What I saw when Arsenal faced Bayern Munich in the Champions League was that Arsenal's performance was not as strong as it is now and maybe this season will be different not like the last time they met, while Bayern Munich themselves experienced a setback in the Bundesliga and don't seem as strong as before when they met in the League Champions, but what is doubtful is that Arsenal have not competed in the Champions League for a long time and the last time was in the 2016/17 season. So Arsenal is slightly behind Bayern Munich who have good experience every season so it is very difficult for Arsenal to get rid of Bayern Munich even though Arsenal's current condition is very good in Premier League but that cannot be used as a benchmark.

But at least Arsenal is still trying hard and doesn't just give up even though what he is facing are Bundesliga giants and hopefully the events of the 2016/17 season will not happen again for Arsenal because it will be very painful for him. Mikel Arteta will prepare the best strategy he can. After all, when Arsenal was defeated by Bayern Munich, Arsenal has not been coached by Mikel Arteta, who knows, this season the coach will show his prowess in the Champions League this time, don't let his efforts be in vain. I really support Arsenal to advance to the round semifinal this time.

Well Inter Milan will definitely try harder and be more ambitious next season after they managed to lift the Serie A trophy this season and will be more excited for the upcoming UCL. Hopefully what happened to Napoli does not happen to Inter Milan. That is, like Napoli, which actually experienced a setback after winning the title in Serie A. But I am sure that Inter Milan will indeed be even better. Because I didn't hear their coach was going to leave them.

Inter Milan's early defeat also seems to have had an impact on their performance in Serie A. Because recently Inter Milan also couldn't beat Napoli and could only hold Napoli to a draw. I think the mentality of the Inter Milan players has still not improved after their defeat in the UCL.

Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid are at same level in quality but Inter Milan played better in both matches. The surprise is they failed to convert their better performances to final win in aggregated result. It is their failure and at Champions League level, in knock out matches, when their players wasted not only one but many opportunities, they deserved to lose that match.

The last season, Inter Milan were not considered too high but they went to the final match and even challenged Manchester City seriously in that final. This season is different, as Inter Milan shown their improvement and it's nothing wrong to say they become stronger in this season, in both Serie A and Champions League.

Being a stronger team than themselves one season ago but losing earlier, is not a comfortable result for Inter Milan. They will come back next season with ambitious target to go farther than round of 16.

And sometimes there are even more surprises in the quarter-finals. Because actually almost all matches are very difficult for us to predict now. Even if it is a match between clubs who are favorites or not. Because Inter Milan could lose surprisingly in the round of 16. So it won't be surprising if in the end many of the favorite teams will also have to stop in the quarter-finals, leaving teams that we didn't expect to move forward at all. Because at UCL it's always like that. Last season, many people didn't expect Inter Milan to go further, but they were able to go further. And this season the opposite happened, that is, many thought that Inter Milan would be able to go further, but in reality they even had to be eliminated early, namely in the round of 16. And it looks like there will be more surprises coming in the quarterfinals. But it would be quite a big surprise if Man City could only reach the quarter-finals. Because this will create a unique moment where last season's runner up team was only able to advance to the round of 16. And last season's title holder also stopped in the quarter-finals.

Intermilan was stronger than Dortmund if we are looking back at the history being made by intermilan as a runner up of UCL last seaso. Atletico Madrid would be able to win the match against Dortmund. We've seen last season and now how perfect Inter Milan is in the UCL and domestic league, but Atletico can beat them. Despite the fact that it's difficult for Atletico Madrid to beat some small clubs in La Liga. I think this can be solved soon by simeone to push the performance from atletico madrid to perform better.

I hope so, but we'll see how good Atletico Madrid's performance is soon. Hopefully, some improvements will happen then. I don't underestimate Dortmund, but this can be a tougher game for Atletico Madrid, especially if reaching the semi-final becomes the main motivation, which could improve the club's performance.
Atletico Madrid must if it needs to win the first leg. No key players are injured here, and Atletico Madrid could get a golden opportunity to defeat Dortmund.

The thing is Arsenal will have to think about both the Champions League and the English Premier League at the same time. But Bayern Munich is going to go all out on the champions League competition because that is the one competition they have some hope about. They are not winning the Bundesliga title. So they will try desperately to win the champions League title. That's why I think it is going to be tough for arsenal too to win against Bayern Munich in the champions League competition.

