We cannot deny if Arsenal this season is still better than last season including when they could reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League as it is today, Arsenal's performance in the league is still better than Munich which in the domestic league is actually very down and even they lost this season's dominance over the Bundesliga after every season in control.

But can the performance in the league be our reference to assess the performance of Munich and Arsenal in the Champions League?
Yes maybe you can, but not entirely it will affect in my opinion, because after all the mentality of the two different teams in the league at the moment may not have too big an influence when they play in the Champions League, all we know is that the atmosphere of the game in the Champions League is very tight compared to the league because here we use the knockout phase where the team will be eliminated if they lose in two legs,  And of course this allows all teams to bring out their abilities to beat each other to reach the next round, and of course in addition to the performance and quality of the team, mentality and experience also have a strong influence on the team when playing in the Champions League in this case it is clear that Bayern Munich is superior from Arsenal,So it is quite natural that many members here doubt Arsenal's capacity to reach the semi-finals although it is not impossible for Arsenal.

I don't believe that Bayern Munich will be able to remove Arsenal from the champions league this year. Arsenal is no longer that fragile team they used to be. Arteta has succeeded in transforming this team, that they are now a threat to any team they face. The game is very much balanced, Bayern is having a poor season domestically while Arsenal are having a wonderful season. This clearly makes Arsenal the favourite team to win and qualify.

I do not agree with you, Arsenal form so far is beyond the premier league, don't forget that they are also in the Champions League where they played from the group stage to the stage where they are now without their forn they will not be in the quarter finals to play against Bayern Munich, Arsenal has got a lot of form and experience in the champions league just like Bayern Munich I think the performance of Bayern should be considered right now because Arsenal may end up defeating them since they are not as strong as they use to be.

Arsenal's performance is extraordinary this season, they have improved quite drastically compared to last season, I agree with that but we also have to look at it as a whole, their good performance is only in the domestic league, in the Champions League match they are not that strong, an example of this is the match round of 16 against Porto, they escaped with great difficulty and a little luck.

I see that Arsenal's problem is that they don't have a strong mentality/confidence when playing against top teams and that is the opposite of Bayern Munich.

If you look at the performance of the two teams, there will probably be a pretty fierce match between Arsenal and Bayern Munich, but I think that Bayern Munich's percentage of qualifying is greater than Arsenal's.

Arsenal may be in their best form but that is mostly in their premiership league which is totally different from the champions league. When it comes to the champions league, a lot of things come into play and experience is at the front of the factors. Bayern Munic is obviously more experienced than Arsenal when it comes to the champions league. Arsenal have to try very hard to be able to overcome Munic that is favorite to qualify. Now that they are not likely to win their league, they will channel all their energy to the champions league unlike Arsenal that is also fighting very hard to win the English Premiership title.

very true, they are two matches highly anticipated by everyone, both fans and non-fans alike
for example, I am already organizing myself with friends to see them together with a nice drink and a nice beer

Let`s hope they are as fun as I hope they are
clearly a shame that no Italian team has managed to reach this point this season

Of course Arsenal players do not want to continue to be trapped in the club's past which was difficult to compete in this competition, they must take advantage of their quality when they are at the peak of their performance and increase their self-confidence in order to achieve their goal of breaking the club's record. They must try to break history at the level they currently have, they must also be able to get out of pressure by controlling the game so they are free to attack.

Beating a team like Bayern Munich is not an easy task, but they can do it as long as they are able to dominate the game like Leverkusen did in the Bundesliga. This season is a good opportunity for Arsenal to go further in the UCL, their solid performance must be maintained in order to maintain their chances of reaching the final round.

The work done by Mikel Arteta so far has been very good, Arsenal's performance is certainly very satisfying to all parties. Now that they are on the verge of opening a new history for the club, consistency in play must be maintained to achieve success at the end of the season.

Both teams are currently on same level with Barcelona is having decline due to lack of quality players and internal issues are giving them big setbacks and PSG is having good time as they are improving their quality and their player's depth is also good due to good work by Luis Enrique which is doing good work for the improvement of players quality and confidence level which is important for the top events.

