ESPN, I love your show. I m watching all your Champions league and Europe League content. You have such good premier league experts like Craig and Steve. I found out this two guys are a cash cow. Every prediction they make, bet against them.
@@jacobadams2125and Bayern spanked Dortmund at their home too, and it seems very clear both Bayern and Dortmund are two very different teams in the UCL compared to the league
Because Man City fans knew that the only reason they beat Bayern is cause of Upamecano. Luckily for City, Upa did another disaster class and helped City and Bayern missed huge chances
Where are they? I think we still have a chance. Less than even but can do it lbut ess than 50% us hardly arrogant thinking we definitely going through. Arsenal will have to get rid of nerves and get confidence back or we definitely won't go through but Byern although good players aren't at peak and don't like manager and have gone put last 3 quarter finsls. Lets see. Still looking forward to Arsenal having a chance to turn season back on course
That level of desperation will cost them, they will have a lot of pressure, I think Mikel will defend and make counter attacks. I see Martineli starting Today.
In form Gnabry is a loss. Davies not so much. Neuer and Sane will start., although we know Sane is only good for 60min atm. Tel should get a starting nod and show his talent. Muller might have his moment. Hard to trust either team atm. But at home and given recent results, Bayern can do this.
Davies did ok on Saka in the first leg. Yes, Saka scored. But he didn't do a whole lot more throughout the match. With no Davies, Saka could have more of an influence.
The most recent result (Dortmund's) might prompt Bayern to make an example of Arsenal. Not even the most demotivated Bayern player will let it stand that Dortmund went further in Champions League than them.
@@zenmonk5403 this is a great point. Bayern will not allow both Dortmund and Leverkusen to have better seasons than them. That would be too humiliating.
How do i explain to people that a terrible bayern munich team this season beat arsenal that is top 3 in epl so if bayern actually progress tonight to the semi in the form they are in it mean that Liverpool and City is competing against an averaged side all this time for the trophy or epl have some real terrible teams that couldnt beat arsenal all this time to make them top 3 🤔
If Arteta doesn't tinker with the squad and goes with the usual i.e. Rice, Jorginho/Partey, Odegaard in midfield then they will perform better. If he decides to play the same XI that faced Villa, Arsenal will most likely go out. Bayern will be a good test and are favourites being home but they are without a few key players through injuries and suspension. They are more than capable of playing well or collapsing and have had a far worse season than Arsenal. You can say there is pressure on Arsenal going to Germany but there's also pressure on Bayern to not lose as it would ensure their season is a disaster. Arsenal going out to Bayern wouldn't mean their season is a disaster as they haven't been in the UCL for approximately 8 years so the fact they've made it this far in their first season is an achievement in itself - I don't think anyone expected them to go this far. At the end of the day, it is highly likely that irrespective of which team progresses, neither of them will get past City or Real in the semifinals.
it may work in Arsenal's favor, if they can defend like they did at the Etihad. they may get one or 2 goals in counter and go through. though I have always favored Bayern given their pedigree
I’m a Gooner. The lads are definitely capable of beating Bayern. But I hate to say it but I can’t see us winning tonight. I think we will be too nervous and Bayern will smell the fear and trash us. Hope I’m wrong tho
Arsenal were dominant until jorginho came in in the 79th minute and gave the ball away. I do prefer him over havertz but don't act like this is arteta's foult
Bayern will be playing at home. They have a history and tradition in the Champions league unlike Arsenal. They have not won the Bundesliga this year and will be looking to do well in the Champions league. I think Bayern will win easily like a walk in the Park.
i dont know, i want bayern to win becuase i want kane to get hopfully some silver, but also arsenal, becuase i like saka and declan hmmmm, i think bayern will just win this. from experience.
So Bayern play Arsenal at home in the first leg WHITHOUT FANS, and they still took a draw home. So Arsenal fans had barely any impact on the game... they walk out after a loss last week..and now they expect to win in Munich when the whole Allianz Arena will be packed with Bayern fans? Lets not forget that Bayern lives for these type of games. They might not win it playing the best fotbal.. but they will go trough
I can't believe I agree with Craig. It's such a plus when you can sub speed in. Without Gnabry, Davies and Coman + a Sane who's going to be slow because of his injury,i don't see bayern being able to apply pressure. If Arsenal is focused theycan dismantle the fake left and right back bayern will have
I truly can see Arsenal advanceing to the next round. They're disciplined and organized team. When they perform at their best, they can beat any team in the world. My prediction is 3 -2 Arsenal.
They say Farmers League lmao 🤣 … Leverkusen ist going for the UEFA Cup FCB Semi Final CL so as Dortmund … y’all espn expert are some clowns 🤡 for real !!!
German Dude here. Are these american "experts"? Second time watching ... wuh they know not even 1% of what the average german fan knows. Maybe buy some quality moderators ESPN?
by the way none of the defenses are very good so is probably going to be a 3-2 for Bayern. there's no chance for Bayern to win the match 1-0 thats for sure
There's gonna be a bus park tommorow the bayern players will get frustrated and arsenal will score a counter ask man city about the bus park at the etihad
@@Alejandro2oh9park the bus like cowards yeah. And you need pace on the counter which saka or Haverz dont have. Arsenal are very predictable you saw it against bayern in the first leg and also against villa.
@@donjoseph5042 It's already happened when you see the fact City will lose to Madrid on pens. They look not special against big teams, unlike the last season. How many wins they got against Big 6 teams in Premier League this season?
Nonsense.. If you remember that you were always a casual.. He was the best striker in the epl both stints he had at hotspurs, and him being a diver was BS made up by English yellow press
Arsenal have already started their choke in the prem, I'm getting the popcorn ready for bayern to dispose of them in the champions league aswell. 3-0 bayern.
@@gunterleba they beat us cuz they were better, not because they lost their home title. Barca lost their home title and were still eliminated. Losing a title doesn't win games, tactics and good players do.
They already have Nübel ready, he's on loan to Stuttgart (currently no. 3 in Bundesliga), is a 1996-model and will be ready wehn Neuer steps down (likely after 2025).
İ d say Bayern as bad as u would wish as an opponent. So u dont have to be a great team to eliminaye them. İdk if it will happen but Arsenal can do it, 50 50.
Even if Bayern beat Arsenal today, they are not going beyond the City games. Bayern have been eliminated in the quarters in the last three years. Bayern have better players than Arsenal and Arteta is inexperienced in Europe.
As predicted by most...Arsenal will be knock out by Bayern tonite. Arsenal doesn't have a lot of european football experience as compared to Bayern. We know Bayern has been participating in the champions leagues for more than a decade. I think Bayern was lucky to draw a team with no european experience like Arsenal instead of facing very strong teams like City, Real Madrid or even PSG. Bayern would make it to the semi-finals together with PSG, Dortmund and City. Real Madrid wont stand a chance against City tonite.
and then they will claim it will help focus on the PL like it did last year. Such an embarrassing team with overrated players like Saka who always disappears in Spring.
Not with Harry Kane in the team... with all that goals come with a Curse.. The Spursy Curse and this Genius Tuchel add Eric Dier Also... to Cemented The Curse even more to Bayern..
From last season to this season, Arteta has put together a strong, competitive team, and he deserves credit for that. But, as an Arsenal fan, I think we have reached our ceiling for the season. I do not see us winning this game or anything, trophy wise, for the season. I hope we do, but its unlikely. My pessimism started with the first Porto game, where we had 0 or something similar shots on goal (we had scored 31 goals in 5 or so games before that game).
