Worse Champions League start is impossible, more difficult opponent to bounce, you can not imagine. In the tie with Bayern Londoners struggling to maintain chances of 1/8 finals. The team “Bavarians” occurs Polish captain, Robert Lewandowski.
Arsenal are not the only representatives of the English Premier League was experiencing its worst fall in the Champions League. Of the eight matches they lost five, they look them in the eye vision drop to fourth place in the UEFA rankings.

ARSENAL MATCH REPORT – Bayern Live In SPORT.PL and SPORT.PL LIVE
The team from the Emirates Stadium, however, suffer the most spectacularly. Lost to European średniakiem (Olympiakos) and a weakling (Dinamo Zagreb) without a point lies on the bottom of the group. He threatened her that for the first time since 1998. Being eliminated from the Champions League in the fall.
That’s 18 years in a row in the elite it for Arsene Wenger’s pride. The French coach has long explained that players who wants to bring the most interested in is whether they will be able to compete in the Champions League. Recently, the general meeting of shareholders Arsenal boasted that he no longer holds in the group stage only Real Madrid.
If we look from this perspective, the glass is actually half full. After all, in the twenty-first century Champions League season without experienced Barcelona, Bayern, Manchester United and Juventus; Milan is beyond two years. The regularity of Londoners, but you might as well call it stagnation. In the last decade, Arsenal only twice reached the semi-finals, quarter-finals waiting for since 2010.
Wenger told shareholders that his team has the potential to achieve more. He assured that it is not afraid of big transfers, with great skill is willing to pay big money. In fact, in recent years he brought Mesut Özil (42.5 million pounds), Alexis Sanchez (30 million) and Danny Welbeck (16 million). It’s three largest transfer History club. In the country they resulted in a twofold triumph in the FA Cup, Europe did not translate into anything. Once Arsenal sometimes end in Champions League after defeats by giants (Barcelona, Bayern), last spring did not give the council an average of Monaco.
Theoretically, such a defeat could trigger a club earthquake, make Wenger wholesale will start to buy players, who could change the team. None of this summer transfers ended on bringing Czech Petra. Incidentally, in the Champions League are Chelsea goalkeeper is a reserve, the goal is David Ospina.
Wenger insists, however, that his team become the first in 12 years the championship of England. Former Arsenal defender Nigel Winterburn even suggests that this season the Premier League, the Frenchman takes priority. Maybe it makes sense, Chelsea is in crisis, so the country has no clear leader. The most serious rival appears to Manchester City, which today Arsenal lost only two points.
However, even assuming that the LM is not for Wenger’s most important, defeats the champions Croatia and Greece could not assume. Especially since today and two weeks of his players will face a team that at the beginning of autumn looks the strongest in the world. Bayern with 14 matches this season, he won 13, the Bundesliga began nine wins (best start in history), haunted most effective pair of offensive players in Europe. Ronaldo (11) and Benzema (7) have collected 18 goals for Real, Neymar (8) and Suárez (7) – 15 for Barcelona, and Müller (11) and Lewandowski (16) until 27. Although today will be hosted by Arsenal, bookmakers see in Bawarczykach firm favorites.
also because the rate of matches Bayern are not only points. But if Arsenal put to such a powerhouse, no rival in słabującej the Premier League will no longer be scary.
