Arsenal is set to face Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, on Wednesday for the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. Mikel Arteta, the mastermind behind the \"Gunners,\" is confident that overcoming the Bundesliga giants could be a turning point for the team.
Arsenal's journey to the quarterfinals marks a significant achievement, returning to this stage of the Champions League for the first time since the 2010-11 season. The last time the Gunners reached the tournament's final four was in the 2008-09 campaign, when Arteta was still a player for Everton.
In the pre-game press conference on Tuesday, Arteta expressed his excitement: \"Absolutely. It would be unbelievable,\" he stated when asked if defeating Bayern would have a transformative effect on Arsenal. \"If we make it happen tomorrow and we're in the semifinal, we'll be in a really high emotional state with something that we haven't achieved in 15 years and that's the opportunity.\"
