Leverkusen - United 2-4 / 0-5 (
)
Bayern - Arsenal 2-0 / 1-1
Bayern - United 3-1 / 1-1
What can be seen with these results is that the EPL used to be clearly superior to the Bundesliga aside of Bayern. This difference has lessened over the last years especially with Dortmund´s rise and Schalke´s and Leverkusen´s decent runs in the CL, although the last two have shown severe mentality problems at the biggest stage when it counted.
However, there is still no argument, which league has the superior depth. Germany has two clubs, which would be serious contenders for the top 4 in the EPL, while there are 6-7 clubs in England which could do the same in the Bundesliga.
The direct duels have often been very close matches, though, which will most likely be the case on Tuesday aswell.
