""Arsenal and PSG are two different teams. I think Arsenal are a bit stronger defensively. They make it difficult for their opponents. But we have to analyse them and find out where we can hurt them," said Harry Kane, who has already scored five goals in Europe and particularly enjoys scoring against Arsenal and in their stadium. Kane's wish is our command - let's take a closer look at the English league leaders in our opposition profile."
"A look at the record of the two European heavyweights speaks in favour of Bayern, who have usually come off better in their most recent clashes with Arsenal. The Reds have won four of the last five meetings (one draw) - most recently in the 2023/24 quarter-finals, when FCB progressed to the next round after a 2-2 draw in London thanks to a header from Joshua Kimmich and a 1-0 home win."
"If you look at the North Londoners' league positions over the past 20 years, what is striking is that, with the exception of the years 2016 to 2021, the proud club has always managed a top-four finish in the prestigious Premier League since 2006. However, despite finishing as runners-up four times during this period, they never managed to win the title."
Bayern Munich hold a commanding Bundesliga lead and top their Champions League group at the end of November. Vincent Kompany's team beat Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 in the last Champions League matchday. Bayern travel to face second-placed Arsenal in London on Wednesday evening. Harry Kane noted Arsenal are stronger defensively and make it difficult for opponents, so Bayern must analyse where to hurt them. Bayern have won four of the last five meetings with Arsenal, including progress from the 2023/24 quarter-finals after a 2-2 draw in London and a 1-0 home win. Arsenal have finished in the Premier League top four most seasons since 2006 but have not won the title despite four runner-up finishes.
