Manuel Neuer believes Bayern Munich can take some positives from their 2-2 draw with Arsenal, despite the frustration of conceding a late equalizer.
The Bayern captain acknowledged that both sides were evenly matched on the night and felt the result was ultimately fair, even if the manner in which Bayern surrendered their lead left a bitter taste.
“It was a game at an equal level. Of course, it’s annoying to concede the equalizer at the end of the game, but I think it’s an okay result,” Neuer said

Neuer also made it clear that Bayern Munich cannot afford to dwell on the dropped points, with several important Champions League fixtures still ahead. Away trips to Atlético Madrid and Lille will present significant challenges, while Bayern must take advantage of their home matches if they want to strengthen their position in the competition.
“We still have some tough fixtures like Atlético Madrid and Lille away. We also have home games where we should be expected to win. We just have to do our homework in the coming weeks,” Neuer said.
The message from Neuer is straightforward: Bayern have put themselves in a position to compete, but they must deliver consistently over the coming weeks. The draw against Arsenal is not a disaster, but Bayern will need to turn solid performances into victories if they want to make their ambitions a reality.
