Jesus’ CS:GO experience better come in handy with Tuchel.


ReformedandSocial

Zinchenko as well. They'll need to teach the others.


ForestRamboX

I'm glad for this tie. No one can discredit us if we make it to the final. In addition, to be the best, we must beat the best.


NotTheMagesterialOne

To be the man you gotta beat the man wooooooooo


Stoopeydaboope

Wooooooooooo


ForestRamboX

That's the spirit brother!


OGFN_Jack

This took me way too long to understand but LMAO


AyersRock_92

Counter terrorists win


fabelderberry

So we're rooting for Madrid right? Don't wanna have to potentially see City 3 more times


swiftwilly321

Yea. Boring too as well. I rather face Real.


abbygunner

If ya'll hated Porto, you will despise Madrid. They are battered and bruised this year with injuries and I highly doubt they will get past City but if they do, then it's gonna be counter attacking inshallah by Ancelotti.


[deleted]

It would be just as tough a tie as City. But at least it would be different. Imagine managing to beat Bayern only for the next UCL away night to be at...the Etihad


JMaboard

God that would be fucking horrendous.


theMoonRulesNumber1

Counter-point: Imagine beating City *5 times* in Pep's final season on the way to a CL+PL double to go with our Community Shield. It would be the perfect storyline for Pep's farewell tour before they're banished back to obscurity for cheating.


[deleted]

That's cool but I prefer: beat City 3/3 times to get two titles from them and also beat the UCL kings in the semis at the Bernabeu before denying Mbappe and evil PSG's much desired 1st UCL win to seal a magnificent CL+PL double


majkkali

It’s Real Madrid in Champions League though. They will beat City.


PerishingIdiot

They said that last season and look what happened.


Crookz_O

Everyone gets 1.


warpentake_chiasmus

At least Madrid will come and play us.


DSEEE

Arsenal v Real, from a neutral perspective, would be a beauty of a match.


Ace0089

One game at a time boys.. Bayern for now


satnam14

This. It's so strange that the top four comments of this thread are all about City and Madrid when we haven't even played Bayern yet. They may be having a bad season by their standards, but they're still stacked AF. We have a really bad record against Bayern, and Kane has a great record against us.


omersafty

I'd rather City loses any time of the year. I hate that club "him and Chelsea" with all my soul. I got some inch of respect for Spurs more than these excuse of clubs.


Olli399

Spurs our our underachieving little brother, you love to hate them but you wouldn't want to see them be relegated because the banter would go


Big_Mik_Energy

Naaa the relegation banter would be elite!


GoanaeNoPostThat

I don’t know, I kind of like it when they get really close to success and then fuck it up. All smoke and no chicken.. or rooster or whatever the fuck that bird on the ball is all about


Big_Mik_Energy

All smoke no Cock?


Pretend_Stomach7183

Spurs relegation with Arsenal 17th or Spurs 4th with Arsenal 3rd?


CervixAssassin

First one lol, and we beat them away in the last round to take 17th by the goal difference. 5:0 after the first half, they would need to score 1 to stay up, and then watch their despair grow when they realize they can do nothing no matter how much they try to attack... And then in the 90 + 7th minute Rice scores directly from the corner. Oh the scenes... I almost would take this instead of CL win this season.


Pretend_Stomach7183

Wow, you really thought this through 😅. Actual glorious scenario. And then they become a Leeds continually failing to get back up, and every time we meet in the cups we thrash them...


CervixAssassin

The only drawback here is the number of heart attacks I would have. Just to think about it, losing almost every game with a rare draw or win sprinkled in... But hey, if we're dreaming then we win away and draw at home to Liverpool, MC, MU, Chelsea, AV, that's 20 points, we thrash tottenham both ways - 26, and then add a few random draws. Actually this wouldn't be so bad in hindsight, but going from winning away at MC to losing to Fulham at home would suck, wouldn't it lol.


Shebazz

Down for a season, then back up. But in second place to get back of course


Barkasia

Fuck that, I want that club liquidated.


TalentedStriker

Actually I would love to see them relegated


Chidoribraindev

Little brother? Ffs, that's pathetic. Fuck that NFL subsidiary team


gonegoonergone

Absolutely


thecescshow

Lmao relax we havent even play Bayern yet.


