Arsenal as a much unpredictable team's is on lapses for now, arsenal allowing this kind of penalty is a big lapses for me, though we can not totally judge now because they are still in the first half of the game, after the penalty shootout by bayern that was scored by Harry kane, the match has been in the favor of bayern, I think arsenal can still recover in this match but that will only happen if they change the pattern of play in this match.

Considering the performance of arsenal in their last weekend game, I thought this match wouldn't be a difficult one for them and again bayern has not been consistent in their games so I didn't see this kind of performance coming from bayern though that's football but arsenal has to impress their fans and prove to them that they can make things right.

Lazio is certainly not better than Arsenal, but Lazio has a stronger defense than Arsenal. But what happened, Arsenal and Bayern Munich both scored goals even though Bayern Munich are now leading 1-2. Arsenal basically dominated this match and they took an early lead through Bokayo Saka's goal, but Serge Gnabry and Harry Kane ultimately put the visitors ahead.

Meanwhile, Manchester City was also 2-1 behind Real Madrid, just like Arsenal, Manchester City took the lead even though REal Madrid took the lead. Manchester City's defense was unsettled and it looked like Real Madrid could take advantage of that to score a few goals, but Pep Guardiola looks set to solve that problem.

Bayern got a penalty in the 36th minute and Harry Kane stepped up to take it for sure, you just have to know his going to convert and he did as expected, the game is now Arsenal 1:2 Bayern Munich. Obviously the first half is going to be a loss yo Arsenal as I don’t see them coming back from this even with them being the better side. They would need to go in the dressing room for some tactical and morale boost talk from the manager and spring back to grab 2 goals in the second half, they just have to. This game is supposed to end in a win to Arsenal, it ain’t a game to end in a draw.

Real Madrid happens to be leading in their fixture against Manchester City as I hoped. Manchester City haven’t been in the best of form and that is what we are seeing here in the UCL.

Today we are watching two excellent Champions League quarter-final matches at now. I am very excited. I can't predict who will win. Bayern Munich is currently lead 2-1 away from Arsenal. Arsenal's goal was scored by Saka, while Bayern Munich's goals was scored by Harry Kane and Ganbry. Real Madrid is currently lead 2-1 against Manchester City at home. Silva scored Manchester City's goal, Rodrygo and Camavinga scored Real Madrid's goals.

It is already 1-2 for Bayern Munchen and no matter if Arsenal is the better team the fact that they are down means that they have not been able to convert their many chances,I am also watching this game as I was expecting a whole lot more for Arsenal,it looks difficult now for them to be able to strike back especially considering how much difficulties they had against Porto.Sure the fact that Bayern got the advantage will make the game even more interesting to watch yet I have a lot of doubts as I said regarding the capability of Arsenal of turning things around,I hope they do but things just do not look right at this moment for them,maybe in the break their coach can motivate them further to fight back for real.

This is truly a tight match base on the match records which 3 shots on target for both teams and 2 shots off target for both teams. Man City is leading in ball possession with 60% against Real Madrid that is at 40% whereas those with lower possession are leading on goals. We can they say that Man City is doing the playing while Real Madrid is doing the scoring. The way both teams are going about their attacking, this match might likely record more goals than people actually expected. Three goals in first half already, let's see what the second half will bring.

Im watching the match between Arsenal and Bayern Munich and Arsenal are the better team. The fact that its 1:1 is a bit of a surprise after the first 30 minutes, but Im sure that at least 1 goal will be scored today. I would bet on Arsenal, they are simply much better, they have the ball under control for almost the entire game and dominate the game. Unbelievably, there are penalties for Bayern at this moment... another surprise. Now Im looking at the shot.

Edit: And Kane makes it 2:1, but Raya didnt do a good job as goalkeeper, he jumped very early and Kane had it easy way to score.

Bayern Munich have equalized the goal, and the scoreline is 1-1.
Garnaby was the player with the great finish to find the back of the net. It is rely a tough match between these two clubs, and tonight we would know who is superior to the other. Arsenal shoukd try their best to win at home so that it WI not be that di3for them in Germany. Arsenal have 6 shots and 3 on targets, while Bayern only have one shot, which was the goal.

Honestly I was surprised seeing people predicting that Real Madrid will beat Manchester City with a very good goal margin. I began to understand why people lose in betting. Anyone who understands football will not at any time on direct a team like Manchester City. I did not mean that Real Madrid is not estable team but I think Manchester City is more stable and consistent than Real Madrid of today. From the beginning of the season when vinicius was not around it was Jude Bellingham that was moving the club ahead. It seems like Real Madrid glory lies in the hands of few individual players. But this cannot be said of Manchester City because anyone could do the job for them. I believe that Real Madrid cannot overturn this match in as much as Manchester City remains consistent. Meanwhile, Guardiola is yet to introduce Kevin in the midfield. This means that there is another heavyweight sitting on the bench. In the other hand Real Madrid top  players are booked. This will make it difficult for them to succeed in the second leg of this meeting if the eventually escaped today. It is an interesting match to watch.
Edit: Score line changed Real 2:1 City

It is 2-1 now as there was an own goal to make it 1-1.

Two minutes later Rodrigo had a through pass counter that he was able to hold the ball in between two Manchester city defenders and made proper use of the ball, by putting it slowly in Manchester city net.

It is Real Madrid 2-1 Manchester city.

What an early goal from Bernardo Silva! I think the keeper would have saved this because the distance is just too much to score a first team keeper from there. Now Real Madrid have to fight to make the goal even with Manchester City who are currently on the lead even when the match is played at Santiago Bernabue. Oops, just while I'm typing, Real Madrid has equalized the match and it stand at 1:1 as at 12th minutes. What? Rodrigo scored again to make the match 2:1 in favor of Real Madrid. 2 goals in 3 minutes, that is Real Madrid for you. This is indeed the match of the tournament.

