"Munich started with Manuel Neuer in goal and Konrad Laimer, Dayot Upamecano, Jonathan Tah and Josip Stanii in a back four. Aleksandar Pavlovi and Joshua Kimmich anchored a midfield featuring Michael Olise, Karl and Serge Gnabry, with Harry Kane up front. Tom Bischof, Nicolas Jackon, Leon Goretzka, Raphaël Guerreiro and Minjae Kim took over from Laimer, Gnabry, Kimmich, Karl and Upamecano in the second half."
"The first half was a balanced affair, with Bayern enjoying more of the ball. Both sides felt each other out before Neuer beat Saka to a long ball, but Arsenal took the lead when Timber headed past Neuer from Saka's corner. Eze fired wide under pressure from Kimmich, but Bayern soon levelled the scored, Kimmich's forensic pass finding Gnabry, who squared for Karl to fire into the roof of the net."
"Arsenal restored their lead when they intercepted a stray pass in Bayern's half and Calafiori's cross invited Madueke to bury past Neuer. The home side soon made it three on the break, a long ball releasing Martinelli, who evaded the onrushing Neuer and slotted home. Neuer denied Calafiori, with Kim and Goretzka seeing their shots blocked in added time as the Gunners condemned Bayern to their first defeat this season."
Arsenal beat Bayern Munich 3-1 in the Champions League, handing Bayern their first defeat of the season. Jurrien Timber gave Arsenal the early lead from a Saka corner before Bayern equalised when Joshua Kimmich set up Serge Gnabry and Lennart Karl finished. Arsenal regained control after half-time by capitalising on Bayern errors; Nono Madueke scored from a Calafiori cross and Gabriel Martinelli finished a long breakaway. Manuel Neuer produced several saves but could not prevent the two second-half goals. Bayern made multiple substitutions but failed to overturn the deficit.
