match one major disadvantage the German club had was the lack of a goal poacher. That made them to be behind in that match as they didn’t have someone who was as Lewandowski to be able to help convert their chances and as such they fell behind to City and were disqualified.
Now this season, they got Harry Kane who’s one very prolific striker and yes to an extent, you can liken him to Lewandowski but yet still they haven’t been able to do anything right as they’re probably going to end the season trophyless. Yes because I feel the pattern of Tuchel isn’t just working for them and they don’t seem to be that fire team we knew some years back. You can see how much they’re struggling in the league and last weekend’s loss to Dortmund already is a sign that they might be battered by Mikel Arteta’s improved Arsenal side.
Yes Arsenal are improved as you can see how they were able to at least get a point off city last weekend and as such still be in top contention for the EPL title. Now this result is a big eye opened that Bayern could again be shownm the exit in this round if they don’t learn fast and get the changes right. Well to an extent you might want to talk about experience and yes I’ll understand but what’s majorly needed is knowing how to flow well first and you can’t take that away from this Arsenal side. They’ve also got some experienced UCL players like Jorginho and Kai Havertz including Jesus and these players are key and will be able to help the club do the damage to Bayern in the UCL.
