Bukayo Saka was met with boos from the crowd before the start of the game and continued to face hostility whenever he had possession of the ball. During the game, he attracted attention when his team, the north Londoners, took the lead. Saka was able to create some space for himself as he outmaneuvered Dier and successfully evaded Neuer to score a goal.
This electrified the atmosphere at The Emirates. Serge Gnabry, a former Gunner, equalized the score for Bayern Munich after Leon Goretzka skillfully bypassed Declan Rice to set up the goal. The all-time top goalscorer for Spurs then confidently put Bayern Munich ahead by scoring a goal past David Raya.
