Arsenal are in hot form in the Premier League this season, not only winning the title, but also scoring the most goals and conceding the fewest goals in the Premier League. With high morale, Arsenal played in the Champions League quarterfinals to face Bayern, in the case of Saka scoring first, Gnabry and Kane scored two goals in a row to complete the overtake, but fortunately, the substitute Trossard saved again, and the two sides shook hands 2:2.
Compared with the Gunners' strength, Bayern's form is diametrically opposed, not only is the Nanda King about to lose the league title, but Tuchel, who has already confirmed his departure, has also refreshed the team's lower limit one after another, and the Champions League has become Bayern's only title to win the championship. The importance of this campaign for both teams is self-evident, with Mikel Arteta and Thomas Tuchel playing the main part, Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and Martinelli attacking all three in front, Odegaard, Rice and Jorginho in midfield, Kiwior, Gabriel, Ben White and Saliba at the back and Raya in goal.
On Bayern's side, Kane returned to north London to form an attacking line with Gnabry, Musiala and Leroy Sane, while Laimer and Goretzka were the back two, Kimmich, De Ligt, Dier and Alphonso Davies partnered in the backline, and Manuel Neuer returned to stand in front of goal.
In the past three meetings between the two sides, Arsenal lost 1:5, so after the opening Arsenal riveted all their strength to complete revenge; in the 13th minute, Alphonso Davies made a mistake in defense, Saka knocked back the forward run, Ben White passed diagonally, Saka scored in the far corner, 1:0! This is Arsenal's first Champions League top 8 goal in 14 years, Saka has scored 4 goals and 4 assists in the Champions League this season, second only to Kane among English players.
In the 16th minute, Havertz's header was ferried to the penalty area, Ben White's strong shot was defused by Neuer, but Arsenal's continuous high pressure also caused the back line to be too forward, in the 18th minute, the Gunners unexpectedly made a passing error in the backfield, Gorezka advanced to the straight stopper, Gnabry scored in the penalty area to equalize, 1:1! Gnabry has scored 7 goals in the Champions League away to England, second only to Benzema with 11 goals.
However, Bayern seems to have a restrained effect on Arsenal, in the 32nd minute, Sane drove all the way along the right side into the Gunners penalty area, Ben White stretched out his leg to trip it, the referee decisively blew a penalty, Kane took the penalty and hit it steadily, 1:2! Bayern overtook the score, this is Kane's 15th goal against Arsenal in all competitions, although leaving Tottenham, Kane still has a hot state for the Gunners, and it is not at all a pity to say that it is the Gunners' nemesis.
Kane, meanwhile, has scored his 39th goal of the season and continues to lead the European Golden Boot scorers' charts. It is worth mentioning that Bayern scored 2 goals with only 2 shots on target in the first half, and although Arsenal dominated possession and shots in the first half, they fell into a situation where the score was behind.
In the second half, Arsenal's attack did not improve, Arteta made a decisive adjustment, Trossard and Jesus two attackers played together, this adjustment immediately had an immediate effect, in the 76th minute, Bayern's backfield throw-in was cut off by the Gunners, Jesus held the ball in the penalty area to attract the defense and made a decisive move, Trossard followed up and pushed the goal, 2:2! Trossard scored consecutive Champions League goals for Arsenal to successfully equalize.
In the rest of the game, the two sides failed to continue to change the score, and 2:2 became the score of the whole game, Arsenal stopped the losing streak against Bayern, and the two sides will play the second leg next week at the Allianz Stadium.
