Mikel Arteta speaks to TNT Sports. “Wow, what a game … that’s one of the highest levels we have played … the level of opposition and our level as well … two teams that wanted to attack and play … a fascinating game … we started the game incredibly well … then we lost Bukayo [Saka] who was having a great game … we had to adapt … in the second half the game was very even … they are a bit concerned [about Saka] … when a player has to come off with sharp pain it is never good news … we have to wait and see … Bayern batter every team … so I really value what the boys did tonight … it is special.”

10.17pm BST

As Kane departs the TNT interview booth, Declan Rice replaces him. “For me Kane is the clear winner [of the Ballon d’Or] … his numbers speak for themselves … the year he’s had has been remarkable … when you play with him, you realise how good he is … when you play against him, you realise how much of a pain it is … as a striker, to play that pass for that goal … he’s ridiculous … such a good player … so happy [to score] … I lost my runner and I was in on the goal … 2-2 was a good spectacle … we could have had more … we aren’t coming here to just sit … match them … go man to man … at times it’s tough … onto the next, we’ve got to keep going.”

10.13pm BST

Harry Kane gives TNT the Bayern perspective. “A little bit of disappointment … when we look at the whole 90 minutes the draw was a fair result … we had a good spell after we scored the first goal … we looked like the team that was going to win … we had a couple of moments when we could have killed the game but didn’t … we can’t be too disappointed … we take the point and move on … I’m proud of the way I executed the penalty … nice to get on the scoresheet and help the team … I always seem to get a penalty against Arsenal … overall feeling good … hopefully I can keep it up … we have to believe [we can win the Champions League] … we’re a strong enough team … we were missing some key players tonight … we play second in the league on Sunday [in fact third-place Freiburg] … you have to roll with it … try to improve as you go along … a demanding part of the schedule … it’d be a massive honour [to win the Ballon d’Or on Monday] … I’ve made it clear I don’t like to talk about myself but of course I know it’d be a massive achievement if it does happen … Monday could be a big evening for me personally … I’m looking forward to it … hopefully I can enjoy the day and evening on Monday!”

Harry Kane and Declan Rice embrace each other. The England team-mates in Full Respect mode after a to-and-fro tussle that ends with the spoils shared. It wasn’t a classic from first minute until last, but when both teams hit the heights, they really did so in style. In the first half, Martin Ødegaard and Kane took turns to set up goals with creamy, dreamy long passes from deep; Eberechi Eze and Alphonso Davies came up with the top-drawer finishes they deserved. Kane then earned and converted a spot kick that looked to have won the game for Bayern, until Viktor Gyökeres set up Rice for the late equaliser. Arsenal won’t be winning the league phase with a 100-percent record this time, but just like last season, they look like they’ll take some beating as their quest to finally land the big one goes on. Bayern meanwhile are Bayern; they’ll be there or there abouts, won’t they?

9.52pm BST

FULL TIME: Bayern Munich 2-2 Arsenal The whistle goes on a fair result.

9.51pm BST

90 min +2: Rice goes long, and Tah clears. That set-piece was a surprising non-event from Arsenal’s point of view.

9.50pm BST

90 min +1: Raya goes long. Timber picks up possession just to the left of the Bayern D, and aims a power curler towards the top left. Neuer is forced to tip over the bar. Rice to take the corner.

9.49pm BST

90 min: Diaz can’t continue. Ndiaye replaces him. There will be three additional minutes.

9.48pm BST

89 min: Diaz goes down with nobody around him. Laimer puts the ball out so his team-mate can get some medical attention.

9.46pm BST

87 min: The Bayern fans are still in good voice, especially impressive seeing their team haven’t given them much to sing about for a while. Arsenal look the more likely to find a winner.

9.44pm BST

85 min: Merino, who knows a thing or two about scoring late winners, comes on for Odegaard. Meanwhile for the hosts, Brown replaces Davies.

9.43pm BST

83 min: Gyökeres barrels after a long pass down the left and nearly gets the better of Upamecano. Nearly, not quite, the big defender doing just enough to hold the striker off. But Arsenal have their tails up now!

9.42pm BST

GOAL! Bayern Munich 2-2 Arsenal (Rice 82) … but suddenly Arsenal spring into life, and score another fine goal! Gyokeres plays a cute ball round the corner for Rice down the inside-right channel. Rice bursts into the box and threads a powerful low drive through Neuer and into the bottom left!