Barcelona it surely needs some good work from their experienced players which are doing good but still having issues with their quality is not as we have in past but still they were able to bring down Napoli and now their chances are good for the having spot into last four which could be surely bonus for them in these conditions.

There is no doubt things are going to be tough in big matches and losing their top players are going to be setback for the big clubs which is happening due to useless international friendlies which give this all and now soccer fans are going to face consequences as well with clubs which spend huge funds are also having not good situation due to these injuries.

Now we have few days left in quarterfinals, and we have no updates about few top players which are having injuries creating chaos but still things are needed to be fixed as they have acceptable for the all stakeholders even few clubs are having replacements but still this all is going to be worst for them as they will not able to have their first choice players which were at his best and giving them good success through their quality.

The fact is, Bayern Munich needs hard work to beat Arsenal who are in their best performance, it is not an easy job to beat a team that is performing impressively, while Bayern Munich performance itself is considered unstable this season. Overall, the strengths of Arsenal and Bayern Munich are currently fairly equal, meaning no one looks more dominant, Tuchel squad have simply had a better reputation in the Champions League, but this season Arsenal are different and they should no longer be underestimated.

Bayern Munich clearly cannot underestimate the current Arsenal, and in my opinion don't expect a goal massacre like before because Bayern Munich squad is no longer ideal, even though Harry Kane is there, it's still not enough to silence Arsenal under Arteta control. I guarantee that this match will be very difficult for Bayern Munich to control, and Muller, who always underestimates his opponent, this time has to take back his words. For many people Arsenal may not be the favorite, but statistically the Arsenal squad playing at home is in a positive trend.

I am sure Arsenal players are not thinking about past as their current performance and quality is amazing and with this level of game they can change the history which is now into their hands with they needed confidence and better depth for beating team like Bayern Munich which is also not at the level which was they had in past due to transition period even they are going to give their best in this match as this is only chance for them to have any trophy after losing their all chances in Bundesliga.

Mikel Arteta is doing good job and his strategy is having good results for him which are clearly indicating they are on verge of changing history and going to have their best in this event after decades of bad results, Arsenal is now clearly looking for the success in all events.

I see Bayern's official Twitter account has posted this, too. This statement was coming from Tuchel, who confirmed that if Kane is fit, he will be able to play in the upcoming game. Kane is more than just a striker despite his excellent performance this season; he was also able to help his teammates. Even raphael has also stated that if kane is amazing striker but he was not only striker. He is also making 7 assist this season combined with 31 goals from 26 MP on bundesliga. It was amazing stats and kane target lewandowski's record to be surpassed this season even though if munich is not likely winning the trophy this season.



Arteta was rarely using defensive gameplay. It seemed to me that if arsenal will to with the offensive gameplay against bayern munich soon. This is kane's first time to meet arsenal again after he left from EPL last season. It will be a very interesting match to watch.

We have been fighting enough and having sleepless nights lately due to the extremely good form of our team and also most of us have been worried due to the poor shape of these teams we support. There's rumors circulating fast about Arsenal sitting in the balance proportion to beat Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League this season. However it is understandable how fierce and consistent the Gunners have grown to be but when it comes to playing elite teams in UCL, they're having a little bit challenge, exactly what Xavi Hernandez is striving to work on. He will achieved this aim but it's all a process.

We will see whether Arsenal will have revenge on those horrible times. First I saw the news like Kane wouldn't be able to recover until mid April but now it looks like he is ready to play even in the next game. He is a crucial player for Bayern Munich right now because of being very productive you know. If he wasn't able to play Arsenal defense might be a little more relieved.

Arsenal players should play bravely and I believe they will.    I mean I don't expect Arteta to adopt a defensive game. It wouldn't fit the character of the squad either. They need to play an effective attacking game to have more chance in this matchup.

We all have our own views on the game, you say if Barcelona will lose the game but I personally actually see Barcelona have the same chance as PSG to beat each other, yes we admit Barcelona's performance these few seasons is not as good as before but when looking at their last 10 matches including when eliminating Napoli from the Champions League,  Of course, Barcelona cannot be underestimated at this time, when PSG have Mbappe, of course, Lewandoski, who has a lot of experience in various leagues, will also be very dangerous for PSG defense later.

