Bayern Munich and Arsenal played out a 2-2 draw in the Champions League on Wednesday at the Allianz Arena. Eberechi Eze gave Arsenal an early lead after receiving a long ball from Martin Odegaard, but Bayern equalised through Alphonso Davies. Harry Kane then put Bayern ahead from a penalty before Declan Rice struck in the 82nd minute to level the match and secure a point for the visitors.

The match was overshadowed by an injury to Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka, who limped out of the contest in the 10th minute after falling while attempting a pass and clutching his knee. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said the club was "concerned" about the severity of the injury following the draw.

Bayern Munich played without winger Michael Olise, who was suspended after receiving two yellow cards within a minute during last week's Champions League match against Viking, which ended 3-3. According to reports, Olise, born in London and a product of Arsenal's junior system, had been in good form for Bayern prior to his suspension.
