Arsenal far from impressive

Arsenal warmed up for this season-defining trip with a morale-boosting 2-0 weekend win over Hull. Sanchez was the hero for the Londoners, once again, scoring a double to ease home tensions. Breaking the deadlock on 34-minutes, the fans’ favourite added a bit of sparkle to the final-score when bagging a second in injury-time from the spot.

Manager Arsene Wenger called it a fortunate win in his post-match media chat, explaining that his boys struggled a bit to deal with the pressure of needing a home win. The points were picked up, but there was little about Arsenal’s performance that would have impressed punters, especially going into such a mammoth tie.

Munich in top gear

Bayern Munich, who were surprise runners up behind Atletico Madrid in Group D, have not had the same worries domestically, and can be found out in front in the Bundesliga. The Bavarians are looking home and hosed with regards to defending their German top-flight crown too, with nearest rivals RB Leipzig seven points off the pace in second.
