In a crucial match between the two teams, the Gunners lost 3–2 on aggregate against German team Bayern Munich, meaning they were not able to advance to the UCL semi-final stage.
The heavyweights of the English Premier League, Arsenal, lost tonight’s UCL encounter on the road despite playing a chaotic game the entire time.
Ben White, Takehiro Tomiyasu, William Saliba, Jorginho, Kai Havertz, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, David Raya, and Gabriel Martinelli are among the Arsenal Superstars that played terribly in tonight’s UCL match.
Arsenal, a team located in North London, controlled the ball for the first forty-five minutes of the match but were unable to build a lead that they could carry into halftime.
The Gunners lacked an offensive threat in the second half because they were unable to generate clear-cut opportunities against their opponent.
Let’s examine the three poor choices Mikel Arteta made in their matchup with Bayern Munich:
1. WRONG LINE UP AND FORMATION: For tonight’s UCL encounter, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta deployed a 4-3-3 formation.
Their 1–0 loss to Bayern Munich was partly caused by the incorrect choice to put Jorginho and Takehiro Tomiyasu in the starting lineup.
2. PLAYING STYLE: Takehiro Tomiyasu and Ben White were started as full backs by Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta in order to link up with the wingers.
The Spanish coach changed to a 4-2-4 system in the second half of the match, which ultimately had an impact on their on-field performance.
3. LATE SUBSTITUTION: In the second half, the Arsenal manager made four replacements. To relieve the weary players, the Spanish head coach substituted players such as Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Jesus, Eddie Nketiah, and others.
They lost to Bayern Munich because they made the incorrect decision to insert new legs late in the second half.
