Arsenal were able to play well in defense today, but they were very weak in attack and they definitely can't use that strategy in the first match against Bayern, the home game needs to be won if they want to have a chance in the return leg. Bayern lost to Dortmund, but they didn't play badly, and what worries me more is not the loss, but the fact that Noeir is injured, and I could not find any information on when he will return to the game, if Bayern have to play the Champions League matches without him, it will be a very difficult situation for Tuchel.

Arsenal has managed to get through a tough match against Manchester City, even though they have to be willing to share the points, at least they didn't lose. It's not easy to steal points at the Etihad, where in my opinion Manchester City actually has a better chance of securing 3 points. A draw against Manchester City will have a good impact on Arsenal prestige in the Champions League later, and Mikel Arteta squad will have good confidence when they face Bayern Munich in the quarter finals. Arsenal have now changed for the better, and they deserve credit for their hard work.

Bayern Munich lost to Dortmund in their last match, it makes sense that many people now consider their chances of beating Arsenal to be lower than before. Even if you look at the impressive performance currently being shown by Arsenal, Mikel Arteta squad is considered to have a big chance of beating Bayern Munich. This season, Bayern Munich has performed with unstable performance, even though they have very good squad depth, the presence of Harry Kane on the front line cannot make them consistently win.

I have really positive expectations from Arsenal. Because while I really like Arteta's Arsenal this season I can't say the same for Tuchel's Bayern Munich. Tuchel has officially stated as well that the title race in the Bundesliga is over for them from now on. It is good that he has finally realized that. Dortmund had to beat them to make him say that. 

Arsenal didn't lose to Manchester City today again. They are doing everything they can to be the champions in the EPL. I didn't like their effort against Porto maybe but I think it won't be the same against Bayern Munich too. Arsenal really have a chance in this stage. 

I think it all depends on each individual's assessment and viewing from another perspective, especially since Bayern is one of the Bundesliga giants. the defeat against Dortmund was not because Tuchel was not focused on the Bundesliga, especially as a big team, Bayern has high prestige as an elite team. but in fact, the performance of Kane and his colleagues was very messy. To make matters worse, Bayern's main goalkeeper was injured. although in reality, Neuer's performance is not as good as before his long injury. For me, it's not a matter of whether to get up or not, but to prepare the Bayern Munich players when they play against Arsenal in the quarter-finals. Especially if Sven Ulreich is installed as goalkeeper in the match against Arsenal, to be honest, I quite doubt the performance of Bayern Munich's second goalkeeper in the match.

On the contrary, it is Bayern who must be alert because Arsenal could surprise them when they host Bayern at the Emirates Stadium. yeah, like Bayern, Arsenal could also do something to vent about the draw against Manchester City. We can assume according to what we value according to our respective views, but still I am sure that Arsenal can perform optimally at home. This is explained by the options that the bookmakers provide, Arsenal with odds @1.97 and Bayern with @3.75. well, there is something strange for me, although this option is only temporary. but clearly, Arsenal is superior. well, whatever we assume and speculate, we will find out the results when these two teams meet in the quarter-final match later.

Yes, everyone must have their own point of view in assessing something, especially about the soccer team, everyone has a different way of analyzing a team that produces different conclusions as speculation, it is a natural thing and not something that can be intervened by anyone in opinion, especially in a public space like this Forum, don't get too carried away with personal things here, we only share opinions and views according to each person.
I myself concluded that Arsenal have a much higher probability of getting a win than Bayern Munich because if you look at the performance that is noticed between these two teams both in domestic league matches or the Champions themselves Bayern Munich seems to be regressing slowly at the end of this season, while Arsenal are much better because they are progressing and can compete with Man City as champions last season. Maybe and unlikely but Arsenal can win the match against Bayern Munich in the Champion match even if both are in a complete squad and in good form, yes if not too sure it is better to postpone first to bet because it will cause regret if you are in a state of doubt like that.

It would be quite good for Bayer Leverkusen if Xabi Alonso is able to continue this extraordinary ability until the end of the season because currently Bayer Leverkusen still holds an unbeaten record in its domestic league and also in the European League this season. But for now I think there is no need to discuss more about it here because what is related to Bayer Leverkusen is more suited to being in the European League and Bundesliga. Although the opportunity for Bayer Leverkusen to enter the Champions League next season is actually quite certain because Bayer Leverkusen is a candidate to win this season in its domestic league and also in the European League.

