What a match! I'm still in shock that Arsenal managed to pull off that 3-1 win over Bayern 
. That Bukayo Saka free-kick was pure magic 
. And can we talk about Martin Odegaard's finishing skills? 
He's been on fire lately and his goal was a beautiful finish. I'm loving this UCL campaign so far and I think Arsenal's got a real shot at making it to the knockout phase 
. Bayern will need to step up their game if they want to mount a comeback, but you never know in football 
. One thing's for sure, it's been an absolute thrill ride watching this match unfold 
.

Bukayo Saka is a genius, I mean what can't he do?! 
Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Jesus were unstoppable together, they're like the dynamic trio of football 
Bayern will have to bring their A-game if they wanna take down Arsenal in the next match 
bukayo saka is literally a genius on the field, his freekick was insane 
Aaron ramsdale was the real hero for that double save tho 
Arsenal's win was so satisfying to watch! Their attack is looking super strong right now, especially with Saka and Odegaard playing together. I think they have a real shot at making it all the way in this tournament. Bayern Munich will definitely come back stronger for the 2nd leg though - they can't let one loss go to waste 
. One match left to seal the deal... bring on the next game!
