Your points are still yet to be valid to give Bayern Munich a win against Arsenal in their second leg match. We saw how the two teams performed at Emirates stadium in which the match ended in a tie. Their domestic performance has little to no consequence to what their performance will be in the champions league. The champions league competition is different and every team has a way of playing the competition even when their performance in the domestic league is poor. I still feel Arsenal can do well in this match to prevail against Bayern Munich, it just depends on how each team plays that day that will determine who will qualify for the next round of the competition.

Yes that's PSG mentality both this season and last season, the results will not be much different. So I am optimistic that at Camp Nou the PSG players will experience more difficulties than what they experienced when playing at home. Barcelona has won 1 match with 3 points so PSG task will be quite tough and with the current tactics PSG only needs to focus on improving this team, especially the back line without Hakimi which looks very vulnerable. On the other hand, Barcelona has young players with potential, full of ambition and under Xavi control they are already able to play this well, in the UCL the obstacles will be even more difficult and they need 1 more win to ensure progress to the semifinals.

Bayern Munich and Arsenal are equal clubs, both teams have their own advantages. In Leg 2 Bayern Munich will prepare everything to emerge victorious, and Arsenal must be more aggressive in the first half because Arteta as far as I saw in Leg 1 was late bringing on Trossard. His contribution is very important and is the key to opening up more opportunities and his ability to score goals. If Arteta gives Trossard more playing time, the result will be different from leg 1.

Tuchel fate at Bayern Munich is hanging in the balance, the only thing that can save him is if he succeeds in winning the UCL trophy. However, it is not easy to bet, so if Bayern Munich loses to Arsenal, they will automatically lose their chance in the UCL, then 100% Tuchel will be immediately fired.

Arsenal also has experienced players within their squad that had played and also won the Champions League Competition, so this is not something that should be brought up to discuss.
Nobody also doubts the chances they had of winning the Premier League Competition but they should exert much pressure than they're doing currently. Gunner's are not doing so bad, at least they're doing better than Chelsea.

That first leg did go well, it was just that, Saka choose to be a Fvckn twat during the last few minutes of th ngame to win the game. Saka should have just scored and not gamble about with the game and goal.
Come th second leg of the game, Bayern Munich will definitely defeat Arsenal at home, they have all the chancea to win.

From what I see his time at Barcelona didn't really anchor anything for him to even not celebrate in the first place, the particular thought of action that players don't celebrate after scoring, I think it's tied to players have really achieve something with that previous club of their and for Ronaldo case it's definitely clear that the need to respect united is needed because the man achieve his first champions league and also the balon Dior at his time in united.

The situation of the matches between the heavyweight is still one very tensed one especially as the first leg between both teams ended in a draw and now they’ll be going over to the Etihad which is a ground we’re aware that City doesn’t joke in that ground. Though Madrid have defeated City in that ground but now you can’t predict easily rather you can just have high hopes on your favorite winning the match.

 When you check between both teams, Madrid seem favorite but they’ll have to press more than they did in the first leg to be able to defeat City at the Etihad. Barcelona have a very easy fixture after being able to defeat PSG in France in the first leg, having to defeat them at the Camp Nou might not he much difficult but they’ve got to try to keep up their performance.

 ⁠It’s the UCL and as such surprises are bound to happen and as such you can’t be rest assured of your first leg result as anything could happen in the second leg and you could be eliminated hence. Man City and Real Madrid still remain a big match of focus and we’ll all get our eyes fixed on this match especially as it happens to be the two major favorites for the league.⁠Yes Real are top of the La Liga table and they have everything it takes to defeat this City side. I’m not going to overhype Pep’s team as I wish Ancelotti will be able to get the perfect tactics to defeat this City side in the second half.

You're right regarding Bayern's Champions League history. Some call it the best business mentality. Arsenal's draw wasn't an accident. They dominated the first leg. Avoiding that was a mistake. These lads are playing with confidence under Arteta and looking to make a statement in Munich.

Bayern and Tuchel? They won't surrender. Champions League is their priority. Arsenal has previously shocked many. Playing clever and staying calm, they can do the impossible. Honestly, it wouldn't be the first. So, their chances?

