Wenger is sure to put his emotions aside when he meets his former employers, in what could be Arsenal’s first time of qualifying for the quarter-final since 2010- 2011 campaing.
While Leverkusen is sure to be in buzzing at the opportunity of playing last years Champions League Finalist Atleico Madrid.
So we look at the top 5 battle in reference to this two fixtures.
SANCHEZ VS FABINHO
This may seem like as easy as it gets for Alexis, but trust me, that won’t be the true story.
Fabio Henrique Tavarez is a 21 year old Brasilian full back, with impressive pace and terrific dribbling ability, having bagged himself a goal in Monaco’s previous Champions League encounter against Zenit, his confidence is sure to be on the high.
He has to be considered one of the best right backs to be comng up the ranks. Sanchez will be wise not to underrate his fellow South American both defensive and attacking wise.
MERTESACKER VS BERBATOV
This is where it gets complicated,when 30 year old Per, goes up against 34 year old Dimitar. The Bulgarian looks like he never lost it, with his ever precise control and his ability to hammer a ball with his head into the net.
While Mertesacker will be considered as having an average season. The way this two fare, and their urge to be solid may well determine the outcome of this game.
MOUTINHO VS COQUELIN
Arsenal fans cant just seem to get enough of Francis Coquelin, the defensive midfielder seem like everything Arsenal has always lacked. His ability to position himself, as well as his hard tackling and his obvious commitment to the cause has quickly made him a afan favourite.
But he better bring his “A” game when he goes up against Portugese international in the name of Joao Moutinho. His sure to have his fair share of fun against the Gunners, but it will be Coquelin’s duty try and neutralise the ex-porto player.
The second fixture of the day takes us to the Bayarena.
MANDZUKIC VS SPAHIC
These are two teams that enjoy playing long-balls, swinging it in the air from left to right, trying to fight their target men.
Atletico will be trying all they can to find Mandzukic and it will be the duty of Spahic to stop the
SON VS JUAFRAN
The South korean vs the Spaniand . The very talented player will be the link between the midfield and the attack, as his dashing runs and time less dribbles but the only stubbling block will be the ever solid Juafran.
As Atletico have had a season filled with ups and down, players such as Juafran have been the hope the club desperately holds unto.
