Carlo Ancelotti, showing remarkable calm, passed through the press room at the Etihad Stadium before the white team's training in Manchester. The Italian expressed his confidence in reaching the semi-finals, demonstrating complete control over any hint of nervousness or anxiety regarding the resolution of the tie against City.
“He is a very modern player, with a lot of technical and intelligent quality. Being a midfielder, he can cover many spaces and I predict a spectacular future for him, because he is only 20 years old. At that age he is already very mature, sensational. “Jude is a fantastic player.”

Ahead of the crucial Quarter-Final Second Leg clash against Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium, Pep Guardiola, the Manchester City manager, expressed his respect for the white team, but dismissed any feeling of fear towards them.
"I respect Real Madrid a lot, but I don't fear it," said Guardiola during the pre-match press conference. "If you lose against Madrid, you shake their hand and congratulate them. I want to play in a way that makes us deserve to be in the Semifinals. We are not going to prevail for 90 minutes, nor are they going to do it."

Atlético de Madrid failed to advance in the Champions League. The Colchonero team once again said goodbye without reaching the goal, this time being eliminated by Borussia Dortmund after losing 4-2 in the match and 5-4 on the aggregate score.

Barcelona, ​​at a numerical disadvantage since the 29th minute, were eliminated on Tuesday in the quarterfinals of the Champions League after losing at the Montjuic Olympic Stadium (1-4) against Paris Saint-Germain. With this victory, PSG managed to overcome the adverse result of the first leg (2-3).

With the new format, teams will play eight games in the league stage, previously known as the group stage. They will no longer face three teams twice (home and away), but instead will play against eight different rivals, dividing the matches between home and away. To determine the eight rivals, the teams will initially be divided into four groups. Then, each team will play against two rivals from each of these groups, playing one game at home and another as a visitor against a team from each group.

In the current Champions League season, there are 32 teams divided into eight groups of four teams each. Starting in the 2024/25 season, a league phase will be implemented in the Champions League, where the 36 participating teams will compete in a single league instead of the current groups. This modification will allow four additional teams the opportunity to take on Europe's top clubs in the competition.

Tickets will be delivered through the UEFA Tickets app a few days before the match. Ticket holders must download the official application, available on both Android and iPhone. This app allows fans to securely download, transfer, save and assign their tickets anytime, anywhere.

Ticket sales for the next three finals of the UEFA men's competitions and the UEFA Super Cup began exclusively through the official UEFA website and were available until 16 April. As in previous occasions, the majority of tickets will be allocated to fans of the participating teams and the general public through a drawing that will be held after the end of the application period, instead of being sold on a first-come, first-served basis.

The wait for the Champions League is over, the most intense emotions of the main club tournament in Europe return, with the most impressive goals, the most brilliant plays, the most outstanding players and the hottest controversies in the most important fields on the European continent.

In 13 matches played between these two teams, Bayern have the advantage with seven wins, compared to three Arsenal wins and three draws.

In five games played on German soil, the Bavarians have won three, the Gunners have won one and the other game was tied.

The Gunners suffered a heavy blow at the weekend when they were defeated at home by Aston Villa. In such a tight battle with Liverpool (who also lost) and Manchester City (new leaders), dropping points could be an act of judgement in deciding the league champion, and another title aspiration in the season will be at stake against Bayern.

"I think everyone is ready, we can use this as a reaction to Sunday's defeat. It's a great opportunity for us on the biggest stage. We all want to show what we are capable of," said Leandro Trossard.

Last weekend, the Bavarian team defeated Koln 2-0 at home. Raphael Guerreiro and Thomas Müller were the scorers in the match. However, on the same day, Bayer Leverkusen won their corresponding match and confirmed their Bundesliga title. This leaves Bayern with the only chance to celebrate here in the Champions League.

"We have a great opportunity in front of our fans to keep the season alive, and to keep alive the possibility that we can achieve something. We have a lot of experienced players who have played big games and we all need to step up and be counted on in an unbelievable atmosphere," said Harry Kane.