Very strange odds indeed. 2.05 to win PSG in Paris looks like easy money. I wonder why PSG is rated so poorly (or Barcelona so well) because on the side of PSG there is dominance in Ligue 1, champion mentality + normal coach + Mbappe, and on Barcelona’s side there is a dubious team with a dubious coach and I don’t see any arguments in their favor other than virtual “brand strength" which will not play on the field.
Do Barcelona fans really generate such a cash flow of bets that bookmakers are forced to give such distorted quotes?

Bayern Munich will have important injured players and their absences in this match will affect the course of the tournament. Bayern no longer has any claim to the league title, and their home defeat against Dortmund caused a great morale loss before the Arsenal match. Tuchel is having a bad situation at Bayern. Because of his poor management in the teams he plays for, big teams will soon no longer want him at the head of their team.

The ups and downs in performance experienced by Bayern Munich give Arsenal a greater opportunity to achieve victory, of course it will not be easy because we really understand what Bayern Munchen reputation is in the Champions League so far. Arsenal increase in strength this season comes from the depth of the squad built by Arteta, so that they are able to be consistent and stable in the two most competitive competitions currently. That doesn't mean that the depth of Bayern Munchen squad is not good, but they are not in their best playing form, so Tuchel squad often suffers surprising defeats.

It's true that we each have our own views on the quarter final match between Arsenal versus Bayern Munchen, and we are free to choose whether to bet or not. Predictions could be wrong, although we have seen the reputation of these two clubs in the last few matches. Tuchel has the attributes needed and is experienced, they could show a different performance in the Champions League, but Arsenal has now changed a lot and is worth considering.

Yes, their defeat cannot be a benchmark that they will do the same thing when facing Arsenal. They will definitely get up quickly and forget the defeat they experienced in this match, because even regret will not have any effect on them. Now what they have to do is focus on the match they will face.

They have sufficient preparation time before this match takes place. In that time they can prepare everything they need so that they don't fail again. In particular, perhaps the Champions League is the last chance for them to win the title because in the Bundesliga it can be said that their chances of becoming champions are closed.

Bayern Munich had no other choice but to go all out in this match. They actually already had an early advantage before this match was played. Yes, on paper they are more favorites than the opponents they will face, Arsenal. Therefore they must not miss the opportunity that comes to them in the Champions League, even though it is not something easy.

Everyone has their own point of view and everyone has speculation about the betting choices they will make. There's nothing wrong with that and I've read several views for those who support Arsenal and also those who support Bayern and I think it's quite logical but after I saw both of them I increasingly confident that these two teams have the same percentage to win the match.
So I wouldn't bet excessively on this match because anything is possible.

Arsenal currently cannot be compared to Arsenal in previous seasons, they have improved a lot and so have Bayern, many differences have occurred this season.

Bayern Munich have no choice but to focus on the Champions League now that they have fallen so far behind in their own league, as far behind as Bayern Munich, they may not be able to win the title in the end. They are far behind Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, and no matter how hard they try, they may not be able to close the points gap between the two sides this season. But this team still has full potential to do well in the Champions League if Bayern Munich can capitalize on that potential. Step-by-step Bayern Munich will have to plan, as they have two legs of the quarter-finals ahead of them with the first leg between the two legs. If planning is successful in the first leg match, then plan for the second leg match and then again plan for the semi-final opponent. If this is the right plan for Bayern Munich to move forward then surely Bayern Munich can do well in the Champions League.

Munich's defeat in the league certainly cannot be used as a benchmark because indeed at this time Munich is no longer too focused on the league, but despite all our expectations of course the defeat to Dortmund is a bad enough result for Tuchel this season after they are 11 seasons unbeaten by Dortmund in the league, although Munich lost the game but I am personally quite sure if it will not affect their performance in the Champions League later.

As a team that is quite experienced, of course Munich knows how they rise quickly after the defeat, and Arsenal should be wary because indeed they will make Arsenal as an outlet for their defeat to Dortmund, the quality and experience of Munich in the Champions League is certainly a foundation for us to continue to believe Munich can continue to advance to the next round in the Champions League,  Arsenal are in pretty onfire form in the league but still the depth of the squad they have at the moment is doubtful for me if Arsenal can talk more in the Champions League this season.

Basically Bayer Leverkusen did not try to extend Xabi's contract but, in fact, Xabi himself has choose to stay one more season at Bayer Leverkusen. With his statement, then of course it becomes clear that Xabi is free to choose to stay or leave . Because after all, Bayer Leverkusen itself has stated before a few months earlier that Bayer Leverkusen is ready if Xabi chooses to leave and Bayer Leverkusen will not hold him back.

