Complacency is biggest threat to Bayern hopes

Bayern Munich said all the right words but you wondered if they truly believed them.

As Arsenal rolled into town yesterday they rolled out all the usual platitudes, but it felt like they were going through the motions. After a first-leg that was as comprehensive as the 3-1 scoreline suggests, the only opponent that can stop them from reaching the last eight of the Champions League is complacency.

Considering this side have built upon an already unassailable lead at the halfway stage in the Bundesliga with eight successive victories after the winter break, that seems unlikely.
