Arsenal favorites to win UCL due to defensive strength, says Danny Murphy
Former Liverpool player Danny Murphy has named Arsenal as the favorites to win the UEFA Champions League this season. Murphy cites the Gunners' defensive solidity and favorable draw as key factors in their title chances. "Arsenal are so good defensively and even when they're not playing well," Murphy said on talkSPORT. "They are probably favorites to win the Champions League because of the side of the draw they're on, you would expect them to get to the final." Arsenal advanced to the quarter-finals with a 2-0 win against Bayer Leverkusen, remaining the only undefeated team in the competition this season.
