Bayern s spear + Arsenal s shield - two "magic weapons" were born in European football

Written by/Hanbing In the domestic cup competitions just past midweek, the two giants Bayern and Arsenal continued their recent outstanding performances. Bayern broke the winning streak at the beginning of the European League season, while Arsenal set a record for England's top teams in six games in a single month without conceding a goal. Bayern is like the sharpest spear, Arsenal is the strongest shield, and they will directly collide in the Champions League on November 26.

After reversing Cologne 4-1 in the German Cup on October 29, Bayern started the new season with 14 consecutive wins, breaking the record of 13 consecutive wins in the five major leagues set by AC Milan (1992/93 season). This campaign was actually the first time Bayern fell behind in a game since July, but Bayern easily reversed. Bayern has scored a total of 51 goals in 14 consecutive victories, averaging 3.64 goals per game! Kane has scored 22 goals and 3 assists in 14 games, averaging 1.57 goals per game and averaging 1.79 goals per game. Mbappe, who ranks second in the top five leagues' scorer rankings, is 6 goals behind Kane, and Haaland, who is third, is 7 goals behind.

Bayern started with a 14-game winning streak. As many as 11 people in the team scored goals, spread across the front, middle and backcourt. In addition to Kane, the forwards, Dias (8 goals, 5 assists) and Olise (7 goals, 7 assists), also participated in at least 13 goals. In addition, the 17-year-old Karl who emerged out of nowhere also made Bayern fans shine. In the midfield and backcourt, Jonathan Tower (1 goal, 1 assist), Guerrero (2 goals, 2 assists), and Laimer (1 goal, 5 assists) all made outstanding contributions.

Next, Kompany and his Bayern will challenge the 2019/20-2020/21 inter-season winning streak record in all competitions (23 games). On December 20, the 15th round of the Bundesliga away game against Heidenheim was a record-breaking battle. But before that, Bayern will face Bayer Leverkusen at home on November 1, play PSG away in the Champions League on November 4, and challenge Arsenal, the best defensive team in the five major leagues this season, on November 26. This is the key to Bayern's ability to break the winning streak in team history.

Bayern has the "sharpest spear" in European football this season, bringing an overwhelming victory record; Arsenal has used an almost perfect defensive performance to become the "strongest shield" in European football this season, which is equally amazing.

After defeating Brighton 2-0 at home in the League Cup on October 29, Arsenal won all 6 games in October and kept a clean sheet, becoming the first team in the 137 years of the English top league to win 6 consecutive games in all competitions and keep a clean sheet in a single month. Arsenal have scored 12-0 in these six games. The Gunners' clean sheet in October was certainly not luck. If expanded to 14 games in all competitions this season, Arsenal would have conceded only 3 goals in total!

The British media believes that in addition to competing for the Premier League title this season, Arsenal is also expected to break the record for the fewest goals conceded in a single Premier League season (15 goals) set by Chelsea (2004/05 season). In addition to Chelsea, Arsenal may also challenge the record for the fewest goals conceded per game in the English top league season (0.38 goals). In the 1978/79 season, Liverpool only conceded 16 goals in 42 games, which means that Arsenal cannot concede more than 14 goals in a Premier League season. Among the five major leagues, the record for the fewest goals conceded per game in a season (0.37 goals) was set by Cagliari in Serie A in the 1969/70 season. At that time, they only conceded 11 goals in 30 league rounds and had 20 clean sheets.

Of course, Arsenal's ability to create history is largely due to good luck. In this cup match, Arsenal played almost all substitutes. Brighton shot 18 times, 6 of which were on target. Arsenal goalkeeper Kepa made 6 saves. In the previous 5 games in October, the main goalkeeper Raya only faced 5 shots on target by his opponents.

Arsenal has won consecutive games in October with zero shutouts, and because 5 of the 6 games have been at home, the intensity of their opponents is considered moderate. Next, they will accept severe challenges. On November 8th, there will be an away game against Sunderland, the fourth-placed dark horse in the Premier League. On November 23rd, they will play at home against Tottenham, the third-placed team in the Premier League. After that, on November 26th, they will face the challenge of Bayern, the sharpest striker in Europe.
