Honours even at the Allianz Arena, but worries over Saka

Arsenal secured a 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich in a Champions League clash at the Allianz Arena on October 21, 2026, but the result was marred by an early injury to Bukayo Saka. Saka was forced off in the first half clutching his thigh, causing medical staff concern. Eberechi Eze came on as a substitute and opened the scoring for Arsenal before Alphonso Davies equalized for the German side.

Harry Kane put Bayern ahead via a second-half penalty after Jurrien Timber blocked a shot with his hand. Declan Rice subsequently struck a low equalizer across Manuel Neuer following an assist from Viktor Gyokeres to ensure the points were shared. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta confirmed the team is concerned about Saka's condition ahead of full medical assessments.
