Premier League leaders Arsenal are a brave Gunners on the green pitch of the English Republic, hosting Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League round of eight.
Bayern's recent sluggish form has made many fans more optimistic about the Premier League team's victory.
The battle for supremacy between the top three in the Premier League is in full swing, and it is still a suspense who will have the last laugh and become the ultimate king.
However, in this fierce contest, Arsenal seem to have grasped the opportunity to win the title.
With only seven games remaining, they are level on 71 points with Liverpool and are firmly at the top of the Premier League with the advantage of goals scored and conceded. The last champions, Manchester City, followed by one point, forming a magnificent picture of the top three.
Arsenal's recent form can be described as overwhelming, with 11 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat in the last 13 games.
Their defence is rock solid, with four consecutive games without conceding a goal, showing great defensive quality. At the same time, their attacks are fierce like a storm, making it difficult for their opponents to parry.
Coach Mikel Arteta's side also showed their unity and morale in this title race.
Despite the troubles of injuries, they have overcome difficulties again and again with the tacit understanding and fighting spirit of the whole team.
Fans were full of praise for the three new signings they have brought in this season, and they have injected new energy and fighting power into the London team.
David Raya has firmly established himself as the team's number one goalkeeper as a new signing from Brentford.
Declan Rice and Kai Havertz, two new signings from West Ham United and Chelsea respectively, have been the immediate assistants to captain Odegaard in midfield. They have grown with the team and paved the way for a brilliant future together.
The matchup between the old rivals Bayern Munich and Arsenal is always full of highlights. The two sides have met four times before in the knockout stages of the Champions League, most recently in 2016/17.
Bayern have eliminated the Gunners in all four meetings and won 5-1 against the Premier League giants for the third time in a row. Such a historical record has undoubtedly added more confidence and confidence to Bayern.
But time flies, Bayern Munich, which was glorious in the past, has stopped outside the quarterfinals in the past four seasons since winning the eye-catching "Big Ears Cup" in the 2019/20 season.
This season, after the defeat of the German Super Cup and the German Cup, Bayern seems to have lost its former domineering, and the glory of 11 consecutive Bundesliga titles seems to be a thing of the past. And the Champions League has become the only ray of hope in their hearts.
And Arsenal gradually regained their former glory after being taken over by Mikel Arteta in 2019.
This season, under the leadership of the former Spanish player, they reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League again after many years.
On top of that, they have also won the Community Shield and are now competing in the Premier League against Manchester City and Liverpool.
In the face of such a strong Arsenal, if Bayern wants to compete with it, the key figure is none other than England striker Kane. This season, he has scored 38 goals and provided 12 assists in all competitions, showing his impressive quality.
Kane, who has been with Tottenham Hotspur for a long time and is still the top scorer in the north London derby, is undoubtedly a huge threat to the Gunners.
Arsenal have been all-encompassing, led by homegrown star Bukayo Saka, and have seven players in the squad who have reached double figures in goals and assists this season.
In recent games, Arsenal have won six consecutive home games, and have won all four games and not conceded a goal in the Champions League at the Emirates Stadium this season.
In contrast, Bayern's away performance has been somewhat dismal, with four defeats in the last six away games, including the first away loss to the "Blue Eagles" Lazio in the Champions League round of 16.
Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, as well as Leroy Sane, Coman and Mazraoui, have all returned to training in last weekend's Bundesliga fixture, but teenager Pavlovic remains out due to illness. As for Arsenal, only the old injured Timber will not be able to play.
Both teams will be going all out in the upcoming matches to fight for glory. Let's wait and see who will have the last laugh.
