Bayern Held 2–2 by Arsenal in Munich

The draw leaves Bayern on five points from three group games and raises fresh fitness and selection doubts ahead of a trip to Atlético Madrid.

Overview

  • The Champions League game finished 2–2 in Munich on Wednesday after Eberechi Eze opened the scoring, Alphonso Davies equalised from a Harry Kane pass, Kane converted a 61st-minute penalty, and Declan Rice levelled late.
  • Harry Kane was the standout performer with two direct goal contributions and was named Man of the Match for his assist and penalty finish.
  • Luis Díaz was introduced as a substitute in the 68th minute but had to be withdrawn injured around the 90th minute, leaving his fitness for coming fixtures unclear.
  • Coach Vincent Kompany returned to the touchline after missing the final training session with a virus, while Joshua Kimmich missed the match because of a recent death in his immediate family.
  • The draw leaves Bayern under early group pressure with five points from three matches and makes the upcoming away game at Atlético Madrid a key moment for the club's hopes of securing direct progression from the group.