Therefore, at least Xabi Alonso can still show a loyal attitude to the Bayer Leverkusen team, even though his career is on the rise but Xabi does not seem too crazy about money. Because of course, if Xabi chooses another team, then of course Xabi will get a bigger fee such as choosing Bayern Munich or Liverpool. But indeed, it will be interesting about Xabi's choice to stay at Bayer Leverkusen, of course, next season will also prove whether Xabi will still succeed in providing very impressive results for Bayer Leverkusen or not.

What are the motivations after lose against dortmund which is also placing below bayern? I meant if Bayern has no chance of competing with Leverkusen for the Bundesliga trophy. caused by this lose The loss to Dortmund obviously eliminated Bayern's chance to compete with Leverkusen, and it now has no chance of winning the trophy. I also doubt Bayern Munich will win the UCL this season because of their poor performance. Tuchel is the main cause of Bayern Munich's trophyless season. I doubt that Bayern Munich will be able to perform better. The defeat against Dortmund was obviously causing Bayern to lose confidence. DOrtmund was also involved in UCL, which means it was also a setback for Bayern.
It demonstrates that Bayern has been degrading significantly on its level. This is now the same as it used to be. Bayern is still performing poorly in this match. Tuchel sees UCL as his last chance at Bayern.

I believe that departing with him was the best decision because he was unable to create a positive environment for the players and it was also triggering bayern to play so badly in this game. He also caused players to lose confidence in their ability to play under him. Even some players have stated unequivocally that if they do not feel comfortable with it.
It was also the primary reason for the club's poor performance.

Leverkusen would definitely extend Xabi Alonso's contract after his latest statement on his future.    He clearly stated that he was ready to go longer with Leverkusen. This will be enough to drop the interests from Liverpool and Bayern Munich quickly. Leverkusen are about to join the Champions League group stage officially.

Xabi Alonso would really make use of some good additions to strengthen the squad this summer. Because the Champions League arena is much tougher than the Bundesliga. If he wants to achieve the best they can there then this is a need for them.

Therefore, rather than hastily moving to another team, it is better for Xabi Alonso to prove himself with his squad in the Champions League next season. Of course we are very curious about Leverkusen's arrival in the next season and it will be increasingly difficult to predict who will be the next champion after Leverkusen is in this competition with the same squad and coach.

We must hope that the Champions League competition can be a proving ground for strong teams and with Leverkusen it will add more color and tension to every match. Therefore, it would be very regrettable if Xabi Alonso left sooner and it would be better if he remained Leverkusen coach so he could make other achievements. Moreover, this is Xabi Alonso's first season leading Leverkusen in Europe's highest competition so he cannot miss this.

You shouldn't blame anyone who is underestimating Arsenal, because they just see it from their own perspective that Arsenal might not be able to go beyond the stage. The reason is because, they are playing with a club that is more experienced than them in the Champions League. If I want to start naming one of Arsenal players that is certainly going to net the post on that match day, I cannot call any.

Arsenal for the first time after 2007/2008 have managed to reach the quarter final with a penalty shootout, which shows that it was a narrow escape, and a game of luck. However, we might think that the gunners don't have any bullet in their gun, but will take some shots on that day.

I agree, they do look great for the time being, but that doesn't mean that we are going to get them to do very well, we should be considering if they are going to end up with anything good or not based on what they can do. I hope that people could realize that Bayern may still end up losing, I do not expect them to win UCL this season, meaning they are going to lose somewhere, and that place may or may not be where we think it is.

This is why I believe that we should be considering the situation to be a little bit different. I hope to see things changing, and Bayern getting better but I doubt that would be this late into the season, it will probably take some time to get this much better. I hope to see them do well next season instead.

Indeed, that cannot be used as a reference, but at least we can see how Bayern Muncih was defeated in that match, even when they acted as hosts and were the team that was the favorite to win this match. With this result, Arsenal seemed to get a breath of fresh air over what was achieved by Bayern Munich. Indeed, this match is different, but Arsenal also definitely realizes what they have to do so that they can do the same thing as Borussia Dortmund.
On the other hand, Bayern Munich must immediately forget about this defeat, because if they don't forget it quickly then maybe it will affect their mentality. You also need to remember that this is the Champions League and mentality is really needed when in this competition.
