Arsenal are the favourites to win this game based on their current statistics and how they've performed as a team to reach this stage. Bayern Munich has been struggling for quite some time now, and as a result, they have given up hope of winning the Bundesliga title this season so early after Bayern Leverkusen has taken the lead and is still maintaining their consistent league form. Arsenal is still one of the best teams in the English Premier League, and they are still contenders for the title while also performing well in the Champions League. Arsenal does not have a good record against Bayern Munich, but in this game, they stand a chance to win and make it to the semifinals of the Champions League competition.

I don't think Arsenal will be able to defeat Bayern Munich in this quarter finals, I think Bayern will definitely win the match because they are facing Bayern Munich, they have not had luck against them before, let's see if Arsenal can get the opportunity and qualify to the semi finals this season, they need to work hard this time to get the chance and qualify, but it won't be easy for them, and I know why I'm saying Arsenal will definitely lose against Bayern Munich because they are But anything can happen because Arsenal have developed extremely well. They can have luck and overcome Munich in the game, but in time of experience players and coaches, I believe Bayern Munich has everything Arsenal lacks this season, and they will use their expertise to defeat Arteta in the Champions League. I appreciate how they draw all of the matches and will be curious to watch the small clubs in the competition now that they are all performing well in their leagues.

Madrid is lucky because they have fewer matches scheduled, while City have to play more domestic matches before the quarter final match takes place. Los Blancos automatically have better preparation, and have more rest time than City, but the chances of both teams are still difficult to predict. The quarter final match between City and Madrid deserves to be called a final that happened too early.

Madrid will have the ambition to avenge last season, and now they appear more prepared with a different squad depth. I predict, whoever comes out as the winner in that match, they have the potential to win a trophy. Because these two teams are very favorites to win the trophy this season, unfortunately the lottery brought them together too early this season.

Player injury and fatigue factors can influence the final result, where in the future both Pep and Ancelotti will be required to maintain the fitness of their key players in domestic matches. It cannot be denied that Los Blancos experience in the Champions League can help them in many aspects, but everything will be proven in the quarter final match.

If you compare the leagues and recent games, Arsenal seem to be the favorite. On the other hand, Arsenal have not performed well in the CL in recent years or have not qualified at all. Many Arsenal players are less experienced internationally than Bayern's players. That could end up being a decisive advantage in a knockout competition. Bayern also have the advantage of being able to concentrate more on the CL, while Arsenal are still in the middle of the championship fight. I favor Bayern in this match.

I'm Madridista. But, looking at the quarter final draw, it was quite surprising and worrying. Who would have thought that Real Madrid would have to meet Man City in this QF. Huffft, this will definitely be very difficult to do. Yes, you are right, Real Madrid is very experienced in the UCL. But what we see is their performance this season. And when compared with Man City, it seems that Man City is indeed stronger in terms of the composition and condition of their squad. So, this is quite worrying.

But, it won't stop there. Ancelotti certainly understands what kind of efforts they should make to conquer the EPL giant. It won't be easy. So Real Madrid really has to struggle a lot more, if they want to become winners. And again, this won't be easy.

It's a final too early, I don't like it. At least this should happen in the finals. I like Real Madrid and the second choice is Man City. They have to play at the beginning, I think it should happen in the final. Madrid lost the competition last year. It seems that today is also heavy. Madrid had to play at the Bernabeu for the 1st leg it was quite a detrimental draw. Because leg 2 there will be more pressure when playing in England. But I hope Big with Belingham Madrid can make a big surprise.

After seeing the draws of the champions league, I was like, we are going to have another champions league final in the quarterfinals like we did have one in the semifinals last season. I wasn’t expecting them both to meet now but it has happened again. Real Madrid is the most dominant team in this competition and Manchester City are the most consistent in form recently in all competitions they’re participating in. This is going to be a tough match that cannot be easily decided on the outcome of it. Both teams will be at their best in this match, and I can’t see one team been better than the other now. They both have equal chance to advance to the semifinals but it will indeed be a must watch match for everyone.

Arsenal meeting with Bayern Munich was a bit too scary for Arsenal to me, I wasn’t expecting Arsenal to meet Bayern Munich but rather Arsenal will play against Dortmund. The last time Arsenal featured in the champions league, they were eliminated by Bayern Munich after a 10-2 aggregate against them in their two leg matches against Bayern Munich. The current Arsenal are different from the last team that featured in the champions league match, so I don’t think history will repeat itself but Arsenal will fight their way through to the semifinals of the Champions League competition.