Updated at 9.53pm BST

9.40pm BST

81 min: Arsenal are hogging the ball without doing too much with it. Bayern holding their pose.

9.38pm BST

79 min: This has become rather scrappy. Arsenal won’t mind that at all. Bayern no longer in full flow.

9.36pm BST

77 min: Diaz picks up possession from Davies on the left-hand corner of the Arsenal box, and warms Raya’s palms with a next-to-no-backlift curler towards the bottom right. Fine play all round.

9.34pm BST

75 min: Bayern stroke it around patiently. Neither team seems willing to make a big move right now.

9.32pm BST

73 min: The pace drops. The Bayern fans are in good voice nonetheless.

9.32pm BST

71 min: Bischof steals the ball off Lewis-Skelley and feeds Kane, who in turn releases Davies down the left. Davies makes his way into the Arsenal box, but Madueke gets back on the cover to usher the ball out for a goal kick. Arsenal were in a bit of bother for second there, so they can be thankful to Madueke for his hard work, and to Kane for hesitating a little bit too much upon launching that counter.

9.28pm BST

69 min: … and Arsenal respond by replacing Guimaraes and Havertz with Gyökeres and Lewis-Skelly.

9.27pm BST

68 min: Bayern replace Saibari and Gnabry with Luis Diaz and Karl …

9.27pm BST

67 min: Odegaard curls the free kick into the mixer. Havartz tries to prod home from a mid a melee. He can’t do it. Bayern counter en masses, and Laimer creams a low drive inches wide of the left-hand post.

9.25pm BST

66 min: Eze one-twos with Havertz down the inside left and draws a foul from Laimer. A free kick, just outside the box to the left. Odegaard to take.

9.23pm BST

64 min: Bayern press, Bayern probe.

9.22pm BST

63 min: Raya is fouled as the corner comes in, and the pressure is off Arsenal. But Bayern are clearly in the mood for more. A big five-to-ten minutes coming up.

9.22pm BST

62 min: Davies jinks in from the left and should shoot. He overthinks it and is crowded out. That was a decent half-chance. But Bayern come again, Gnabry winning a corner down the right. Bischof to take.

9.20pm BST

GOAL! Bayern Munich 2-1 Arsenal (Kane 61 pen) Kane makes no mistake! A stuttered run-up. Then a whip into the top left, Raya having been sent the other way. Unstoppable, even if Raya had decided correctly.

Updated at 9.34pm BST

9.19pm BST

Penalty to Bayern! 60 min: A low cross from the right finds Kane on the edge of the box. Kane smacks a drive goalwards. Timber, sliding in with one arm up, pays the price for doing so, the ball hitting that arm. Penalty!

9.18pm BST

58 min: Bischof pings a diagonal towards Kane on the left-hand edge of the Arsenal D. Kane heads down to Davies, who can’t get to the ball in time for a shot. But no matter from Bayern’s perspective, because …

9.15pm BST

56 min: The first lull in a long while.

9.14pm BST

54 min: Eze enters the box and drops a shoulder to get past Laimer down the left. He shoots from a tight angle. There’s a melee, and the ball’s eventually hacked clear. Both defences creaking a bit, but holding firm at the moment.

9.12pm BST

52 min: Tah plays a long pass down the left to find Saibari, who enters the Arsenal box before scuffing his shot. Saibari’s got himself into some good positions tonight, only to … well, that’s a start, though, isn’t it?

9.10pm BST

50 min: … and now it’s Raya’s turn to make an outstanding stop! Gnabry crosses from the right. Upamecano powers a header goalwards; from point-blank range, Raya somehow parry-scoops away! Two of the finest saves you’ll see in a long while!

9.09pm BST

48 min: … but Arsenal have come back out with intent, too, and Eze wins the first corner since the restart with a dribble down the left. Rice hits it long. Guimaraes wins a header at the far stick, six yards out. He plants a downward header towards the bottom right. It’s surely a goal, but Neuer somehow shovels it up off the line, off the crossbar, and away. What a save! Not quite on the Banks-Pele level, but not far off!

Updated at 9.24pm BST

9.05pm BST

46 min: Kane is quickly on the ball, nearly releasing Gnabry down the middle with a route-one pass. Gabriel is on point to intercept. So close to a super-fast start to the second half for the hosts.

9.04pm BST

Bayern get the second half started. They’ve made a change, switching out Minjae Kim for Jonathan Tah.

