Former Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann calls Bayern Munich boring and believes they would be nowhere near as dominant if they played in the Premiership.
The Bundesliga side have dropped just four points while averaging three goals per game in their run of 24 unbeaten games under coach Pep Guardiola and remain in good position to repeat their treble winning season that saw them beat fellow Germans Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final at Wembley.
Ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League encounter with Arsenal, Lehmann has criticised the top teams in the Bundesliga claiming that to watch them play is boring.
Speaking to The Guardian, the former Arsenal stopper said: “I have to say the challenges they are facing in the Bundesliga are not too high.
“Their opponents really don’t know how to play them. They don’t even find a way of trying.
“Bayern wouldn’t go unbeaten in the English league. The depth of the Premier League in terms of quality is higher, even if it is not at the top any more.
“Watching them is a little bit boring as well. They start playing around the back just in case they are pressurised and then slightly go forwards. It’s not a pacey game going forward. They step forward bit by bit until they are in the final third and then they have great quality players who can make the difference.”
Now the 44-year-old Lehmann who was part of Arsenals title winning “ Invincibles” believes that Arsenal can overturn the two goal deficit from the first leg but is not over confident saying: “You always have chances, but not a lot. Bayern have learned from last years’ experience. They know they are facing some danger.”