Yes, I also agree with you. Both Man City and Real Madrid are in top form. In a narrow lane, Real Madrid and Man City faced each other again for the fourth consecutive season in the Champions League. The rematch between Real Madrid and Man City in the quarterfinals of this year's Champions League promises to continue to be a tense match. Man City will continue to defeat Real Madrid this season. In terms of player quality, Man City is still better. Although the talents of the two coaches are equal. Real Madrid can only be firm when they get the final piece of the puzzle, Kylian Mbappé. Only then will they dominate this Europe. Regarding the current squad, Real Madrid cannot overwhelm Man City.

The Champions League matchup between Bayern Munich and Arsenal has sparked a lot of interest in the competition, and many people have expressed their opinions and thoughts on how the match will play out despite the clear statistics from their previous meetings. I also believe that this year's Arsenal team is different from the ones we were familiar with when they competed in the Champions League several years ago.

This Arsenal team are not fragile, and no team in the Champions League will find it easy to win them. Their league performance and current position should be a clear indication of how strong and consistent Arsenal is this season, as they fight tirelessly to win a trophy after quite a while.  They should not be underestimated by Bayern Munich, but rather considered one of the most formidable opponents in Europe they will face this season.

Although that arsenal match vs Bayern Munich will be very tough match, I agree with that but give that it will be difficult for Arsenal to get the chance to overcome Bayern Munich in this champion league I don't believe that. Because with the arsenal performance currently now everyone know say arsenal are capable to beat any team they meet with arsenal can definitely have a high opportunity to defeat Bayern Munich in easily, even though that Bayern Munich always qualify for the champion league every season, should know that this season it will be very difficult for them to qualify.
I think is better that you don't want to predict the match  early since no body know what is going happened, but with the old that gives to arsenal they really deserve the old because they know what Arsenal can I'm very sure that they can try as much as possible put much effort and bring out a positive results against Bayern Munich. Arsenal can definitely dominate this first leg for them to advance to the semi-final.

The statistical analysis of Gunners have made huge positive improvement and any opponents coming their path, they ensured they cleared them with brief history. Arsenal are formidable and strong this season, they're exceptionally having great time and Mikel Arteta will try his best to maintain the potential form of these players. Arsenal might be underperfoming in all these previous season but this one is different. Mikel Arteta, the players will definitely shoots huge shoot because they're so desperate to lift a title.

I don't know why, but I also feel the same, seriously, I also think that Bayern Munich will continue to the next round.

That happened.
But, that is a simple argument happened between the two. that actually related to what Pep wants for De Bruyne. namely that he wants de Bruyne to do simple things for his performance. I think that it's a normal criticism from a coach to player. And this might be Pep Guardiolla's explanation:

But, the condition is better after that happened. This actually normal if happened among  the coach and players, right?

This is the second time consecutively that we are going to be having another game played which people had assume is going to be a final match between two big teams earlier than expected. Manchester City and Real Madrid are the two most favourite teams in this competition that have the tendency of winning the cup without much doubts about it. This is not about home advantage again, it’s going to be the biggest match in the champions league this season just like it was last season.

I still feel anyone that prevails in this match will most likely be the person to win the champions league competition as all other teams won’t be an hinderance to any team that qualifies. Although this is football and anything can happen when you least expect it. This is my view about the competition, I might be right or wrong, but time will tell.

I am also surprised that he mentioned Bayern Munich as among the title contenders. It is right to believe that everyone that qualified to the round of 8 is a title contender. But for Bayern Munich under Thomas Tuchel, I have never regarded them as being formidable. I believe the club is lossing that aura of German Machine in them. The Bundesliga title they won last season was just narrowly stollen from Dortmund and from that time there's no significant improve in their play style. Even if Bayern Munich will struggle to go past Arsenal, which I am not sure, they will likely not succeed in the next round.

If you look at the track record of the two teams in the Champions League, Bayern Munich really deserves to be the favorite when facing Arsenal. Regardless of performance Bayern Munich performance in the Bundesliga, Tuchel squad also has the opportunity to beat Arsenal, even though Arsenal is in better condition. Tuchel is very experienced against Arsenal, as is striker Kane, which is an added value for Bayern Munich. Arsenal should be a club that should be more alert and not the other way around.