8.55pm BST

Half-time entertainment.

8.47pm BST

HALF TIME: Bayern Munich 1-1 Arsenal It took a while for his match to get going, but it was worth the wait. Odegaard to Eze was sensational; so was Kane to Davies. Good luck predicting the outcome of this.

8.46pm BST

45 min +1: Raya picks the corner without fuss.

8.46pm BST

45 min: Kane plays a cute pass round the corner to release Gnabry down the right. Davies is free on the left, but Gnabry opts to shoot from distance. Poor decision. His effort is deflected out for a corner, but Davies had Raya and the goal in his sights. There will be two additional minutes.

8.44pm BST

44 min: Davies is everywhere at the moment. He barrels down the left and earns Bayern a corner. Gnabry whips towards the near post, where Timber heads clear. Bayern have been much improved in the last few minutes; what a difference a goal makes.

8.43pm BST

42 min: Rice’s delivery skims off the top of Laimer’s head at the near post. The ball nearly loops into the bottom right. Calafiori tries to force it home, but can only ripple the side netting. Laimer gets away with a big one there, because for a couple of split seconds, that had own goal written all over it.

8.41pm BST

41 min: Kane shoots. Blocked. Arsenal counter. Eze crosses from the left. That’s deflected out for a corner. This isn’t going to end 1-1.

8.40pm BST

39 min: Kane is caught late by Konsa’s lunge on the halfway line. Bayern are gifted the advantage, but Davies and Gnabry aren’t able to combine as they barrel towards the Arsenal box. Rice gets in the road to nix the attack. Then Konsa goes into the book. Kane is not happy with his England team-mate.

8.38pm BST

37 min: That was a peach of a goal. What a finish! But what a pass! Good luck deciding which of the Odegaard-Eze and Kane-Davies combinations is the most outrageously good. You could spend all night debating it. The assists and finishes so far tonight have been from the top drawer.

8.36pm BST

GOAL! Bayern Munich 1-1 Arsenal (Davies 35) … so having said that, they split Arsenal open with absurd ease! Another Kane pass from deep. Almost from the centre spot, he forensically rolls a pass down the inside-left channel to release Davies, who gets in ahead of last man Timber, opens his body upon reaching the edge of the box, and passes across Raya and into the bottom right!

Updated at 8.54pm BST

8.34pm BST

33 min: Saibari has a dig from 25 yards. The ball flies 25 yards over the bar. Bayern already reduced to this.

8.33pm BST

32 min: Bayern are struggling to play out from the back. Arsenal’s press too much for them. A couple of long hoicks forward that come to nothing. Mikel Arteta will be delighted right now.

8.31pm BST

30 min: … and sends it long. This time it’s Guimaraes level with the far post, six yards out. He shins his volley wide left. He joins Calafiori in the Should Have Scored column, and from exactly the same blade of grass as well. Bayern haven’t dealt with these corners at all.

8.30pm BST

29 min: Bayern haven’t responded to that blow. They’ve not managed to get forward at all. And now Madueke probes down the right to win another Arsenal corner. Odegaard comes across to take …

8.28pm BST

27 min: The goal was initially ruled out for offside, but VAR double-checked and turns out Stanišić was playing Eze on. The substitute hasn’t taken long to make his presence felt. And what a pass forward by Odegaard!

8.26pm BST

GOAL! Bayern Munich 0-1 Arsenal (Eze 25) Odegaard mid-irons a long fade down the left to release Eze. As simple as that! Eze enters the box, takes his time, lets the ball sit up twice, and larrups a low bouncer across Neuer and into the bottom right!

Updated at 8.57pm BST

8.24pm BST

23 min: Kane quarterbacks another fine long pass from deep, finding Saibari inside the Arsenal box down the inside-right channel. Saibari can’t control. Goal kick. Bayern must wish Kane could somehow launch these passes to himself.

8.23pm BST

21 min: Bayern launch a quick counter, Kane taking the goal kick, spraying a pass down the left for Davies. The ball’s shuttled to Gnabry down the inside-right channel. Gnabry enters the box and shoots low and hard towards the bottom left. Raya saves well, but that should have been a goal as well. Somewhere in the multiverse, it’s 1-1 after a short-order exchange of goals.

8.21pm BST

20 min: Odegaard swings in from the right. Neuer comes for the ball and flaps. The ball drops to Calafiori, six yards out, level with the far stick. Calafiori should score, but leans back and hoicks over. What a miss!

