It still feels like a dream to see Arsenal successfully slaughter Leverkusen with a landslide score and is this really the Arsenal we know?
Even though this is only a pre-season match, the Gunners are so serious about being able to beat Leverkusen and I think this could be a good record after successfully beating last season's Bundesliga champions. Mikel Arteta must also be very happy with his team's performance in this match and it looks like he's fielding all of his main squad so they can win.
On the other hand, maybe Xabi Alonso freed his players here and didn't burden them all too much to achieve maximum results. Leverkusen certainly just wants their players to stay fit before the season starts and I think a defeat like this feels quite reasonable. It looks like Xabi Alonso also only fielded his reserve players and it's a stark contrast to what Arsenal did. In addition, Granit Xhaka was finally able to reunite against his former team and this was a fun match for him.
forget the fact that Bayer Leverkusen won the bundesliga, arsenal to me is a much stronger opponent even if they came second behind Manchester city in the EPL. I understand that, it's a pre-season match, but such kind of victory Will help build the confidence and moral of the arsenal players this coming season.
