Trossard's Strike Earns Arsenal Vital Draw Against Bayern Munich
Second-Half Equalizer Keeps Champions League Hopes Alive
March 9, 2024
In a pulsating Champions League quarter-final first leg, Leandro Trossard's second-half equalizer salvaged a crucial 2-2 draw for Arsenal against Bayern Munich on Tuesday night.
The Gunners started brightly and took the lead early on through a stunning Bukayo Saka strike. However, Bayern responded in the second half, with Kingsley Coman equalizing and Thomas Muller putting the German giants ahead.
Just when Arsenal looked to be heading for defeat, Trossard popped up with a vital goal in the 86th minute. The Belgian curled a beautiful shot into the far corner to give the Gunners a crucial away goal.
The draw extends Arsenal's winless run against Bayern to four games, but it also gives Mikel Arteta's side a vital edge heading into the second leg in Munich next week.
Arsenal will be hoping to use the momentum from this result to turn their fortunes around and secure a place in the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 2010.
