What they're saying

"
Arsenal will have some big matches to navigate in the league phase of the Champions League if they are to be as dominant as they were last season. The Gunners will face Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund, a team they played in pre-season, at home and travel to play Bayern Munich away during this stage of the competition. Arsenal had a 100% record in last season's league phase but will have to beat three of the most recognisable sides in the tournament to repeat that this time.
