Arsenal denied Bukayo Saka penalty in Bayern Munich draw; Real Madrid and Manchester City draw 3-3

London: Leandro Trossard’s second-half equaliser gave Arsenal a 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST) after Harry Kane yet again scored against his old rivals.

Trossard rolled in a low shot in the 76th minute to make sure Bayern didn’t come away from the Emirates Stadium with another big win after Kane had put the German club ahead from the penalty spot in the first half.

Tuesday’s other clash is also delicately poisted heading into next week’s second leg after Real Madrid and Manchester City slugged out a thrilling 3-3 draw in the Spanish capital.

In London, the hosts had taken a 12th-minute lead through Bukayo Saka and dominated the early stages until former Arsenal player Serge Gnabry made it 1-1 in the 18th following a mistake by defender Gabriel.

Kane then put Bayern ahead from the penalty spot in the 25th, but two of Arsenal’s substitutes combined for the equaliser as Gabriel Jesus teed up Trossard in the area.

The last time these two teams played, Bayern routed Arsenal 10-2 on aggregate after two 5-1 wins in the round of 16 in 2017. There was, however, a sense that things would be very different this time as Arsenal are top of the Premier League while Bayern are having their worst Bundesliga season in more than a decade and has ceded the title race to Bayer Leverkusen.

But Kane, who scored a record 14 goals in north London derbies between Tottenham and Arsenal before joining the German powerhouse this season, made sure Bayern return to Germany with at least a slight advantage for the second leg at home next Wednesday (Thursday AEST).

Kingsley Coman nearly scored a 90th-minute winner for Bayern, but his flick-on from close range hit the post, while Saka had a penalty appeal turned down in the fifth minute of stoppage time.
