... everything will be clear to all of us, how Arsenal will take advantage of the first leg, which in my opinion is in this home match their best chance of winning over Bayern Munich. Tuchel squad will be difficult to beat when playing at the Allianz Arena, even though recently they have often lost to mediocre clubs in the Bundesliga. Arteta and his squad are now in good confidence, the quarter finals will be their toughest test besides the tight competition for trophies in the Premier League at the moment.
Arsenal really need to take home advantage maximally to beat Bayern, while they are in good form and high morale. This is their best opportunity to progress the next round, because they will have to stay focus on their title race in Premier League. The second leg is still uncertain, because anything can happen. Pressure, fatigue or even injuries can come anytime to any team. The circumstance in the second leg may not be the same.

This can be a slight advantage for Bayern, because they may have given up their Bundesliga ambition, because it has become almost impossible for them to chase Bayer Leverkusen. While Arsenal have split focus, Tuchel will put extra effort on his only chance to get silverware  in Champions League. He needs to capitalize this situation and boost the confidence of their players who have experience to beat Arsenal. While they have bad performance and potentially failed in Bundesliga, They are still the same players who have capabilities, experiences and strong mentality to performance at the highest level.

Yes, Arsenal have a tough choice to make, although you can't really call it a choice, as any defeat in either of these two tournaments could break the team's morale, so they need to win either way, whether in the Champions League or the EPL, which is quite difficult due to the busy schedule. If it wasn't so hard fought in the EPL, maybe it would be easier