I think the two teams so far have been quite evenly matched in terms of strength, so mentality and experience will be important factors that make a team superior in that game, I personally am not a Barcelona fan, but instead I see if Barcelona will be able to qualify for the semi-finals compared to PSG, rumors of Mbappe's move to Madrid next season admittedly or not certainly have an influence on PSG's game and honestly PSG this season is worse than the season then in terms of their performance and quality of play, so that's why I'm pretty sure that Barcelona will be able to beat PSG even if it's a bit difficult in the match .

There is too much talk about these two teams about their history but in recent performance I have feeling Arsenal is far ahead of the Bayern Munich with in 2024 we have just one lost for the Arsenal and Bayern Munich having 3 loses and 1 draw mean it's clearly showing how they are going with their recent performance and this could be surely interesting how Arsenal will handle them in first leg game at the Emirates Stadium because this is the most important thing for them if they are able to have something positive then surely we can expect they could be in pool position.

Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund is good rivalry, but currently Dortmund is not in position to face them with their performance which is on decline, and currently they are facing task to secure their top fourth spot which is looking not easy while we have RB Leipzig is also on good run and have better chance, but this match surely gives better review about their future with their current season is one of the worst in Bundesliga.

As football fans, of course we want to see the performances of the best players, which makes competition tight and most of the best players are in big clubs. If these big clubs play without their best players, this will certainly make it difficult for the club itself because its performance will decline and for Do we see a game without the best players when they are fighting each other to the next round? Isn't that too risky, as fans we definitely don't want to see our favorite club, one of the players gets injured because he will be absent and won't be able to help the club. Especially if he is a the coach's mainstay players will certainly make the coach feel frustrated having to rack his brains to rotate his players and create effective strategies.

Big clubs without the best players are like vegetables without "tasteless" salt. Big clubs have a lot of finances so it's natural to get the best players and as much as possible they are always used in big competitions, not just in domestic competitions, so it's really strange when we see big clubs playing. without the best players, this is very detrimental for the club itself unless a key player is injured.

With fewer matches remaining for bayern leverkusen and munich, it appears that Bayern Munich has no chance of surpassing its competitor but it's only able waiting for the miracle to happen considering the fact that if leverkusen is still continue its good trend. In my opinion, if this is a disaster for the club because Bayern Munich has been completely dominating the league for more than ten years which was unbelievable to happen, then Bayern Munich's dominance must be put in the hands of Xabi Alonso, who has been one and half year in bayern leverkusen. This is amazing result from xabi alonso.
Bayern Munich deserved much better than this disappointing result but since tuchel was not able performing like when he was at chelsea and yeah bayern must accept this as the result. That is why Bayern decided to part ways with Tuchel as the management and officials are unsatisfied with the result from him, as the club had been experiencing numerous issues since Tuchel's arrival as head coach. This is also causing fans to be negative towards the club and it may still continue till next season if bayern will keep him much longer in the club.

Die Rotten does not have a lot of momentum to make the Bundesliga this season. The club must be fully prepared to lose the Bundesliga this season. It appears that Leverkusen is leading the competition, with significant gaps to Bayern Munich. It's only a matter of time before Bayern Munich fans see Leverkusen players celebrating their Bundesliga victory this season.
It's so hard for them all because Bayern Leverkusen has worked so hard to defend its record for the past ten years. Leverkusen is finally able to break Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga. This sounds really good.

The two matches that will be held in the quarter finals will surely be the most interesting matches of this season of the Champions League and the team that will be leading between these two matches will advance to the semi finals. 

The two legs of the quarter-finals will be tough for Manchester City and Real Madrid, but the next steps will be much easier for those who can overcome this hurdle. If Real Madrid go to the semi-finals, they will not have a tough opponent like Manchester City in the semi-final and final matches. On the contrary, if Manchester City goes, they will not get a tough opponent like Real Madrid. That is, considering all these things, we will consider the two quarter-final matches between Manchester City and Real Madrid as the most exciting matches of this season.
