To basically go out after two games is shocking because they won't get nothing against the mighty Bayern so they are out in my book.

Arsenal have one predictable style and that is it and teams suss that out very easily.

It's exhausting to be 100% focused on something with such intensity and to do that twice a week. Just think of it like a work or school task when it dominates your time and then as soon as it's done you need to reach that level again? You can only do it for so long. This is a much more extreme version of that.
Barcelona and Munich can go into some games pretty much on autopilot. Do their thing and get three points and not worry really about the other team. PL teams can't.

Sorry but most of us would like to play twice a week for the money they get so l think that's a poor excuse to say they can't cope with it as English teams coped with it 30 to 40 years ago quite easily.
