Bayern Munich v Arsenal: Champions League quarter-final, second leg
Six keys to an Arsenal victory at the Allianz Arena vs Bayern Munich
1. Control the midfield battle
Bayern Munich’s midfield is one of the best in the world, with Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, and Jamal Musiala all capable of dominating a game. Arsenal will need to match them in the middle of the park, with Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka key to their chances of success.
2. Be clinical in front of goal
Bayern Munich will create chances, so Arsenal need to be clinical in front of goal. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette are both capable of scoring goals, but they need to be at their best on Wednesday night.
3. Defend as a unit
Bayern Munich will attack in waves, so Arsenal will need to defend as a unit. The full-backs will need to be disciplined, and the centre-backs will need to be strong in the air.
4. Take risks
Arsenal can’t just sit back and defend against Bayern Munich. They need to be brave and take risks, especially in the second half. Arteta will need to be bold with his substitutions, and the players will need to be prepared to go for goal.
5. Believe
Arsenal can beat Bayern Munich, but they need to believe in themselves. The players need to be confident that they can get a result, and they need to show that confidence on the pitch.
6. Make history
Arsenal have never won a Champions League knockout match against Bayern Munich. This is their chance to make history and reach the semi-finals. The players need to be ready to write their names into the club’s folklore.
