Thomas Tuchel has issued a warning to Arsenal ahead of their Champions League quarter-final clash with Bayern Munich at the Emirates Stadium.
The former Chelsea manager, who led the Blues from 2021 to 2022, will be returning to London to face the Premier League leaders on Tuesday.
Despite Bayern’s recent defeat in the Bundesliga, Tuchel believes his team has the ability to cause pain for the Gunners.
It is worth noting that Arsenal finished fifth during Tuchel’s first full season as Chelsea manager in 2021-22. Tuchel also credited Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, for their recent success.