In theory, yeah, Bayern Munich is the favorite in the second leg when they host Arsenal. playing at the Allianz Arena, provides high motivation which in fact plays in front of his own supporters. However, if we refer to the odds provided by the bookies, both have the same chance no matter that the match is played at Bayern Munich's home ground. If Arsenal didn't play optimally yesterday, maybe they will be more optimal when they play in Germany at home to Munich. After all, Arsenal had more control over the course of the match. in the second leg, maybe the same thing will happen. because Tuchel played more counter-attack tactics when he met Arsenal. but what is certain is that we don't know for sure what the two coaches will implement when these two teams meet. What is certain is that neither Arsenal nor Bayern Munich will waste their momentum in the second leg of the quarter-finals which will be held at the Allian Arena. Well, it's not Tuchel who determines whether Bayern will be able to win the trophy or not. However, what happens when Bayern plays their matches against opposing teams. Let's assume that Bayern wins against Arsenal, it's not certain that Bayern Munich will win another match, especially if they meet Madrid or City. On the contrary, Arteta wants to do what is best for the club, the team and its supporters. He will use his abilities when the Gunners visit Bayern. Well, we will find out the results when this match is held.

I literally see nothing good in the new changes. How many qualifying games where teams are fighting to get into the Champions League group stage do you watch on average each season? Personally, I'm a zero. The new format turns the group stage into something that makes no sense to watch. There is no two-game matchup, your next opponent is unknown until all games of the current round have been played. The atmosphere of a serious tournament is completely missing in my opinion. Moreover, having broken the old format, they do not get any advantages from this: the composition of the playoffs will be exactly the same as under the old format. So what are these changes for?

Bayern Munich are slumping in the Bundesliga and they are not even able to defend the title this season but we also can't see what happens in the domestic league because I think it will be different from what they will show in the Champions League match.
In my opinion, the possibility of Bayern Munich being able to beat Arsenal is quite big in the second leg, first they will play at home and a draw in the first leg will of course make Bayern Munich confident enough to be able to turn things around in the second leg in front of their own supporters.

There is no reason to criticize Dembelé, that is like working in a company and then going to another where they have better working conditions, so if that happens there is no reason to regret it, when he went to Barcelona he respected the club and contributed what he had to contribute, the celebration must be celebrated, that's what it's about, for example Luis Enrique is loyal to Barcelona, he always wanted to be there, but this time he has to play against it, so that's professionalism. He is doing his job, he cannot be or have a very contrary attitude to the things for which he is paid.

The same thing happens to this player, if he didn't want a goal to have been Scored, they would have let him go, just like that, while that player still has to do his job and I'm sure that if he can score 10 goals against Barcelona he would do it. and I Wouldn't doubt it, it's your job.

Yeah. If Arsenal go to Bayern Munich home in the next leg, the match will be different because there will be more pressure coming from Bayern Munich ends, and they will also dominate the match because they can’t allow Arsenal to come home and win them or play a draw as they did at Arsenal home, so I believe Bayern Munich are going to play more than they did at Arsenal home in the second leg. Also, they are looking for the Champions League title this season, so it will be a bad result if they allow Arsenal to win them at home, and I think that will be their main target in the second leg.

Although the penalty that Bayern Munich got was what favoured them in the first place, I won’t say Arsenal are going to win the match in the second leg because Bayern Munich are also trying in the Champions League competition and Bayern Munich will be playing at home, so I think it is unpredictable for now.

I don’t think Bayern Munich will still have a chance against Arsenal, even though I know that Bayern Munich always finds it hard to lose a home game. But this is a different war because Arsenal is one of my favourite teams to win this trophy this season. We know that if not Bayern Munich are weak this season, we won’t even have hope for Arsenal, but even though Arsenal were not able to knock them out of the league, Real Madrid or Manchester City will do that for them. That is what I believe will happen in this year's Champions League. 

So I don’t think Bayern Munich can win any trophy this season because their performance is already poor and they will hardly get back to their previous form this season again, but I think they can do better in the next season. 

It is true that Bayern Munich has a chance in the second leg against Arsenal to catch up or improve the draw in the first leg. It's just that what I think is that currently Bayern is experiencing a downturn or decline in performance, whether it's because of a change in their coach or whatever, but what is clear is that I think Bayern Munich is currently not doing well. But what you say also makes sense, maybe their draw yesterday against Arsenal could be their capital for the second match because Arsenal failed to gain the advantage in the first leg.

