Former Chelsea defender William Gallas has expressed his belief that Arsenal will emerge victorious against Bayern Munich in their upcoming UEFA Champions League quarterfinal clash later this month.
Arsenal’s progression to the quarterfinals, their first since 2010, saw them pitted against the Bundesliga champions. The Gunners secured their spot by eliminating FC Porto in the last-16, while Bayern advanced by knocking out Lazio.
The winner of the Arsenal vs. Bayern Munich tie will face the winner of the match between Manchester City and Real Madrid in the semi-finals.

Gallas, speaking to Sportskeeda, noted Kane’s consistent scoring record against Arsenal and at the Emirates Stadium.
He said, “It will be a great game, and we know that Bayern won’t be champions in the Bundesliga, so for the Bayern players, it will be very important for them to qualify for the next round.”
Acknowledging the challenge ahead for Arsenal, who are also contending for the domestic title, Gallas remarked, “It won’t be easy for Arsenal as they are still in the race for the title; it will be tough for Arsenal to qualify. However, I think Arsenal can surprise in the Champions League, so I’m still backing them to go through.”