Updated at 8.24pm BST

8.20pm BST

19 min: Madueke and Timber combine down the right to earn the second first corner of the evening. Odegaard wanders over to take.

8.19pm BST

17 min: Davies dribbles hard down the left and enters the Arsenal box. Gabriel sticks to his shoulder, so Davies can’t get a shot away from a tight angle. Gabriel flicks the ball out for a corner … but Bayern strangely don’t get it.

8.17pm BST

15 min: Kim pings a speculative pass down the left for Davies, who nearly manages to nip past Timber at high speed, only for the defender to give him a gentle tap on the back, one that causes him to take an extra step that sends both ball and player over the byline. Goal kick. Saucy defending.

8.14pm BST

13 min: Havertz goes into the book for a late slide into Stanišić. Things suddenly not going Arsenal’s way.

8.13pm BST

12 min: “Word precludes me from tuning in on Paramount+ in the States,” begins Jeff Necessary, Gunner in North Carolina, “so keeping the MBM open for occasional checks. Given the way Arsenal first halves have gone lately, I may not miss much for a while.” Well, Jeff, you’ve got that damn straight at the moment.

8.10pm BST

10 min: Saka is able to get up, but he’s limping heavily and not happy. He blows out in frustration as he hobbles off. Eze comes on in his place.

8.09pm BST

8 min: Saka spins Davies down the right, but the Canadian international comes back at his man to ensure the Arsenal winger doesn’t enter the box. Saka nips infield instead, then takes a clumsy prod at the ball before grabbing his thigh and crumpling to the floor in pain. This doesn’t look great.

Updated at 8.16pm BST

8.07pm BST

6 min: Saka and Havertz combine down the inside-right channel, the latter entering the Bayern box. Havertz scuffs a cross; Saka can’t force the ball home from the middle of a melee on the edge of the six-yard box. Bayern clear, but Arsenal will be very happy with these early attacks.

8.05pm BST

4 min: Raya passes long. Timber cushions a header in from the right for Saka, who shuttles the ball further across towards Madueke. For a second, it looks like Bayern have been opened up with a couple of simple passes, but Madueke clanks into Laimer and the danger is gone.

8.02pm BST

2 min: Pinball + hot potato = shapeless first 120 seconds.

8.00pm BST

Vincent Kompany and Mikel Arteta worked with each other at Manchester City. When the former emerges from the tunnel, the pair embrace warmly and have a quick catch-up. And then Arsenal get the game started.

7.58pm BST

The teams are out! Bayern are in one of their all-red phases, while Arsenal are harking back to the early 90s with a blue version of the famous bruised banana. Vincent Kompany is in the house, by the way, having recovered from a virus that threatened to keep him in bed. And so is Germany boss Jurgen Klopp, in the stands flashing that smile and throwing his arm around the shoulder of another erstwhile Liverpool manager, Rafael Benitez. Everyone having a good time, it seems, and looking forward to this big showdown, including Arsenal fan Charles Antaki … well, kind of: “Pretty dismal, the fare served up in the game against Forest. But! Pundits have assured us that because Bayern are going to be on the attack, Arsenal will be free to entertain us with a dazzling display of skill, ambition, irresistible cheeks and above all, goals. Not much to say about that except We Shall See.” We’ll be off in a minute or two.

7.47pm BST

Mikel Arteta speaks to TNT Sports. “We’re gonna have to play, I expect, three or four different games at different stages … we need everybody ready because we need to change and adapt to that … freshness … very excited … we have talked about our enthusiasm for playing on these big stages … that’s where you want to get tested … play with a lot of courage … a lot of aggression … be decisive … we have prepared for what we have to do.”

6.30pm BST

Preamble Arsenal’s last three visits to Munich have ended badly. In reverse order: 0-1 (2024), 1-5 (2017), 1-5 (2015). All three worthy of a large bräukeller-infused GULP. On the other hand, Arsenal won the last meeting between these two sides, 3-1 last November at the Emirates, and they go into this match having won 10 of their 11 games in all competitions so far this season. Bayern by contrast aren’t at their usual steamrolling best: OK, they’ve just mullered RB Leipzig 6-1, but before that they dropped Bundesliga points at Augsburg (2-2) and should really have been beaten by Viking in a 3-3 draw last week. So both teams have positives to draw on and negatives to try their best to ignore. Kick-off is at 8pm BST. It’s on!
