Written by Arsenal will meet Bayer Leverkusen in the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League. This will be a tough and interesting game in as much as it is regarded as a walk in the park for Arsenal. The game cannot be a walk in the park because it took Bayer Leverkusen some effort to reach the round of 16.
Arsenal will comfortably win this game because of the current form of Mikel Arteta’s team. The players are in a very great form and their major target is a treble which also consist of the UEFA Champions League. The club has not been playing beautiful games like the previous seasons but it has still somehow managed to get the crucial results.
Arsenal will also win this game because this is the only major competition that the Gunners have never uplifted since its inauguration. The rival fans even those who won the trophy long time ago are criticizing Arsenal because they are the major club which does not have a UEFA Champions League title.
Arsenal will also win this game because of the mentality of the players. The players are playing with the mind set of the Champions and this may go a long way in helping them to beat the German club.
The other good thing is that, Arsenal has a very solid squad depth. It doesn’t matter which player is not available for the clash. Mikel Arteta confirmed that the Captain, Martin Odegaard will miss the clash because he is still out with an injury.
This is not a major concern because the club has been getting the results even without him. Eberechi Eze will surely step up in that position and he will do a fantastic job. William Saliba will also be back and his presence will also help to bolster the squad especially in the defence.
