Wenger: Arsenal needs 'Miracle' to beat Bayern

Wenger: Arsenal need 'Miracle' to beat Bayern

 Arsene Wenger has insisted that Arsenal will need "something special" to beat Bayern Munich in their Champions League clash on Tuesday.

The Gunners continued their impressive Premier League form this season with a 3-0 win at Watford on Saturday to stay within two points of leaders Manchester City.

It has been a different story in the Champions League, where back-to-back defeats against Dinamo Zagreb and Olympiacos have left Wenger's men in an unenviable position ahead of their double-header with the Bundesliga giants.

And the Arsenal boss insists that the match with Pep Guardiola's side will be a tough test. 

"We play against a big team, but we have proved ourselves from a bad position in the Champions League and we want to make something special against Bayern because that's the only way we can stay in the race," the Gunners manager said.

Some of Wenger's selections in the Champions League so far, most notably the decision to rest goalkeeper Petr Cech, have come under the microscope, but he suggested it will be a familiar line-up that takes to the field against Bayern at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday.

"For me the game was important because I knew to win was vital to stay in touch with the top teams and best way to prepare for Tuesday night," Wenger said after the win at Vicarage Road.

"I don't know yet [whether I will make changes] but there's no obvious reason to change the team completely.

"Maybe one or two, I don't know yet. I will see how everyone recovers.

"I could rest [Mesut] Ozil and [Alexis] Sanchez a little bit, but we have to put pace into the game.

Ronaldo And Messi Stats Shows Who's Best Of All Time

Bests of all time Victory in football's biggest tournament would play a huge role for either player's legacy, particularly in the long-term, and it looks incredibly likely that the 2018 edition will be the final attempt for both men. As a result, there was always going to keen interest in exactly how Ronaldo and Messi fare. And, well, three games in and their form is diametrically opposed. Ronaldo is in the running for the Golden Boot after scoring four goals in his opening two fixtures, including a stunning hat-trick against a hotly fancied Spain team. MESSI VS RONALDO DEBATE Meanwhile, Messi just found the back of the net in Russia only in his last outing vs Nigeria and missed a vital penalty in the 1-1 draw with Iceland. These developments led to a spike in support for Ronaldo to be considered the greatest of all time, with this summer exemplifying his brilliant form over the last few years.