No, you didn't understand my point, I didn't want to belittle Arsenal. Just go back to the time when we saw the confrontation between Ronaldo and Messi and when the attention of the whole world was focused on the Clasico. In those days, Bayern was also strong and very often reached the Champions League final. City, Dortmund and Atlético were also top teams (Atlético had two Champions League finals against Real Madrid). The composition of these quarter-finals reminded me of those times, and if we go back to those times completely, instead of Arsenal we would rather remember Liverpool or Chelsea. But now it is obvious that Arsenal rightfully takes its place and before the last round of the Champions League they were rated even better than Bayern.

I don't think Arsenal becomes the favorite here. Although they are playing well in EPL, it can't guarantee anything for the match in UCL.
You can see Arsenal very difficult to qualify against Porto. Arsenal needs to play until penalty shootout. This indicated that Arsenal isn't so strong, the position in the EPL can't describe how strong Arsenal in UCL. If Arsenal is quite strong, they must be easy to beat Porto.

It is different with Bayern Munich. They looked quite good in Leg 2 against Lazio. Bayern Munich have no problem to defeat Lazio with 3 goals. If they were unable to win in Leg 1 against Lazio, I think it can be the impact of Red Card got by Upamecano. Well, as long as Bayern Munich can play with their main lineup, I'm sure Bayern Munich can beat Arsenal. It is not only about the record, but Bayern Munich squad quality also seems better over Arsenal.

I think the match is still balanced because anyway, you can imagine if PSV qualifies for the quarterfinals, then at least the team against PSV in the quarterfinals at least on paper will still be able to win. But, because PSV lost by Dortmund and then Dortmund will play against Atletico then yes, I think Dortmund and Atletico will be a balanced match because it seems like the quality of their performance is also not muchdifferent . But indeed, the match between Real Madrid v Manchester City was supposed to be the final match but they met in the quarterfinals, clearly a meeting that came too soon. Because in this way, at least the semi-final match is likely to ensure that the winning team in this match will have a good chance of getting the trophy. very interesting to look forward to

Of course, this is a repeat of last season between Manchester City and Real Madrid. Both teams already have different squad depths with several players leaving and coming, so both opportunities have changed. Real Madrid and Manchester City both have the chance to reach the semi-finals and whoever of them passes will be the favorite to go to the final.

No one is underestimating Manchester City even though Real Madrid have a lot of experience in the Champions League, if they do then I really believe Manchester City will punish Real Madrid more harshly than last season. I hope Manchester City can beat Real Madrid again this season in the quarter-finals and return to the final in two consecutive seasons, but I admit this is a very difficult thing.

This season we can see the strength evenly distributed among the teams that have qualified, so it is very difficult for us to predict how the match will end, the Madrid and Manchester City match is certainly a match that is indeed the center of attention of football lovers today, not only because both teams have strength and performance that is quite balanced at this time but of course the match will be a hot match as a place of revenge for Madrid After the previous season they were eliminated by Manchester city in the semi-finals 5–1 on aggregate.

The 5-1 defeat against Manchester City certainly embarrassed Madrid who from the beginning of the season were considered strong candidates to win the 2022/2023 season, after previously Madrid also managed to destroy Manchester City in the semifinals in the 2021/22 season, if we look at the head to head of the two teams so far, then we can see if Madrid and Manchester City always take turns in beating each other in the Champions League semifinals and of course this season we will also see The match between Madrid and Manchester City can be said to be a final that happened faster in the champions league and I think whoever wins that game will be one of the teams that enter the Champions League final this season.

Now that the quarter-finals are being played, there are no easy draw. Only the best teams are left. It's very difficult to know who will advance from now on. We can't say anyone has drawn an easy or difficult draw. From here on there is very little luck factor, talent and the side that plays better will win.
If Manchester City wanted to win the trophy, it doesn't matter if they beat Real Madrid in the quarter-finals or in the final, they were going to meet in the end. For Barcelona it was also interesting to face PSG, but this time without Messi. I'm torn between Arsenal and Bayern, I'm not sure which one is better. Out of all these teams, one of Atletico and Dortmund will stand out, despite their not so good position in the league, they are likely to play the semi-finals. This shows how big these clubs are.

