Jurgen Klinsmann has suggested that Mikel Arteta should be ‘very concered’ about one thing regarding Bayern Munich after Arsenal’s clash last night.
The Gunners managed to secure a 2-2 draw against the German giants having gone 2-1 down in the first half, with Leandro Trossard the saviour for the north London side on the night.
A game filled with controversy surrounding a late Manuel Neuer tackle on Bukayo Saka, a draw is a result that Arsenal would not have wanted going into last night’s game given how intimidating an away day in Munich can be.

Mikel Arteta and Arsenal can prove many critics wrong against Bayern Munich
Last night’s result was far from ideal for Arsenal, who will feel like two silly mistakes at the back has now cost them a potential place in the Champions League semi-finals.
Yet that’s why next week’s match in Germany can be such a big chance for the Gunners to prove many critics wrong, with Arsenal’s away record this season one of the best in Europe’s top-five leagues.
Indeed, it will take quite an effort for Arsenal to get a win against Bayern, yet the quality and the confidence is there to come away with a ticket for the semi-finals.
