Bayern Munich's Champions League campaign is showing signs of inconsistency after they dropped points at home for the second time in three games, drawing 2-2 with Arsenal at the Allianz Arena. The result leaves them with five points from three matches, already trailing the pace set by the competition's early leaders. A side missing Joshua Kimmich, absent due to a family bereavement, and the suspended Michael Olise fought back twice but could not hold on after Declan Rice equalised in the 82nd minute.

Harry Kane was the standout performer, setting up Alphonso Davies for the first equaliser with a pass described by his own club as one of the finest of his career, then converting a penalty to make it 2-1. His goal extended a remarkable run of scoring in ten consecutive Champions League appearances, a sequence bettered only by Cristiano Ronaldo in the competition's history. Yet even Kane's brilliance could not disguise the broader picture: Vincent Kompany's side have now drawn both away and home games in Europe this season.

The injury concern hanging over Luis Diaz adds further pressure. The Colombian winger, who scored a hat-trick against Leipzig days earlier, aggravated a muscle problem after coming off the bench and had to be withdrawn before the final whistle. Kompany admitted he has "some concerns." With a Bundesliga trip to Freiburg on Sunday already on the horizon, the squad's depth and fitness will be tested again quickly.
