FC Bayern’s Resurgence: Impressive Performance in Champions League Quarter-Final

FC Bayern is back on the big stage:

The 2-2 draw with English football leaders FC Arsenal in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League was a statement from the recently troubled Munich team, who are heading into the return match next Wednesday (9 p.m., Servus TV, Sky, DAZN) in the domestic Allianz with promotion ambitions. Arena will go.

Still, it wasn’t all pure bliss. Serge Gnabry, who has just returned from an injury break, tore a muscle fiber and will be absent from the virtually dethroned German champions for several weeks.

In addition, a missed penalty in the 67th minute – at which point Bayern were leading 2-1 – caused things to flare up.

“This is just unbelievable”

What happened? After a substitution was made, the Swedish referee Glenn Nyberg whistled the match again, Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya played the goal kick in the penalty area towards defender Gabriel, who picked up the ball in his hands to take it again (for a different variation of the pass ). According to the regulations, this was a crystal clear penalty.

“I don’t know. The referee saw it clearly. The mistake was just too stupid for him, too petty to give a penalty. But he’s there to implement the rules,” said veteran Thomas Müller, who was not used.

Head coach Thomas Tuchel, who proved that he can still make the team, was also annoyed by this scene. “It’s a crystal clear hand penalty. The referee says to our players: ‘Yes, but it’s a child’s mistake, I won’t whistle that in the Champions League quarter-finals.’ “Something like that is a completely new way of interpreting the rules. It’s just unbelievable,” said the 50-year-old.

Saka against Neuer

Instead of possibly 3:1 for Bayern, a little later it was 2:2 (76th). “Joker” Leandro Trossard scored for Arsenal FC, who also vehemently claimed a penalty in the turbulent finish with a shot from the pole by Kingsley Coman (Bayern). Probably wrongly: In the 95th minute, Bukayo Saka went around the goalie Manuel Neuer, who was standing in front of him, but then accurately sought contact, i.e. the number 1’s leg, which was not actively moving. In this case, Neuer couldn’t disappear into thin air.

Regardless, Bayern star Joshua Kimmich spoke of a “mature performance”. Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta criticized his team: “We did such simple things badly, but our chances are absolutely intact. We have the quality to win in Munich too.”

Due to the abolition of the away goals rule, the starting position is also the same in the parallel match between Real Madrid and defending champions Manchester City. In any case, the 3-3 draw was an advertisement for football. Nevertheless, Toni Kroos, one of the stars of the Spanish league leaders, found a fly in the ointment: “If you equalize at the end, you have to leave the game with a really good feeling. But I’m not happy with the result because We had a chance at 2-1 to make it 3-1.”

On Thursday (6.45 p.m.) ORF 1 will broadcast the Conference League quarter-final Olympiakos against Fenerbahce, Servus TV will show the Europa League hit Atalanta Bergamo against Liverpool (9 p.m.).
