A NICE CHALLENGE TO STOP HARRY KANE! 😅 | Jurrien Timber | Arsenal v Bayern Munich | Champions League

Pre-match press conference with Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber ahead of Arsenal v Bayern Munich in the Champions League league phase at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday 26 November 2025.

Arsenal go into the game with a perfect Champions League record after four wins from four and no goals conceded in Europe this season, while Bayern also have a 100 per cent record and arrive in London in outstanding form.

Timber reflects on the derby win at the weekend and the energy from supporters, his own form at full back and why the clean sheets are about the whole team rather than just the defence.

He discusses coping without injured centre back Gabriel Magalhaes and the need for others to step up, the challenge of facing Harry Kane and Bayern’s attack, and the physical, aggressive mentality in Mikel Arteta’s squad.

Timber also talks about playing multiple positions, Martin Odegaard’s leadership, his Christian faith and pre match team prayers, and his growing partnership and understanding with Bukayo Saka on Arsenal’s right side.
