The match between Arsenal and Bayern had several dramatic moments. Harry Kane’s penalty gave Bayern the lead at half-time, but Leandro Trossard came off the bench and scored to level the match. Both teams were denied late penalties, leading to controversy.
Gabriel Magalhaes was lucky to escape a penalty after handling the ball in his own box, and Saka appeared to be tripped in the box by Neuer. Shortly after Saka’s goal, Arsenal had the chance to go 2-0 up, but Ben White missed a clear opportunity. Arteta acknowledged the team’s defensive shortcomings, but praised their effort in making a comeback.
Arteta expressed confidence in his team’s ability to succeed at the Allianz Arena and reach the Champions League semi-finals. He emphasized the importance of learning from mistakes and supporting the players.
