Bayern Munich and Arsenal finished 2-2 on Wednesday at the Allianz Arena, matchday three of the Champions League league phase. Eberechi Eze opened, Alphonso Davies equalised, Harry Kane converted a penalty, Declan Rice made it 2-2 in the 82nd minute. It is a draw. It is not a place in the knockouts.
Al Jazeera, with AFP: Saka went off after about eight minutes, thigh, a signal to the bench. Eze came on. In the 25th, Ødegaard found him; the flag went up for offside; VAR gave the goal. Kane found Davies, 1-1. After the break, Kane’s shot struck Jurriën Timber’s arm; a penalty; Kane scored. Gyökeres to Rice, 2-2. Kane, a tenth straight Champions League match with a goal; one short of Cristiano Ronaldo’s 11. Kane’s 16th goal against Arsenal. Streaks. Not the knockout round.
UEFA: Kane, 58 goals in the competition; player of the match. Rice saved the point. That is the matchday note. Not qualification.
No Olise, Kimmich, Musiala. Vincent Kompany had been a doubt, ill; he took his place on the bench. Al Jazeera: only the second points Arsenal have dropped in 12 games, all competitions. Kane, to TNT: a little disappointed, but “when you look at the whole 90 minutes, a draw was probably a fair result.” A quote. Not a diagnosis on Saka.
Arsenal.com: Rice extends the unbeaten league-phase run to 15 matches. An internal calendar. Not the last 16.
