Mikel Arteta (Arsenal coach, before hosting Bayern Munich in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League): “Bayern is a top team. I am a big fan, a big admirer of Thomas Tuchel. When I see the way they play, collectively, I learn a lot from him. When you look at Bayern and analyze their game in depth, you understand why they are a great team.
We are well prepared, we have to play our game. If we do that, we will have a chance to win. The past between the two teams is history. When we look at history, they have a real nature to perform in big moments. For us, that remains to be proven. Harry Kane? We know that Bayern have great individuals, him in particular. He has great qualities. The best thing to do is to counter their forces collectively. »
Gabriel Jesus (Arsenal striker): “No team in the world is perfect. We’re talking about Bayern. Everyone knows his story. They have won the C1 several times, not to mention titles in the Bundesliga. Everyone knows the quality of this club, the incredible quality of their players. It doesn’t mean anything if they have had more difficulty in the last two or three matches. It remains Bayern. They can make us suffer. We really need to keep that in mind. It doesn’t matter if they lost a few matches, it’s still Bayern. »
