We left Bayern Munich as impressive as they were calculating, on the lawn of the Parc des Princes, when Vincent Kompany’s team tamed Paris Saint-Germain (2-1). We find the Bavarian giant for a new shock at the top of this
Champions League since it is Bayern’s new runner-up, Arsenal, who stands in their way this Wednesday evening (kick-off at 9 p.m.). On paper, this poster quite simply opposes the two most prominent teams on the continent at the moment.
Bayern have had an absolutely perfect run and are leading this phase of the League, but Arsenal are also one of the teams totaling 12 points from the first 4 matches. Leader of the Premier League, the London club has real assets to put forward in this balance of power. A match within the match is also expected between Mikel Arteta and Vincent Kompany, incarnations of a new generation of technicians adept at positional football. The French Michael Olise, Dayot Upamecano and William Saliba will also meet. The show promises to be grandiose.
The expected compositions
Arsenal :Raya; Timber, Saliba, Hincapie, Calafiori; Eze, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Merino, Trossard.
Bayern Munich : Neuer; Laimer, Upamecano, Tah, Guerreiro; Pavlovic, Kimmich; Olise, Karl, Gnabry; Kane.
