Bayern Munich vs Arsenal LIVE: Champions League goals, latest score and updates as Martinelli starts

That allows Gabriel Martinelli to launch in the next phase, a reptilian weave taking him past three defenders. But the Brazilian isn’t quite in total control of the ball, which trickles harmlessly through to Manuel Neuer.

Declan Rice rattles the legs of Leon Goretzka with a shot from 20 yards, the midfielder not quite able to open an angle through to goal with his shot. That’s good, though, from William Saliba, commandingly in front of Harry Kane to prevent Bayern Munich from clearing their lines.

A first talking to of the night for Jorginho, his clipping of Jamal Musiala’s heels slightly too rough for Danny Makkelie’s liking. An amiable enough chat.

Noussair Mazraoui drives inside, producing a sublime pass to switch play to Leroy Sane, with Takehiro Tomiyasu misjudging the flight and selling himself. Sane gets to the byline, with a couple of teammates helping Tomiyasu out to force his cutback behind.

A corner. Joshua Kimmich to deliver…headed away. A first real sign of Bayern’s quick switch attacking threat, though.

The intensity of the chanting from the home support just begins to dip for the first time, Arsenal taking the sting out with a period of calm, controlled possession. Bayern were relatively happy to play without the ball in the first leg – it appears that they have started with a similar strategy here.

Leon Goretzka and Declan Rice are two similarly-sized midfielders, both long striders with punch in their frames. The pair jostle inside the Bayern half, with Rice getting the better of the encounter and finding Bukayo Saka wide on the right. Neat feet from the winger create a crossing opportunity but his delivery is overhit.

Takehiro Tomiyasu is having plenty of touches early on, moving infield to create an option alongside Jorginho in the en vogue tactical tweak that so many managers are now using. Further ahead, Gabriel Martinelli is lively, too, almost skipping beyond a couple of home defenders before curling about four yards wide of Manuel Neuer’s left-hand post.

A delightful turn from Jamal Musiala, but a stumble allows Declan Rice to dispossess him powerfully. Rice is soon on the floor himself, though, slipping on what looks a slightly greasy surfae, allowing Harry Kane to release a snapshot. Not his best; David Raya will have a goal kick.

A first sniff for Harry Kane, Joshua Kimmich supporting Leroy Sane on the outside and picking out the England captain. Kane prods a shot at goal under pressure but can’t divert it on target.

The pre-match flares and fireworks have left a pretty thick layer of smoke that is still climbing out the stadium, the supporters barking through it with the atmopshere electric in these opening skirmishes. Leon Goretzka intercepts as Arsenal make the first error in possession, allowing Bayern Munich to settle in.
