CL Quarter Final Draw: Arsenal v Bayern

Who do we want? I’m praying @Rex Stone boys Atleti preoccupy themselves with Man City. We don’t want any business with them but I’ll be honest XL Bully Mik vs XL Bully Diego would definitely be a tasty affair

First leg helps us set up the second leg, it forces Arteta to attack from the start to get the advantage.

Think if we can get past Bayern and then get Madrid in the semis we can give them a good game.

Semi finals should be enough for me this season though. A great return to the CL.

If we do make it to Wembley though, I can’t see us getting past Atleti just yet. That would be Porto x 100.

 

[Sniper Mik]

Tough semi-finals if we go through but on the plus-side, if we actually make it all the way I'd strongly favour us in a final given the other side of the bracket. Especially given that the final will be played in London.

Anyone know whether we get to play 1st or 2nd leg home in a potential semi?

2nd leg home

Musiala….

Not wanting to play for Southgate:

Ben White Musiala

 

[Riou]

They’re even more of a glass cannon this year than they’ve ever been.

Atletico cruising in that tie MBappe or not.

Hope yous can win it if we can't, tbh.

Are Atletico still the team they used to be at their best in the mid 2010s ...can they win it, do you think?

 

[MikelHadADream]

Imagine we dispatched Bayern and Madrid to get to the final the lost to those cheating Cule bastards. I’d jump off tower bridge ffs.

The Emirates will be louder than against Porto for the first leg, particularly with no away fans to counter. It will be a hostile environment for Bayern, Kane in particular.

Is the inevitable Kane penalty a NLD exclusive?

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Ffs Thomas muller already smiling. Don't like it

 

[ArsenalInMyHeart]

I expect Havertz will be our key player for these games

Kai gave Tuchel a career, it’s only fitting that Kai is the one to put him down.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

wait I remember Bayern Munich have Eric Dier. Yeah we'll be fine

Ngl it’s Griezmann and inshallah. Back line is a lot weaker than any of our finalist teams.

More “streets won’t forget” vibes with guys like Memphis, Lino, De Paul and Correa in the squad. Bit of flair these days.

Also the meme factor of Gabriel Paulista winning a CL would be unreal.

He won't be when it's over. Robben and Ribery aren't going to carry him against a joke defense this time.

 

[Sanchez11]

Best draw imo, Love it.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

You never know what gonna happen injures to key players could happen at any time early to predict but I hope we have full squad here Tomi could play good part in this against Sane and Martinelli against their fullback but it's important Gabi Saliba Rice all be available

 

[boxerumble]

On the bright side you could argue that this makes our squad even stronger going into next season, surely.

 

[Synical]

So if we make it, we get Real or City in semi

I hope Real knocks them out

I wonder if they will allocate the away section to Arsenal fans?

Too sensible I'm guessing.

*EDIT*: The away end is usually left empty in these circumstances

 

[MikelHadADream]

I’ve been watching Arsenal for 20 years, and this is definitely the most exciting end to a season I can remember.

Potentially, we’ll be going to the Ethiad, Allianz, Old Trafford, ****hole, Bernabeu and Wembley in the space of 8 weeks. Just unreal.