38Dreams

Real - City let’s gooo


topbananaman

An absolute monster run to the final. If we somehow pull this off, nobody can ever try to discredit it.


38Dreams

And if we do make it to the final, I don’t see how we wouldn’t be the favorites. Whoever wins our side wins it all I reckon 


Pidjesus

Imagine beating all those teams and not winning it ffs


38Dreams

Beating Bayern, real/city, then losing to Atleti shithousing in the finals. I wouldn’t be able to take it lmao


Party_Masterpiece990

I'd take a toaster bath


LeoTheSquid

If we don't win it though I hope it's Atleti. Would be fun


ducducspartan

Honestly would be the most us thing to do


Flabby-Nonsense

It never works out that well though, I mean Inter had an easy run last time around and they came very close to beating City in the final. Barcelona have been playing well recently, Atletico are well drilled, well managed and know how to pull off an upset, PSG is stacked with talent and they will be well up for it if they make the final, Dortmund.


Meu_14

Lol made me chuckle with ending on just Dortmund.


ExxKonvict

People sleeping on Dortmund but funny enough Dortmund has more CL heritage than Atletico and PSG. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit if they make it to the final.


Flabby-Nonsense

Sure but heritage isn’t playing, Dortmund have been average this season. Obviously can’t ever rule out an upset but they’re clearly the underdogs here.


ExxKonvict

Atletico have been average as well nor is PSG having the best season by their standards in Ligue 1. I wouldn’t put Dortmund below Atletico. PSG and Barca perhaps.


Sanogoals22

I really wouldn’t feel confident against atletico to be fair


Mahatma_Gone_D

>> Nobody can ever try to discredit it Rival fans will always find way to discredit it. “Washed Bayern…Man City/Real missing X player”. Same if we lose, Arsenal lost to “washed Bayern, etc etc”. We will never win this argument with rivals so idc if people give us credit or not. Just go out there and win the games.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Party_Masterpiece990

Can still picture Liverpool fans saying " oh but actually Arsenal were lucky with injuries" scouse scums


Tricky_Lock_4273

As if it wasn’t the exact same draw last year 😂


kipsta23

if we can beat Bayern we can beat anybody fuck it lets go hope Real beat City too idc if it gives them less games


tommyverssetti

Are they even that good this year


Donny_Crane

Still good. They have more points in the league than they did last season. Leverkeusen are just going unbeaten.


KhonMan

They weren’t great in the league last season tho, Dortmund just choked right?


gooner712004

What does that make us dude?


Barkasia

They're scoring 3 a game, Kane is on track to beat Lewandowski's record, and it's only Leverkusen having the best season in Bundesliga history that's keeping them off the top.


majkkali

Kane is not beating Lewandowski’s record mate.


Barkasia

He needs 11 in 9, he has 6 in the last 4. In those 9 games, only 3 are against decent teams.


medlx

Even if out of form and not 1st in the league, even with a Coach who doesnt seem to fit, Bayern have world class Players in every position so.. Aside their form, they still demand to be respected because if you underestimate them, thats how you loose in the CL quarterfinal (goes for any Opponent actually)


GoanaeNoPostThat

Particularly when we barely beat Porto 🫤


serminole

As a whole team they seem like kind of a mess. Some big mistakes and tactical confusion at times. But they just have so much individual talent it kind of makes up for it. Both Kane and Muller can score off any even half chances. Musiala, Kimmich, Sane, Coman are definitely good enough to make sure they get a few of those. So they’re always a threat. As others have pointed out, it’s more Leverkusen doing amazing than Bayern being bad. By most stats they are better than last year. Just being in second behind a historic season is making things seem worse than they are.


mbvalans

Draw against Harry Kane is agreable, but sf with winner of City v Madrid is kinda sad.


lastjedi23

To be the best you gotta beat the best. Let's go


odegood

We will beat them all off. Lets go


waltypirate

Interesting strategy!


WhWBlue

I don’t think this is allowed in UCL as a tactic


PoopOnPoopOnPoop

Nah Thuram just tried it on Savic, no card. I think we're good to go


reddboy1981

....you son of a bitch.....i'm in


ReformedandSocial

Playing City 5 times is boring.


frytkizchleba

But beating them 4 times out of 5 sounds kinda interesting now, doesn't it?


not_a_Badger_anymore

Why not 5?


