Thomas Tuchel Pinpoints Bayern Munich’s Advantage Over Arsenal in the Champions League

• Bayern Munich will welcome Arsenal to the Allianz Arena later tonight
• The UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg ended 2-2 in London
• Thomas Tuchel believes his team has an advantage over their opponent

Bayern Munich boss, Thomas Tuchel, has named where his team have an advantage over Arsenal tonight but admits it will only help them if they deliver a top performance.

The first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final tie between the two sides ended 2-2 at the Emirates Stadium, and there is all that remains to play for in Munich.

Both sides can claim an officiating decision that went against them in London, which could have earned them the win on a night when the Germans had no fans in the stadium.

Per Transfermarkt, the Gunners, who are playing in their first quarter-final in 14 years, will play in the semi-final for the first time since 2009 if they go past the home team tonight.

Tuchel names Bayern's advantage over Arsenal

As quoted by Mirror UK, Tuchel spoke during his pre-match conference ahead of tonight's crunch tie. He admitted his side have an advantage over their opponents.

“We have a slight advantage when you look at our experience in this competition, but to turn it into a real advantage, you also need a top performance. We’re ready to give it everything we’ve got,” he said.

“We’ll need everything again. We’ll need passion and the same tactical discipline as in the first leg. We really want to win this game.”

The Bavarians' only hope of silverware this season is the Champions League after Bayer Leverkusen sealed the Bundesliga title with a 5-0 win over Werder Bremen at the weekend.

English forward Harry Kane will have to bring out the best as he does against the London side if his first year with the serial winners won't end without a trophy.
