Bayern Munich approach the Arsenal clash in the Champions League in an apprehensive state. The Germans have lost their last two clashes in the Bundesliga, including one to bottom-table Heidenheim, and may be mentally checked out of this campaign.
One of the team's leaders Thomas Muller wrote on Instagram: "Two days till we face Arsenal, it’s honestly a tough moment for us. After back-to-back defeats in the Bundesliga, our confidence seems to be pretty low.
"We should take this situation as a chance to surprise everyone at the big stage against the gunners. It’s not the moment to give up. Let’s go boys 🔥💪🏻"
By their standards, Bayern are having a nightmare-ish season, though it was coming for some time. They're closer to fifth-placed Borussia Dortmund than to league leaders Bayer Leverkusen, who may clinch their first-ever league title this weekend.
