"For me, it will be crucial that Bayern Munich go into the knockout phase reasonably rested. But the most important thing in this crucial phase will be that their spine, their absolute top players and game-changers, are healthy and fit, especially mentally. Then, for me, they are the absolute number one, even ahead of Arsenal."
Sami Khedira assesses Bayern Munich as the primary favorites to win the UEFA Champions League this season, ranking them ahead of Arsenal despite the Gunners finishing first in the league phase with a perfect eight-win record. Bayern won seven games and lost once to Arsenal. Khedira emphasizes that Bayern's success depends on entering the knockout phase well-rested with their key players healthy and mentally sharp. Both teams pursue quadruple achievements. Arsenal seeks their first Champions League title after losing the 2006 final, while Bayern hold six titles including their 2020 treble-winning campaign. Arsenal currently lead the Premier League by five points, while Bayern lead the Bundesliga by eight points.
