Vidal: Arsenal should expect war in Munich
Chile midfielder Arturo Vidal has warned Arsenal to expect a tough war stressing that Bayern Munich can prove a point by beating the Gunners in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.
Pep Guardiola’s Bavarian giants suffered their only defeat of the season at the Emirates Stadium when they lost 2-0 to Arsenal a fortnight ago in Europe. The Germans failed to convert a string of chances in London as Olivier Giroud and Mesut Ozil scored second-half goals for Arsenal.
Having won their first ten league games, Bayern then dropped their first Bundesliga points on Friday with a goalless draw at Eintracht Frankfurt. Guardiola’s Bayern are becoming frustrated by their German opponents’ defensive tactics, but midfielder Vidal is backing his team to shoot the Gunners down in the return at Munich’s Allianz Arena.

“We’ll show Arsenal the real Bayern on Wednesday,” the Chile international told German daily Bild. “This time we’ll use our chances and take the three points.”
Despite the defeat at Arsenal, Bayern remain top of Group F while the third-placed Gunners breathed some life back into their European hopes to move off the bottom of the group after two defeats. Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer expects Arsenal to learn from Frankfurt’s success at denying Munich’s potent attack and adopt a similar approach at the Allianz Arena.
