Speaking of something special, Arsenal’s fullbacks are just that. Pegged as two of the three unsung heroes of the season by Pain in the Arsenal, this duo was yet again of the utmost quality against Bayern Munich.

The composure that Hector Bellerin displays is stupid. It is absolutely stupid. The kid is 20 years old and he is breezing past wingers and full backs alike. Once past, he has the mental fortitude to control the ball and create chances. Bayern Munich tried to exploit him and they were left gasping for air. Aside from one skillful move by Douglas Costa, the German Giants found out firsthand that Hector Bellerin is a force to be reckoned with.

Nacho Monreal is probably the most underrated defender in Europe. He is quietly magnificent. The left back is not even on the Spanish National side, yet he holds down the left side of the Arsenal defense with the deftness of a center back. Which is probably because he used to play center back. Thanks, Arsene Wenger!
