Bayern Munich and Arsenal played out a 2-2 draw at the Allianz Arena, leaving Vincent Kompany’s side with work to do if it wants to secure a top-eight finish in the UEFA Champions League league phase.
FC Bayern now have five points from their first three matches, following a draw against Arsenal, a draw against Viking, and a win in their opening fixture. That leaves the Bavarians in a position where they cannot afford to let too many more points slip away if they want to avoid the knockout phase playoffs.
Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool lead the way with nine points apiece, while VfB Stuttgart have made an impressive start with seven points. Aston Villa, Barcelona, Manchester City, and other European heavyweights are also competing for positions near the top of the table.
The good news for FC Bayern? There is still plenty of football to play, and the squad has more than enough firepower to climb the standings. Harry Kane continues to deliver, and the draw against Arsenal showed that Bayern Munich can compete with elite opposition.
The bad news? Dropped points are dropped points, regardless of how entertaining the match might be. The Bavarians will need to turn performances into victories if a direct route to the round of 16 is the objective.
Next up is a trip to Atlético Madrid on November 3rd. FC Bayern need to make that one count.
