The head coach of Bayer Leverkusen, Kasper Hjulmand, praised his opponents ahead of the Champions League match against London’s Arsenal:

"This will be one of the biggest challenges we will face.

We have already proven that we can overcome teams like Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund, or RB Leipzig.”

The Arsenal team is a strong favorite. They are currently probably the best team in Europe.

They finished first in the group stage, won all their matches, scored the most goals, and conceded the least.”

London’s Arsenal club accumulated all 24 points in the Champions League group stage.

Additionally, the Gunners are leading the English Championship with 67 points.