It's true, Bayern Munich is always successful in winning trophies every season, but this season I doubt that, because recently Bayern Munich's performance seems to have decreased, so they are playing less than optimally, even though I know they have tried their best.

I wonder how many times has this happened, considering the career of a manager could be decades and decades long, whereas as a player most get 20 years maximum, there must be a lot of players who became managers and managed against their old managers. Xavi do look like a much better manager than Enrique if you ask me, that's just my estimate and I do not think that it is going to be all that complicated in the end, it looks like they are doing very well.

I personally believe that Xavi has this amazing ability to get players to a higher level than what they have shown so far, he basically unearths this hidden step further, and everyone who plays for him, ends up playing even better, that's a great skill to have as a manager.

You should bear in mind that this is football and anything can happen during that game. But with Bayern Munich at home, with the home fans and having no other competitive Competition to play, they will give all they have, I see that had a good win together today to prepare for the arrival and of Arsenal come next week Wednesday.

Gunner's are good no doubts, bit you see in the Champions League Competition or European Competitions? They're not the club you think they're. It's the hard truth qnd you have to accept.
Come next week, I won't say they will be playing like they did last season but they're aren't going easy on Arsenal. Bayern Munich remains my favorite to proceed to the next round.

ATM against Borrussia Dortmund is also a tough game to watch.

In this Season everything is different so I think it will never be the same for what has happened in the past.
Bayern this season has different strengths, so does Arsenal, but I don't think Arsenal's performance is better than Bayern because in the first leg, Bayern really benefited because the draw result made it easier for them in the second leg because they will be playing at their home ground.

Everyone has desires and hopes for their favorite team, but we also have to look at it realistically that the second leg will be very difficult for Arsenal to play at home to Bayern and with Agg still in a draw, Arsenal's percentage of getting through to the semifinals is not greater than Bayern.

It seems that it will be difficult to say no to Bayern at the moment, they already have the advantage of being able to get a draw in the first leg, in conditions like now of course it will be very difficult to actually get a draw at Arsenal home, especially this season Arsenal showed tremendous progress in their game and made Bayern Munich not favourites in the first leg,  But we can see how Bayern Munich was able to trouble Arsenal's defense with their quick attack even though Arsenal actually looked very dominating in the match, in my opinion Bayern Munich's game in the first leg was still not good but they managed to force Arsenal to work very hard to equalize the score.

I think if Bayern Munich play like the previous season, then it is very impossible to see Arsenal qualify for the semi-finals later, because after all history has proven that Arsenal do not have enough mentality to face Bayern Munich especially when they play at the Allianz Arena, like you, I also really want to see Arsenal qualify for the semi-finals and even the Champions League final this season but it seems that we cannot expect Many of these things will happen.

I don't think you should see Dembele celebration on that light, is not easy to conceal excitement when you score a goal especially in a big game like the champions League, maybe he left Barcelona on a bad rancor with the manager, so he doesn't see the need not to celebrate his goal. There are lot of players that I know that I've concealed or refuse to celebrate when they played against their previous teams, Cristiano Ronaldo did it against Manchester United when he was in Real Madrid, the both teams met in the champions League and Ronaldo scored against United, he did not celebrate his goal, just to show a mark of respect to his former teams mates, however Dembele has his reasons.

The main question for the Arsenal Bayern game is very simple, is bayer gonna play like the bayern from past years or is gonna play like the shit they are doing recently?. And in that answer we can have the output of the game.

I hope to see going into Semifinals the Arsenal team, because they are better to see and can bring to us a more fun to watch game in the next semifinals.

We have not yet seen whether the new format proposed will be more attractive or not, but we can only follow it because all decisions are up to UEFA. However, you are right that this provides an advantage for the club because it has a greater chance of being in the Champions League.

In fact, we will also see this new format in the World Cup, because there will be more participants in the next World Cup than usual, this will also provide benefits for countries because they may have a greater chance of qualifying for the next round of the World Cup.

I want to see first the new format in the Champions League, whether it will be more interesting or not. If not then the format should be returned to the current format. I see that there have been many changes recently, both in terms of competition formats and changes to other rules.

Football is also very steeped in technology now, which is good but in my opinion it reduces the drama that occurs, like VAR for example. Indeed, we have to adapt to all of that.