Don't forget that champions league is different from league matches where some club will not be serious at some point, this is champions league where experience most times helps in winning games and Bayern Munich has not been in poor form in the champions League they are underperforming only in the league matches and having a good scoring and winning history against the informed Arsenal will also motivate them to do better to repeat the history. The performance of Arsenal will show if they are really ready to stop Bayern Munich from progressing to the semi finals and to stop Bayern Munich they have to win at least with 2 or more goals so that when they go for the returning leg in Germany they can score a draw so they can qualify with goal aggregate but if they allow Bayern Munich to have the opportunity to possess the ball more, we may have an unexpected result.


The form of Arsenal should give them the win at home but Bayern Munich is a team with good experience and having Harry Kane as a striker, Arsenal defense will have to do a good job by not allowing him to get into their box otherwise we will see plenty goals and it won't be a good result for Arsenal.

Real Madrid 0 - 1 Manchester City since the first two minutes of the game!
It is very early to judge this but we all know that Real Madrid is the king of comeback so Manchester City has to score as many goals as they can.

Arsenal 0 - 0 Bayern Munich for the moment.
Bayern Munich whether they win big whether they lose points. I find them weaker than what they used to be in the past while gunners are doing better in their league. We will see which one will win the game in the end.

In a few minutes the kick off between Arsenal VS Bayern Munich will take place. This match will definitely be very exciting. The reason is, both Arsenal and Bayern Munich are strong teams if you look at their work in their respective domestic leagues. The reason is, currently Arsenal is in first place in the Premier League. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich is in second place in the Bundesliga. However, this match will certainly be very fierce because in this first leg Arsenal will be the host.
This of course will provide big benefits for Arsenal. Apart from that, Arsenal seems to be favored by many people to win this match. And I also really agree with that. The reason is that Bayern Munich is indeed one of the great teams in the Bundesliga. However, it will definitely be different if you compete with a Premier League club like Arsenal.
Because in my opinion, the quality of the league will definitely have a big influence on the performance of the two teams in this meeting.

The reason is, the quality of the English League and Bundesliga is definitely different. For example, in terms of competition and atmosphere, the Premier League is definitely hotter than the Bundesliga. That's why Arsenal is much more favored in this match. And that's why I would personally choose Arsenal to bet on this match.

If Arsenal fail to beat Bayern today then I don't know who they will beat in this UEFA competition, because everything is working in their favour starting with an Arsenal parked stadium which is their 12th player as Bayern supporters are suctioned which leaves them handicapped, and if am to be honest I think the Germany team is in their worst form for such a game but I wouldn't count them out completely as this stage is full of surprises.

My prediction Arsenal 2-1 Bayern Munich

---

I know Real Madrid are a well decorated team in this competition, but I think Manchester City currently has the edge and they should deliver.

My prediction Madrid 0-1 Citizens

This game will be very interesting, for me I feel Arsenal have a better chances of winning the game , you can see the squad in arsenal very solid and consistent in their games in premier league. When it comes to champions league Bayern Munich is more experience but their state of performance in Bundesliga is not convincing me if they will win against arsenal in the game.

I'm not underratimg Bayern Munich because it is one of the best team as far as Champions League is concerned and I won't be surprise if they end up winning the game, just that arsenal is very good and tough this season.  From the performance of arsenal in their game I think they have the strength of winning te game against Bayern Munich.

The two matches is going to be interesting, am still contemplating on the match which am going to be watching because the two matches is really going to be a interesting one, and I can just view from one television alone, i don’t know the match to watch, am still confuse right now, I haven’t decided yet, or maybe I will be watching the first half of Manchester City match, then I will switch to Arsenal match in the second half of the match. I think that’s just the only thing which I can do right now, I don’t really want to miss any of the matches.

Arsenal should be able to win their match today, I know it’s not going to be an easy one, but from Arsenal performance, I think they should be able to win the match. Manchester city vs Real Madrid is just a match which I can’t predict right now, the two clubs are playing well and will do everything possible to win the match, I can’t just predict who will be winning the match.

Everyone is anticipating both Arsenal's and Manchester City's games. against Real Madrid, and Arsenal is fitter to beat Bayern, The choice is Arsenal if they like they should be the failure that they have always been and with this kind of odd, it can be tempting, but at the same time, it is a risky bet. Bayern failed in their league so there is a chance that they might not win this one, and this time around experience might not work. 


And if it is about the Premier League, we have the same chance as others we have just one point ahead and even Pep has nothing to worry about, especially in all the current leagues We have the manpower to deliver in both the Champions League and, even with that, I am not that comfortable with real Madrid games, but at this point, we can do our best for tonight's game, because, let us say the truth, Madrid is good and they have experience.

It's hard to believe that Bayern could lose, but I also didn't think that they could lose in Rome, and the seemingly weak Lazio did the impossible. If you compare, then Arsenal should be stronger than Lazio, and therefore this time I admit the thought of Bayern’s defeat today, but I don’t want to believe it. Bayern's experience in the Champions League is much greater and this can play a role, for Bayern the most important thing is not to lose today, for Arsenal only victory is needed.

Yes. The teams from the Premier League that are still left have a shortage of rest time. Arsenal are slightly more profitable than Manchester City who have to fly to Madrid to play at home to Real Madrid with the rest time they have.

Experience can be a consideration for analysis, but with Arsenal's performance this season, the experience in question cannot be a benchmark for results.
I actually considered the experience that Bayern Munich and Arsenal have in the Champions League, but a draw would be more convincing.
Bayern must put the Champions League target as a priority to cover this season's failures.