It is difficult to imagine who will win, it may be true that Bayern Munich struggled in the first leg but in the second leg they easily won because they evaluated the previous game, now they meet this will be a lot of heated debate who will win he deserves.

Recently Thomas Muller greeted in the Video for the match against Arsenal he seemed excited to beat the Gunner and the confidence is still too high but I will not underestimate Arsenal's current ability because they could have dominated the game in their home game.

Historically, Arsenal doesn’t have a good record against Bayern Munich. They will be looking to change that story in the quarter finals. I get the feeling that Arsenal fans are quite confident in their abilities. Based on current form, it’s Arsenal for me. Bayern Munich have been struggling from the Bundesliga to the Uefa champions league. They even struggled against Lazio in their first leg. On paper, it’s looking like Arsenal are favorites to win this fixture.

The UCL is up and running and we’re already in the Quater Final of this phase and we’ve got some faces or teams we’ve not seen in a long while. Talking about the likes of Arsenal who’ve been absent from this competition in a while and haven’t been able to go past this phase in over 8 years and counting. Now this Arsenal team are in the last 8 after going past Porto on penalties they were able to prove why they should be in the last 8. You can see the jubilation from across the fans round the globe on their qualification.

 This also shows how improved this squad has grown and that is a big commendation for Arteta for the job he’s done. The main target for this team is to win at least a trophy as they still have about 2 titles in chase that’s the League and the UCL. Our main focus is the UCL and Arsenals chances of winning the UCL this season. We all know how young this Arsenal’s squad is and sincerely I don’t think they have the expertise to go about winning the UCL. The UCL is the Elite competition between clubs in Europe and for a team like Arsenal, you can’t in any way see them as favorites.

 We have got big teams like Real Madrid and Man City who are the favorites to win this competition this season. Well the Quater And Semi Final draws are out and we have the 2 favorites facing each other in the Quater Final with the winner to face whosoever wins the match between Arsenal and Dortmund. Yes, Arsenal can take out Dortmund but what’s the possibility of them being able to eliminate a team like Real Madrid who are the big boys of this competition with most of her players having huge experience. Arsenal just needs to focus on improving their play rather than starting to think of winning the UCL because that might not be a reality this season.

I can recall they was far from good when last they played in this round against Chelsea. Atletico Madrid are far ahead of them in the Champions League Competition. Mind you, Borrussia Dortmund is not the club you can rely upon. Last season they failed to do it for themselves by winning the Bundesliga League Competition, and you want to trust them in this Competition, the Champions League Competition? Against Atletico Madrid? You'd have to go back and rethink this honestly.

Diego Simeone is clear after beating his friend and team from them past day playing together. I did right off Atletico Madrid saying these and that but they wanted it more than I saw and that was all that matters.

For Arsenal, Lol! Can they shock us? I just be getting vivid scenes of the last Champions League Competition played against Bayern Munich. This show should be walkover, do you also think so?

I think I like the draws because everybody met his match, the weakest against the weakest and the strongest against the strongest.
It's a fair draw for me. The teams that have survived up to these point, have really maintained perseverance and consistency in their winning especially atletico Madrid because they are one team I didn't expect would get to these stage of the competition.

Real Madrid Vs Manchester City and Arsenal Bayern Munich are the highlights of these quarter finals stage, as they are currently the strongest teams in the competition at the moment, however i am not not disparaging the other teams because this is the game of football anything can happen, especially at these stage.

With the defeat of PSV Eindhoven and especially Inter Milan, Quarter-final games look way uneven between each other.
Real Madrid - Manchester City match should be a final one and could not be compared with Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund one for example. Manchester City are favourite although playing away.
PSG could pass against Barcelona in my opinion in Parc des Princes.
Arsenal - Bayern Munich is another game that could have unexpected results although gunners look better.

The Champions League quarter-final was just fair because these opponents seem to be in the same class. But I am just happy that Athletico Madrid will be meeting Burrusia Dortmund which means one of these teams will make it to the semi-finals. Diego Simone is a coach who cannot be underestimated because he understands all his players considering that he has spent more than thirteen years with the Spanish side. Predicting that Athletico will easily win against Dortmund is been unfair or underrating the German side. Both team have quality and the best side among them will win.
