Former Arsenal goalkeeper, Jens Lehmann, believes that his old team has the upper hand in their upcoming Champions League quarter-final match against Bayern Munich. Lehmann, who played for the Gunners from 2003 to 2008, thinks that Arsenal's strong defensive play and impressive speed in attack will prove to be too much for the struggling Bundesliga champions.
Despite Bayern's impressive track record with six European Cup wins, the team has had a rough season under manager Thomas Tuchel. With Tuchel stepping down at the end of the season, it seems that their 11-year winning streak in the Bundesliga will also come to an end, with Bayer Leverkusen poised to take the title.
On the other hand, Arsenal has been in top form and is currently leading the Premier League with seven games left to play. While Lehmann acknowledges that Bayern has the potential to pull off a victory, he believes that Arsenal's strengths outweigh their weaknesses. In particular, he points out their strong organization and consistent pace throughout the team.
Arsenal will also have the advantage of a fully fit squad, with the exception of Jurien Timber who is still recovering from an ACL injury. Meanwhile, Bayern is hoping to have several key players, including Aleksandar Pavlovic, Kingsley Coman, Leroy Sane, and Noussair Mazraoui, available for the match. And with goalkeeper Manuel Neuer back in training for the past two days, it looks like Bayern will be fielding a strong team.
Overall, Lehmann sees Arsenal as the slight favourites in this match, but he knows that Bayern is a formidable opponent with players who can turn the game around at any moment. However, he remains confident in Arsenal's abilities and believes that their defensive stability and pace in attack will give them the edge they need to come out on top.
