Arsenal vs Bayern Munich Analysis
The Gunners are having a phenomenal campaign, and it genuinely feels like they may finally conquer the Premier League after back-to-back runner-up finishes. Mikel Arteta’s men are six points clear at the top of the table, and they just hammered Spurs in the North London derby on Sunday behind a hat trick from Eberechi Eze. Despite missing several players, Arsenal was still dominant, and their squad depth is unmatched.
Arteta’s side has looked just as sharp in the Champions League. Alongside Bayern and Inter Milan, the North Londoners have grabbed a perfect 12 points from four games in the competition. Last time out before the international break, the Gunners ran riot on Slavia Praha. They’ve also beaten Atletico Madrid, Olympiakos, and Athletic Club. Arsenal has kept a clean sheet in every European fixture while scoring 11 times. Flawless.
When you think about the most impressive sides on the globe three months into the season, Bayern is right there with Arsenal. Vincent Kompany has done a tremendous job at the Allianz Arena, guiding his team to a 10-1-0 start. They’re six points above second-place RB Leipzig, and Munich’s backline has conceded just eight times. The Bundesliga champions put six past Freiburg on Saturday, with five different players finding the net. Former Crystal Palace standout Michael Olise led the way with a brace.
In the Champions League, Bayern has been just as strong as their matchday-five opponents. They’ve collected victories against title-holders PSG, Club Brugge, Pafos, and Chelsea. They’ve scored 14 times and conceded only three. Harry Kane has accounted for five of those goals, and he makes his return to the red side of North London on Wednesday.
