FC Bayern’s winning streak comes to an end in the top game at Arsenal. Manuel Neuer doesn’t look good twice. The individual criticism.
Harry Kane wiped his wet hair in disappointment, Manuel Neuer snuck off the pitch with his head hanging after a used evening. The almost infallible dominators of Bayern Munich have suffered the first setback on their triumphal march through Europe.
In the next Champions League summit, coach Vincent Kompany’s team lost 1:3 (1:1) to the standard kings of Arsenal FC after an error-filled performance. The dream series of 18 games without defeat is broken and the lead in the premier class is lost for the time being.
After the exclamation points against club world champions FC Chelsea (3:1) and being outnumbered by defending champions Paris Saint-Germain (2:1), only super boy Lennart Karl (32nd) scored against the sovereign leaders of the Premier League. Jurrien Timber from a corner (22′), Noni Madueke (69′) and Gabriel Martinelli (77′) were successful for the Gunners.
With twelve points from five games, Bayern still have their sights firmly set on their stated goal for the league phase, namely direct qualification for the round of 16.
