Champions League: crazy evening but without a winner during Arsenal-Bayern Munich and Real Madrid-Manchester City

Le City de Bernardo Silva, qui avait lancé le match dès la 2e minute, et le Real de Bellingham se sont rendus coup pour coup. MAXPPP – JuanJo Martin

The quarter-final first leg of the Champions League resulted, on Tuesday April 9, in two very high-level encounters. And with intact suspense before the return matches.

Draw matches have never lived up to their name so poorly. The first matches of the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League offered a very high-level spectacle and a shower of goals on Tuesday. But whether between Real Madrid and Manchester City or between Arsenal and Bayern Munich, no club emerged victorious. Enough to maintain intense suspense before the return matches on April 17. And make you salivate before the PSG-Barça and Atlético Madrid-Borussia Dortmund duels this Wednesday.

In a match with a spectacular scenario, Real and City separated back to back, 3-3, Tuesday at the Bernabéu. Surprised from the start by a direct free kick from Bernardo Silva (2nd), the Madrilenians sounded the revolt thanks to Camavinga, whose shot was deflected by Ruben Dias (csc, 12th), and Rodrygo (14th) .

Arsenal and Real earn a draw

The Citizens regained the advantage with two superb goals from Foden (66th) and Gvardiol (71st), on shots from outside the area. But the Merengue equalized thanks to a sumptuous volley from Valverde (79th).

In London, Arsenal, trailing for a long time, finally won a 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich, eight days before the return leg in Germany. The leader of the English championship opened the scoring with Bukayo Saka (12th, 1-0), but was caught by Serge Gnabry (18th, 1-1) then overtaken by Harry Kane from the penalty spot ( 32nd, 1-2). The Gunners avoided defeat by incoming Leandro Trossard (76th, 2-2).
