For a team like Munich that has dominated the Bundesliga for years, I don't think they will have any difficulty getting a UCL ticket just because Munich experienced a decline this season and didn't get the title. Munich's decline was not so drastic that they still got a UCL ticket, but what was a big obstacle was that if Munich had difficulty in the Bundesliga, automatically in the UCL, they also had difficulty competing with big teams and that was a big obstacle for Munich.
Where is Munich's problem from? The end part of this season is seeming tough for them already and it's a huge reproach to the name they've established for themselves, their aims and objectives too as regards competitions this season. Out of the blue, Leverkusen are now outshining the once dreaded German team, although it brings life to football but it's not a leisure to them having unending game setbacks in the results. Tuchel is a tactical coach and it's expected that he corrects these errors.
Yesterday's first leg game of the UCL ended in a tie for the two teams. Personally, I knew it would not be an easy game for the teams based on the fact that they're and won't be ready to be suppressed regardless of their performance rate in the domestic leagues. Arsenal themselves have had a smooth running season so far and they've done their best to keep a good record in their home games. The past games is enough to be a boost towards their UCL encounter and even though they may not really stand a chance at securing the title, they've got what it takes to fight through the tussle.
Bayern Munich on the other hand have had a good history in the European contests and loosing their ranks to Arsenal will be diminishing on them. Yes, they've had to fight through games for some weeks and have also incurred a number of losses but it's not still enough reason that they succumb to Arsenal's pressure. Even though, majority of us felt Munich will fail in delivering a good result, they did their best to prove us wrong. Maybe it'll be a better performance for them in the second leg but it really would be a tough encounter as well.
