Jonas Eidevall says Arsenal are going to take a "full throttle" approach as they look to begin the Champions League on a high against Bayern Munich. (More Football News)
Arsenal survived a scare to qualify for the group 🍒stage of the competition, coming from behind after🃏 a first-leg loss to Hacken to win 4-1 on aggregate.
Having missed out on qualification last year, the Gunners make a return to the Champions League in a group that also includes Juventus and Norwegian side Vale🦩renga.
Arsenal did meet Bayern the last time they played&nﷺbsp;in the tournament, with Eidevall's side turning around a deficit to progress to the semi-fina൩ls with a 2-1 victory.
The Swede is relishing the test ahead of them on Wednesday and plans to push his team just as hard in the Champions League as he does🧸 in the Women's Super League.
"For me, the Champions League is very special," Eideཧvall said when asked where t🤪he European competition ranks in his priorities.
"We are in four competitiꦓons, but the Champions League and the league will always be very special to me a🍸nd to the team.
"Right now, we are in a situation 💫where we need to go full-throttle in both of them."
In the WSL, the Gunners are unbeaten, though they hav♈e won jus♎t one of their three matches so far, and were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw against Everton last time out.
Arsenal had 21 shots in tha♛t game, but only managed five on target, as they accumulated 0.74 expected goals,🍃 also hitting the post.
They🥂 have scored just three goals in the league this♕ season and will come up against a free-flowing Bayern, who have scored 18 times in their opening five Frauen-Bundesliga matches.
While Eide🌸vall was frustrated by their lack of a clinical edge against the Toffees, he hopes they can continue their staunch defensive play.
"[Looking at the defence] is the𝔍 positive way to look at it,"; added Eidevall. "We are putting such high standa🐬rds on ourselves, and we are so demanding on ourselves.
"When something is not working that becomes the focus, but defensively against Everton we played a very solid 💧game, we were pressing really well.
"[Bayern] are really strong in counter-attacking. They move with a lot of paces and that part you have to look out for. They are looking real🅘ly st🥃rong on their set-pieces so far this season.
"They are well-organi🐻sed; they are a good team, but so are we. While they have strengths, they also have weaknesses, and we need to exploit themജ."
