Gabriel madness leads to Bukayo Saka penalty humility as Arsenal learn Champions League lesson

Arsenal secured a draw against Bayern Munich despite the game promising so much more. Mikel Arteta was left with arms raised at full time as the fallout of the clash was dominated by whether Bukayo Saka should have had a penalty.

The Gunners lost the previous three meetings 5-1 and perhaps shows the progress made in the time since the pair last met. Arsenal will head to Munich after a clash with Aston Villa this weekend in the hope of getting what is on paper a suddenly very difficult proposition.

A mix of responses to the game and some mixed displays. This of course lends itself to plenty of examples to be assessed in football.london’s successes and frustrations from a quarter-final Champions League night at the Emirates Stadium.

In terms of big chances Arsenal had three and took two of them. Playing a side like Bayern Munich, it’s rare that sides in this competition in particular create too many and so when they come they need to be taken.

Bukayo Saka’s stroke of a shot into the far corner was excellent. The composure from such a young player to curl the ball past a keeper of his calibre ws excellent and then Leandro Trossard again coming up clutch to keep the tie all square.

That Trossard goal could be the key moment of the tie as the quarter-final balances on a knife edge. Arsenal famously won in Munich 2-0 under Arsene Wenger only to be eliminated on away goals and any Gooner would certainly adore a repeat scoreline this time around.
