"After enjoying faultless three and a half months of the 2024/25 season, Bayern Munich suffered their first defeat of the campaign away at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday. Arsenal clinched a 3-1 win in the top-of-the-table clash in the Champions League against Bayern. Arsenal opened the scoring in the first half, but Lennart Karl scored a goal to equalize in the 32nd minute to ensure both teams went into half-time at 1-1."
"Bayern boasted a record of 17 wins and 1 draw in their last 18 games. The defending Bundesliga champions have played scintillating football this season. However, they were second best in and out of possession against Premier League leaders on Wednesday. It was a disappointing defeat for Bayern since the squad was eager to do well in what was probably their biggest game of the season until now."
"This was an extremely important game for us. I'm convinced we'll learn a lot from it and improve certain aspects of our game. We had games last season like the Barça game, which wasn't good, and that we learned a lot from. It's important to take the next step in our development. Losing at Emirates Stadium in November will not have a big impact on Bayern's campaign."
Bayern Munich suffered their first defeat of the 2024/25 season at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, losing 3-1 after three and a half faultless months. Arsenal opened the scoring before Lennart Karl equalised in the 32nd minute, but the hosts dominated the second half and added two more goals. Bayern arrived on a 17-win, one-draw run but were second best both in and out of possession. The loss highlighted recurring set-piece weaknesses and prevented complacency within the squad. Joshua Kimmich described the defeat as deserved and said the experience will help the team learn and improve.
