I said it on Saturday night, and I’ll say it today, something special is brewing at Arsenal.
Mikel Arteta’s men have had their doubters throughout the season but have shown their maturity in the title race this season, which was epitomised in their impressive 3-0 win away at Brighton.
They sit top of the Premier League, due to a better goal difference than Liverpool, but tonight is a chance for them to show they can handle the pressure in Europe too.
The Champions League is a completely different ball game, many teams who have dominated in their respective league have struggled to translate that form in Europe.
While many people are expecting the Gunners to sweep aside Bayern Munich due to the differences in form, the Bavarian side still have several players that can cause them problems, including Harry Kane.
Form can go out the window in the Champions League knockout stages, so Arsenal will have to make sure they are in top form tonight.