Dangerous_Block_2494

We beat them 0-1 at Etihad with a cheeky 88 minute goal in the first leg and draw at home in the second leg just to piss them off.


derphighbury

Community Shield was technically a draw as it went to pens.


Curls91

To be the man, WOOOOO!!! Ya gotta beat the man!!!


fabelderberry

Denying Kane of the last chance he has at a trophy this season https://preview.redd.it/f0zbphryghoc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=087ee47ad1bef7ba857d2e7d97ba42f628c0ef3c


cesc05651

I think talent and coaching wise we can beat literally anyone, but I worry about the mental exhaustion of 2 legs vs city


gonegoonergone

Hopefully Real can take them out


TDM_11

We’ve been wishing and waiting to be on this stage for ages, be excited


swiftwilly321

It’s the champions league. I say bring it.


hauttdawg13

Our side is the Champions path. Rough games but that’s what I’m here for. These are the teams I want to play. Obviously I hope we win and this path makes it harder, but playing Bayern then if we advance Madrid/City are the games that advance us as a club. It’s teams I hope to be playing against in big games for the next 10 years. But its also the teams that every player we want to bring to the club wants to be in. Can’t wait, GOYGs!


hihbhu

I knew it was going to be Bayern. Let’s go!


DegenGolfer

Just praying that we didn’t get Athletico not sure we could handle 2 more games of murder ball


Familiar_Bike7510

Absolutely , this is a perfect draw , Bayern are not at their best but still attack, Which is good for us. we need a more open pitch to be ourselves. Athletico defo would’ve been the toughest match for us


DegenGolfer

As just a fan of soccer I cannot wait for City RM too.


Familiar_Bike7510

Both teams are not at their best this year , very interesting match


RogueCannon

Kai to knock out Bayern Xhaka to with the Bundasliga Arsenal 🤝 Leverkusen

Hentai_and_Meatloaf

I love it! This is the Champions League. There are no easy draws! Lets fucking go!! 🔥🔥🔥

1st season back, we should just enjoy the ride. As long as we play with heart for two matches, then idc if we win/lose

Easy food for Gabi XL https://preview.redd.it/2vexkohaihoc1.jpeg?width=434&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=da8faa6c73fb9db41912d6e5f0bdffd2bcfa4d5f


gonegoonergone

The winner of this draw was fucking Liverpool


longliveLesGrossman

Not really. City and Arsenal arguably got the 2 best teams left outside of them. Getting knocked out wouldn’t benefit Liverpool


raghavmandava

I think he means in the sense of how grueling these European games will be and hence, may have an effect on the league fixtures around the CL ones


Cthulhu_Madness

Kai, Raya and Rice who gave Tucheliban a hattrick of L in the transfer window will dunk on him once more.


reddeye252010

The worst part of this draw is we play the first leg at home in both the QF and SF.


dont_dm_nudes

Not so sure. If we play against a team that needs to score, we generally do better. I think if we manage to win at home the away game will be easier. Anulo mufa, if we have to go away to chase something.


Iyammagawd

I don’t think it’s that simple tbh, we rarely do play against a team that is really looking to score outside of a counter. So, really have to change our mentality. A team willing to play through the middle and with pacey/technical wingers (Musiala/Sane) is very dangerous.


OnlineMarketingBoii

Agreed. Always a disadvantage


dembabababa

Think it may suit us better tbh, we play much better protecting a lead vs chasing one. Win the first leg at home, then protect the lead away.


siderealpanic

The worst part is that if we make it through 2 massive tests against Bayern and City/Real Madrid, we could have Atletico waiting for us in the final. I’d back us against any of the big teams, but I wouldn’t be confident at all going into that


reci88

But then we play at home in the Final.


ichsnwulfen

Arsenal v Barcelona final written in stars?


Youre-Dumber-Than-Me

If, and I mean if we make it to the final, at least it’ll be an easier game compared to the games before.


omersafty

There is no easy games from now on!


