Bayern Munich takes on Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-final. The German giants are having a turbulent season with a surprise elimination in November from the National Cup and disillusionment in the league.
Bayer Leverkusen, coached by Xabi Alonso, became German champion for the first time in its history after another victory (5-0 against Werder Bremen) last Sunday. Arsenal, who have not participated in the quarter-finals of the Big Ears Cup for fourteen years, will still have to cope without Jurrien Timber, injured (knee) since August 2023. Another major player may not be of the game. Martin Odegaard was replaced due to a leg problem and is doubtful. So who from Bayern or Arsenal will face Real Madrid or Manchester City on April 30 in the semi-final first leg? The draw (2-2) in the first leg on the Arsenal pitch would darken a little more table, knowing that the latter has lost its last three trips to a German club in the UEFA Champions League.
