Iconic former Manchester United defender Gary Neville is concerned about how Arsenal will cope against Bayern Munich.
Arsenal are set to take on Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final showdown on Tuesday.
The first leg of this continental face-off will take place in North London. Arsenal will have a boost for this match as Bayern Munich will not be allowed to bring any of their fans with them into the Gunners’ ground.
On top of that, Mikel Arteta’s side is coming into this encounter in far better form than the German giants. Bayern Munich is now about to miss out on the Bundesliga title for the first time since 2012, as Bayer Leverkusen is now one win away from sealing to championship and has a 16-point lead over Thomas Tuchel’s men.
Are Arsenal ready for Bayern Munich test?
Meanwhile, Arsenal are in flying form. They returned to the top of the Premier League table with an efficient 3-0 win over Brighton last time out and are unbeaten in the top flight of English football since the turn of the year.
Jamie Carragher is convinced that Arsenal have what it takes to beat Bayern Munich. However, the Gunners have not competed at this stage in Europe’s elite club competition for 14 years and will have to show that they can handle the pressure of the occasion.
The visitors also possess plenty of elite-level quality in their ranks, despite their poor domestic form. The likes of Harry Kane, Serge Gnabry, Jamal Musiala, and Leroy Sane, amongst others, can hurt the Gunners. It has been suggested that Bayern Munich have more individual quality in their squad than Arsenal.