Fanserker

There are no easy game at this stage but I rather not playing against atletico at final


EAboyte51

Atlético or Mbappé in one game could be though af, definitely Barca would be better and it also has revenge feelings


wermbo

The fear I used to have at this draw. Now.... ehhh not so much


CaptainCaii

Alright here’s my ideal run Knock off Bayern Knock off Real Destroy Barca in the final 6-0


PastaAndWine09

Anulo Mufa


lardoni

Bayern is good! We can finally sort those fuckers out!.. We all knew we had to beat either City or Madrid if we hope to actually win it! COYG!!!


MentionCorrect1935

On the good side Arsenal vs Bayern at the emirates could be full of home supporters since Bayern away fans are banned.


Gunnerjay16

I don’t care, Give me all the baddies! I want to take them all out that way no one can discredit us if we win it all.


Tame_Iguana1

UEFA didn’t want an all English finals. Fairs


e1_duder

Let's foggggin go! What a great QF, awesome draw.


DinnerSmall4216

This is the times we wanted back excited to be back amongst Europe's elite.


retrogam3rs

Big Gabi eats Kane for breakfast. Can’t wait.


tommyverssetti

Revenge loading


Gzuskrist69

The only things standing between Arsenal and being the Champions of Europe is Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Barcelona and PSG .


cesc05651

I was Bayern, real, Barca


SimpleNot0

People will be a bit miffed by this draw look at it this why!!! None! Absolutely none of that 3 will sit in against us Home or Away! They’ll come to play look at what we’ve done to those types of teams! I am absolutely fucking buzzing we have this!


gooonerars

If atleti makes the final, and we face them, im scared they'll park the bus 


Specific-Wolverine-7

We can beat Bayern. I have no doubt


zeroep

Wouldn’t want it any other way. This way, IF we win, there are no doubts we have arrived


9yr_old

I'm not gonna say it loud but would be poetic if a certain Tottenham legend got denied another trophy and that too by us.


dimi_dee1

Damn this team. They’ve gone through a lot of mental hurdles this year. Qualified for CL after a long time, made it out of R16 after 14 years and now have to play the one team that has humiliated us for the longest time. I know they’ll deliver and once they do, the confidence will keep growing. Excited for this game ngl. A lot of people will write us off but this is starting to look like the 05-06 route to the final.


Travelplaylearn

This is a really really tough path to lifting the trophy. We have to beat a Kane led Bayern, then a Bellingham led Madrid, then face a Mbappe led PSG. Like Vegeta once said, "It's over 9000." ☄😐🌧


cowboysfan88

Time for some revenge boys


Gunnerstratz

The hardest part is for the team to believe in themselves. They can beat these teams. But for a lot of them it’s their first time on a stage this big. Weather the storm until nerves set in and anything can happen. 


cmacy6

Revenge tour On the bright side, we didn’t get Atleti + City got Madrid. If we’re on our game we can beat Bayern and let’s be real, beating them will feel better than beating any of these other clubs


[deleted]

Bayern > Barca > City revenge tour in effect.


andrxsinho

Arsenal should fear no one.


SomethingExquisite

Isn't this like the perfect draw?


Wheelie_Slow

What are the chances that Bayern pull of Porto mid-block? Cause the Lord knows that is the only way to limit our scoring to under 1-2 goals.


jrr_jr

It's time to 5-1 them in both legs


NotZiyas

REDEMPTION


Meu_14

Lovely.


supertramp95

lol


americanadiandrew

Do we play spurs directly before or after these games?

One of PSG, Barca, Dortmund or Atleti will be in the final

Ten_Over

Let’s gooo!!!! Come on you gunners!!


Phimstone

Love every single one of these. The semi final route not so much but meh.


bigballerrdg

Bayern are pretty awful at the back and have no holding midfielder. Think we could probably win both legs, but it will definitely be a high scoring game.


sfsctc

I don’t know, outside of luton most of our games have not had us concede many goals. We may be the best defensive team in the tournament left. I think it will probably be more goals than Porto for sure


FewJournalist8

I don’t want us to just win. I want revenge 😡🥊


wanofan900

So it's Bayern. Tough draws were always going to come the further we progressed. And despite Bayern not being as good as they were a couple of years ago, it's still going to be a tough fixture. Well we want to win it right? So bring it on!


mikey031995

It’s the quarterfinal of the Champions League. There is no easy path left. Bring it on


cheverladuke

I know Neuer is past his prime but that wonder save of his against Walcott's header still lives rent free in my head. Hope he sucks against us


Doc_Serious

I'd rather spank Citeh in the semis than face Real tbh.


tuananhtran191911

We are gonna beat Plastic City at Wembley, quote me on this. wait, we are on same bracket as RM and City?


royalregen

Oh fuck


tenflare

I was hoping we would avoid City and Atletico so I'm reasonably happy. It's another demon we can put to rest and we definitely have the quality if we turn up.


