Arsenal are enjoying a sensational run of form, exemplified by their commanding 3-0 victory over Brighton and securing a spot in the quarter-finals after defeating Porto. Managed by Mikel Arteta, their young squad is in red-hot form, accumulating an impressive 31 points from their last 11 Premier League outings. Not only have they gained recognition for their potent attacking displays, but Arteta will also be pleased with their defensive resilience, having kept clean sheets in five of their last six matches across all competitions.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich finds themselves embroiled in a crisis this season. Their recent 3-2 defeat to Heidenheim, coupled with a managerial change looming as Thomas Tuchel prepares to depart, paints a grim picture. The 2-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund further intensified scrutiny on the team. Bayern’s woes are exacerbated by their struggles on the road, with just one victory in their last six away matches, including a defeat to Bochum.

Players to watch out

Martin Odegaard (Arsenal)

Throughout this season, Martin Odegaard has been at the forefront of the team’s efforts, contributing 17 goals/assists in all competitions this season. He assumes a pivotal role in Arsenal’s overall gameplay, seamlessly connecting defence with attack. As Arsenal get close to the semi-final, his influence will be indispensable as he applies constant pressure on opponents by relentlessly closing them down. He has been described as a leader just like David Beckham by pundits.

Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)

Harry Kane has emerged as a central figure, tallying 32 goals in the Bundesliga this season, shaping Bayern’s campaign significantly. His influence is undeniable, especially given his exceptional technique, characterized by his adeptness with both feet and precision in finishing. His role will be pivotal in the upcoming crucial match against Arsenal in London, where he made a name for himself. He is the first player in Europe’s top 5 leagues to register 50 goal contributions (38 goals and 12 assists) this season.