Referring to away or home matches, of course it is always a matter of debate because every team might perform better when they play at home, especially if they have mastered everything better. But for these two teams, maybe that doesn't matter too much because we know that these two teams have the same experience and mentality whether they are playing at home or away. However, in the next match, I think whoever wins the first leg will have a better chance of advancing to the next round. However, it is also very difficult for me to predict the final result of these two teams because they are strong teams, perhaps a win with a narrow score would be the ideal score.

Now, talking about the performance of the coaches of these two teams, of course they have quite good tactics in formulating their plans when facing equally strong teams. Pep Guardiola is of course no stranger to Real Madrid because he already knows how to beat them. But Ancelotti is a coach full of experience, of course he also has his own way of repelling Manchester City in the first leg.

Well, at least Bayern Munich seems to be getting back into good shape at the right time regarding the Champions League. They missed the train in the Bundesliga obviously and I thought for a few weeks that they would get destroyed in the Champions League if they can't solve most of their problems rather sooner than later, but now it seems to me that they must be taken very seriously again. It's hard to tell whether there is one team here that has an edge, but I think Bayern Munich does have an edge as they have this angriness about their performance in the Bundesliga and desperately want to make up for that.

I see a whole lot of comments about the fixture between Arsenal and Bayern Munich but then I personally think that Bayern Munich may possibly have a better chance in that they do seem more pressured than Arsenal is because they have only the champions league as a trophy to help their relevance this season, they have lost in most of the major leagues where they find their selves so this is their opportunity.

Arsenal I think is less experienced when compared to Bayern Munich in the champions league, considering that Bayern Munich has won over three champions league trophies although not in a sequence but the fact still remains that they have won the champions league very often and may ha e a good level of experience handling the champions league but in a case as this it's actually looking really different but we are hopeful they will be able to scale through because others too wants to win the same trophy aswell and so the competition is really high and demanding aswell.

If Arsenal gets to win Bayern Munich they will be lucky to getting to the semifinals of the champions league after a very long time and they have only gotten to the finals a few times but not winning the trophy so it's really a daunting task for arsenal as it's not what they have got enough experience was compared to their experience, although Arsenal looks very good in their form this season I still feel they will find it difficult against Munich.

I believe anyone who underestimates this current Bayern Munich team might be in for a big surprise. I know that Arsenal has been terrifying for most of this season and Bayern on the other hand, has been inconsistent so much that Tuchel will be leaving at the end of the season. But I still believe that they will put up a strong fight against Arsenal. We saw how much Porto proved to be a hard nut for Arsenal to crack and how much Porto gave Arsenal a run for their money during their knockout stage encounter.

I have enjoyed Arsenal games this season and they have made me win most of my singles bets this season but I cannot deny the kind of threat that Bayern Munich pose to them. That said, I am neutral for the quarter-final clash between Arsenal and Bayern.

Of course it won't be easy for Bayern Munich when they visit the Emirates Stadium, because Arsenal 2017 is not the Arsenal managed by Mikel Arteta's squad with its players. so, it looks like this match will present an interesting battle. and what is certain is that these two coaches, both Arteta and Tuchel, have studied their respective strengths and weaknesses. IMO, this match will present an exciting and very interesting battle, because Bayern will not easily overthrow Arsenal. Maybe it's the same for Arsenal, Arteta's squad must work hard to overthrow their opposing team. Interestingly, both teams employ an offensive system. So, it seems there will be buying and selling attacks from the two teams fighting in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Even though Bayern has more experience, their performance is in a state of ups and downs.

On the other hand, Arsenal have the advantage of playing the first leg at home, Arteta will do his best when hosting Bayern Munich and so will Thomas Tuchel. The Champions League competition provides more opportunities for Bayern than the Bundesliga trophy which is 10 points behind Leverkusen. It's just that, referring to the betting market, for the time being the bookie is favoring Arsenal. So, so we can be sure, let's just wait for the battle between these two teams to take place.

I have no doubt that we will see a good match. I would like to see these two teams full of star players meet in the final, but it doesn't really matter because these two great teams will play their best football whether in the final or in the quarterfinals. It is very difficult to predict the outcome of the matches between the two teams because both teams have star players.

I don't think the home field advantage will be very important in this match, both teams know what it means to play away. The important thing is to take advantage of the goal positions they will find.
