Arsenal must continue their fine form against Bayern to achieve a positive result, according to Arteta. The manager emphasized the importance of carrying over the winning energy from their previous game and playing with "dominance, aggression, and efficiency" against the German champions.
Arteta also discussed the significance of beating Bayern, which could potentially elevate Arsenal to the same level as other top European teams. However, he noted that Bayern has a strong record in the Champions League, having won six titles, while Arsenal has yet to win the competition.
Arteta was asked about stopping Bayern's star players, including Harry Kane and Michael Olise, who have been performing exceptionally well this season. He acknowledged the challenge and expressed his team's readiness to face such opponents.
Despite facing injuries, including a setback for star defender Gabriel, Arsenal is looking to extend their streak of 15 consecutive wins at the Emirates in the Champions League group stage.
Arteta provided updates on the team's injury situation, indicating that several players, including Kai Havertz, Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke, Gabriel Martinelli, and Martin Odegaard, are nearing a return to the squad. He also mentioned that Gabriel Jesus is making progress and may return sooner than expected.
The manager highlighted the importance of squad depth, particularly with the team competing in multiple competitions. He emphasized the need for effective rotation to avoid fatigue and further injuries, which could compromise the team's performance.
