The Emirates Stadium, Arsenal’s home ground, has to change its name for every Champions League match due to UEFA sponsorship regulations. This change also affects other clubs like Manchester City.
The confusion arose when UEFA’s pre-match promotion on social media referred to the stadium by its generic name, ‘Arsenal Stadium’, instead of its usual name, the Emirates Stadium. The same regulations apply to other stadiums, such as Atletico Madrid’s Civitas Metropolitano Stadium and Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium, leading to changes in their names for Champions League matches. Arsenal’s current opportunity to win the Premier League title is balanced by their upcoming match against struggling Bayern Munich. The Gunners are at the top of the Premier League table, but they face competition from Liverpool and Manchester City.
Arsenal may have to decide whether to rest players for the impending match or go all out against Bayern. Only one player, Jurrien Timber, is currently injured. Arteta is not taking Bayern’s threat lightly and has spoken complimentary words about their team and their coach, Thomas Tuchel. He emphasized the importance of collective effort in preventing the strengths of individual players, like [Kane], in order to secure a win.
