Despite Bayern’s recent setbacks, Arteta doesn’t underestimate their abilities and aims to outperform them in the upcoming match.
Leverkusen, managed by Xabi Alonso, inflicted a 3-0 defeat on Bayern, further highlighting their struggles. While Arteta remains tight-lipped about seeking advice from Alonso, he looks forward to the challenges ahead.
Arsenal, leading the Premier League, aims for a domestic and European double, with Arteta determined to focus on the present rather than past defeats against Bayern. Arteta stresses the importance of earning the opportunity to win against a formidable opponent.
