Bayern Munich faces Arsenal at home in the second leg of the 2023/24 Champions League quarter-finals . Coach Tuchel let Laimer play in central midfield with Goretzka and let Kimmich play right wing back. Meanwhile, Arsenal has almost no change compared to usual. 

Arsenal and Bayern Munich compete very closely

The two teams started the match quite quickly. Harry Kane took the first shot followed by Martinelli’s response. Unfortunately, the goal did not come soon. Gradually, the two teams returned to a solid playing position and the first half ended without any goals scored.

Right at the beginning of the second half, the ball found its way to Arsenal’s goal post after Goretzka’s header. The away team could not hold the ball and was constantly pressured. The goal finally came for Bayern Munich in the 63rd minute. The scorer was Kimmich with a powerful header in the penalty area.

After getting the goal, Bayern Munich played even better and had several good opportunities. Unfortunately, the home team’s strikers could not take advantage. On the contrary, Arsenal appeared deadlocked and opportunities came from individual efforts. However, neither Odegaard nor Saka could find a goal. At the end of 90 minutes, Bayern Munich narrowly won against Arsenal and this score was enough for Tuchel and his team to qualify for the semi-finals.
