Number 11: “Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal dominate Pep Guardiola’s Bayern Munich.”
Match: Arsenal 2 – 0 Bayern Munich | Date: 20th October 2015 | Competition: Champions League Group Stage
This football match is, without a doubt, the most underrated Arsenal game of the decade.
On this day in 2015, a tactical masterclass from Arsene Wenger led Arsenal to a memorable victory over Pep Guardiola’s Bayern Munich.
Following the confirmation that Jack Wilshere will leave the club following the expiration of his contract, I just knew that this article had to be written. For someone so loyal and dedicated to Arsenal Football Club, it’s devastating to see the Englishman leave, especially when other long-serving favourites like Arsene Wenger and Theo Walcott have also departed recently.
Jack Wilshere is, and was, the embodiment of the Arsenal that I fell in love with back in the day. A fantastic midfielder technically, one of the only true leaders at the club in the last decade and also one of the most consistent performers of Wenger’s “Wengerball” philosophy. When playing at the top of his game, Wilshere was phenomenal.
On the 20th of April, Arsenal’s legendary manager Arsene Wenger announced that he would step down from his role at the end of the season. The Frenchman’s 22-year stint at the North London side has seen him lift three Premier League titles, one of which being an Invincible season, a record-breaking seven FA Cups and also seven Community Shield honours. From the days of “Arsene Who?” to his exciting confrontations with the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho, the 68-year-old has played a significant role in the modern history of English football that may never be repeated.
The club’s Chief Executive, Ivan Gazidis, alongside his powerful team of Raul Sanllehi; Head of Football Relations, Sven Mislintat; Head of Recruitment, and, Huss Fahmy, Chief Negotiator, are believed to the ones behind deciding who replaces Wenger for the 2018/19 Premier League season. The following takes a look at the various realistic candidates that are currently being linked to succeed Arsene Wenger at Arsenal.
