A sleepy tournament came to life as the quarter-finals kicked off with Real Madrid and Manchester City playing out a 3-3 draw and Arsenal and Bayern a 2-2 stalemate.
Leandro Trossard’s second-half equaliser gave Arsenal a 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday after Harry Kane yet again scored against his old rivals.
In London, the hosts had taken a 12th-minute lead through Bukayo Saka and dominated the early stages until former Arsenal player Serge Gnabry made it 1-1 in the 18th following a mistake by defender Gabriel. Kingsley Coman nearly scored a 90th-minute winner for Bayern, but his flick-on from close range hit the post, while Saka had a penalty appeal turned down in the fifth minute of stoppage time.The game went ahead as scheduled despite an alleged Islamic State terror threat against Champions League matches this week, and there were no incidents at the Emirates before or during the game.
