The clash against Arsenal FC was another game where Bayern Munich drop points late in the Champions League, and it is starting to get frustrating. Bayern Munich now sit at 14th place in the Champions League Group Stage table, and it looks like it will be an uphill battle to qualify in the top 8 at this point. Bayern Munich now have just one win in their last 4 fixtures, and the upcoming schedule is not getting any easier. Nonetheless, here are the Match Awards for the game:Jersey Swap: Declan RiceWhat a player and what a performance. The midfield juggernaut can do anything, and that was evident in his display both in attack and defense during this match. Rice was the thorn in Bayern’s side all match, and scored the goal that stole the point on the road for Arsenal. Talk about a player that any club in the world would want on their team. Der Kaiser: Manuel NeuerWow, does it feel good to nominate Neuer as ‘Der Kaiser’ today. However, this award is not one of nostalgia or pity as Neuer is the deserving man today.

Experiments can be funSome will say Vincent Kompany threw this game. Others will say that Bayern Munich got unlucky. If Michael Olise and Joshua Kimmich had been available to start, maybe Arsenal would not have escaped the Allianz Arena with a draw. That ignores the reality of what is actually important. Arsenal FC under Mikel Arteta are a top class team. Of course, in an ideal world, Kompany would like to beat them. However, in absence of ideal conditions, he had a second option: try something new. That is exactly why fans were greeted with the baffling sight of Alphonso Davies on the left wing, with Ismael Saibari and Serge Gnabry joining Harry Kane in attack.

Here is the valuable insight Kompany can take away from a game like this:Surround Harry Kane with fast runners and you have a cheat code.