This is the start time of the game Bayern Munich vs Arsenal of 17th April in several countries

Many say out there that he is Arsenal's prodigal son and the fans have taken a son's affection for him, as his whole life has been formed under the ideology of defending the Gunners on and off the pitch, that's right, the player to watch will be the right winger, Bukayo Saka, who will be in charge of being the key to success for his teammates.

D. Raya; B. White, W. Saliba, Gabriel, J. Kiwior; M. Odegaard, Jorginho, D. Rice; B. Saka, K. Havertz, G. Martinelli.

We already talked too much about him previously for him not to be the player to follow, obviously, the athlete in question to have under a magnifying glass throughout the 90 minutes will be Harry Kane, "Killer" of the Bayern Munich area and who will seek with his great experience, skill and punch, to score the goals that will give his team the qualification.

M. Neuer; A. Davies, E. Dier, M. De Ligt, J. Kimmich; K. Laimer, L. Goretzka; S. Gnabry, J. Musiala, L. Sané; H. Kane.

Bayern Munich and Arsenal have only met on fifteen occasions (7 Bayern Munich wins, 4 draws, 4 Arsenal wins) with the scales tipping in favor of the Bavarian side. Their last meeting dates back to the first leg quarter-finals of the Champions League 20223/24 where Arsenal drew 2-2 with Bayern Munich. In goal history, 30 goals have been scored in favor of Bayern Munich and 17 in favor of Arsenal.

The Allianz Arena is a real battlefield to enjoy this Bayern Munich vs Arsenal, this venue has been the fortress of the Bavarian team in good times and bad, although sometimes the results have not been favorable, the Allianz Arena is characterized for being one of the heaviest Stadiums in Europe as its UEFA four-star certification makes it a Stadium of the elite category, also, it has the capacity to host more than 70,000 Bavarians in its seats that will be cheering with body and soul to Bayern Munich.

No, the above is not a spelling mistake, in fact, it is a reference to the Simpsons, a series that gave birth to a very famous meme where a pilot who transports the family says "nothing can malir salt", giving very little confidence to the family by the bad use of words, well then, using this example, Mikel Arteta is the pilot of a Gunner family that once again trusted the Spanish helmsman and at least for now, everything is on a fine line between failing again or making history and last weekend they had a hard failure in the Premier League, consequent act was to see Manchester City as leader of the competition, bringing back bad memories of past seasons. Likewise, in the first leg of this tie, Arsenal could not exercise its home advantage, ending the match in a 2-2 draw, now, at the Allianz Arena they will seek to eliminate a powerful Bayern that is clinging tooth and nail to the last tournament it has left to "win".

Who would have imagined at the beginning of the season that Harry Kane would lose his chance to lift his first title in his professional career, well, that's what some say because they already take for granted that this Bayern Munich will not lift anything in the season after being accustomed to be crowned in at least one competition in the last 10 years, however, for the believers and lovers of the Bavarian team, Bayern Munich still has one last bullet to save and that is that in the UEFA Champions League they are still alive after having drawn 2-2 with Arsenal in the first leg, Bayern Munich still has one last bullet of salvation and that is that in the UEFA Champions League they are still alive after having drawn 2-2 with Arsenal in the first leg, also, they have to take advantage of the fact of being local for this second leg game as they already showed that they can survive rival territory, now it remains that they manage to impose conditions at home, so this brings us to the question initially posed in the title: The chance for Harry Kane?

The trial phase of one of the best intercontinental tournaments at club level is over, and the most transcendental stage for the teams has begun, 8 teams are the ones that remain in the fight to continue advancing in the knockout stages or knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League with a well-defined objective; to reach Wembley and fight to lift the crown on the mythical turf of the land that saw the birth, growth and domination of world soccer. Now, in this round of 16 stage, the teams will have to play their best collective soccer, all the players will have to show their great individual level, the managers will have to be at the helm to guide their pupils and the fans will have to put on their team's jersey to cheer their team throughout these 180 minutes that will be the difference between remaining in the current competition and trying to beat all the dominant teams in the competition, or packing their suitcases, returning to the armchair, and having to settle for watching the rest of the tournament behind the TV set.

The Bayern Munich vs Arsenal match will be played at Allianz Arena, in Munich, Germany. The kick-off is scheduled at 3:00 pm ET.
