Arsenal Needed Key Players to Defeat Bayern Munich, According to Ian Wright

Arsenal icon, Ian Wright, emphasized the importance of having a certain ‘X-factor’ like Vitinha from Paris Saint-Germain and Kevin De Bruyne from Manchester City in order to overcome Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-final.

The Gunners have been eliminated from the tournament following a 3-2 aggregate loss to the German outfit.

The pivotal goal was netted by Joshua Kimmich at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday, with the first leg finishing 2-2 at the Emirates.

During an episode of the Wrighty’s House podcast, Wright expressed his views stating: “A player like Vitinha at Paris Saint-Germain. You know when you watch a team and you think: ‘You know something? He might do something.

“The first half [Odegaard produced] against Villa was one of the best performances I’ve seen from him for a long time and he’s been playing very well this season. I’m talking about someone with that bit of X-factor that we need. We’ve got a load of good players.”