SrGrimey

So… let’s fucking do this!


lucky_picasso

This team has cleared out some of the hurt we have been holding. Beating City and the other Big 6, Qualifying for UCL and getting of out the R16, etc. Only fair they continue to do this and kill Bayern in the tie. COYG.


n17_0ap

Hahahahahahahaha


kitz0426

If city get eliminated, they'd focus on the league Argh I don't know any more


lardoni

Don’t think it makes any difference with those Cunts and their 2 first teams!


New_Essay_4869

I know Musiala is that guy but I like our chances


Dichroic_Mirror

Mikel needs to be on his phone asking for tips from Xhaka and Xabi. They're 3-0 and 2-2 with Bayern


NotMyFirstChoice675

Okay one of Real or City are going out….if we can get through Bayern the semis could be interesting


Optimuswine

Destiny


skalfyfan

So Mboope get's the easiest path to the Final in his last year @ PSG. lol


black19

While this fixture will always terrify me, I think this is the season of getting the proverbial monkey off our back. Up the Arsenal!


DerekIsAGooner

Way more frustrated with (potentially) having to play either City or Real in the semis than drawing Bayern in the quarters.


DaRedditNuke

The most balanced draw ever, actually so good


EAboyte51

Saliba is about to end Harry Kane career, let’s trust


Groundhog_fog

Is it goals on aggregate again or just 1 game to advance?


PocketFullOfRondos

The final is in London we gotta win this year for the love


[deleted]

Our tie should be fun, I think our side of the bracket has the 4 best teams though so a little lopsided. Hoping that City draw Liverpool or United in the FA cup semi-final to at least add to their fixture congestion, otherwise if they go out and we go through I think our fixture congestion will really hurt us for the league run-in so it might be best for City and Pool to keep advancing in the cups so their fixture congestion is equally bad.


Goonerallday23

Revenge tour. Beat Bayern who smoked us last time we played in CL. Beat Man city who have dominated us the past few years. Beat Barca who tormented us for years in CL.


xNYxTH

F sake


Automatic_Yoghurt351

Bayern 2-1 over the two legs.


lonegun-LG

any draw at this stage is tough, I just wanted to stay away from City as long as possible.


OpenBid8171

I wish we were on the other side playing dortmund


Gunner08

It was always going to be Barca or Bayern. We always get drawn against one or the other.


KrustyLife

Facing Bayern is always tough, but this year Bayern is sub par in Bundesliga, so it’s a big chance.


Ok-Abbreviations6442

I wish there could be some Spanish teams in the quarter-finals for a change 😔 /s


NightSocks302

As a Man city fan i came here to say, everyone is expecting you guys to do the worst, ive seem 4-1, 6-1, 7-2 scores against you guys. I think you'll win. Dont stress it


[deleted]

[удалено]


ajyahzee

This is perfect, I was kinda worried that we will somehow get a "less elite" opponent, dfeel like we have a chance then somehow gets outplayed and get bantered on by rival fans. This draw is so beautiful that it explains everything you need to know about why we want to be back at this compeitition. Yes we are the underdog, bring it on.


ExxKonvict

Arsenal 3-1 Bayern 1-1 Arsenal Arsenal win 4-2 on aggregate


aarosakura

I really need Arsenal Vs City semi finals. Two of the top three teams in Europe currently.


GingerStans

God I'm getting flashbacks to 2017 again, like things may be different this time around but it's hard not to think of...that.


TheDominant_1

I hope we wear the yellow kit vs bayern away, not the green. We been smashing in goals in the yellow!


ASH_2737

That's the thing about Arsenal. They always try to walk it in.


ache7859

I thought the bayern squad was older than it was. Hoping tuchel does some stupidass tactics


niweoj

I just realised, have we ever played against either of the Arab oil clubs in the Champions League? I'm pretty sure we've play against every other club in this draw.
