00:01Two teams are ready to go head-to-head in a match brimming with excitement.
00:06It's a showdown you don't want to miss.
00:12A warm welcome to you and thanks for joining us for another game live on EA TV.
00:17I'm Guy Mowbray, your commentator, with the professional's view provided by Stuart Robson.
00:21And with the atmosphere building up nicely, what a match this promises to be.
00:25It's Bayern Munich versus Arsenal.
00:28Well often we talk about the tactics, the individual players, players that are missing,
00:31but so often it's the mentality of the players that is key to winning any football game.
00:35Which of these teams has the right attitude today is the big question.
00:39This is today's Bayern Munich starting line-up. Manuel Neuer is in goal, Jonathan Tarr plays alongside Deo Upamecano as the centre-backs, and the main striker is Harry Kane.
00:54This is today's Bayern Munich starting line-up. Manuel Neuer is in goal, Jonathan Tarr plays alongside Deo Upamecano as the centre-backs, and the main striker is Harry Kane.
01:09This is how Arsenal line up.
01:12Well, the wingers will be key here. They have to choose the right time to give width and the right time to come infield to support the centre-forward.
01:24If they can do that, they're a potent front three, no doubt about that.
01:39The next day's kick is scarlet.
02:07so away we go
02:14as Arsenal get things started
02:15Declan Rice
02:22pushing forward

02:42oh what a dreadful tackle

03:28well as you can see he doesn't mess about here does he strong well balanced and skillful that's a top-class finish
03:52well is there to be a response from Arsenal now as they get the game restarted
04:13Arsenal trying to get things moving
04:18Arsenal trying to get things moving
04:20excellent work from the keeper
04:30to deny a promising looking attack
04:32it's been delivered
04:45Lyman
04:46Michael Olyse
04:52Kimmich
04:56closed it down well
05:10closed it down well
05:12working hard to win it back there
05:30that's a good ball
05:38set up for the shot but then he went for brute force and a cool head was needed
05:43to win it back there
05:57well he said
06:00Now Kimmich
06:04Teeing up the chance now
06:08This is really nice
06:13Another goal now would mean real control
06:15Eze
06:19Fine, but no great panic here
06:27About firing themselves level
06:28That's how to play it through
06:34Oh, it's hit the post
06:36This is for Leibniz
06:40I'm sure he thought he'd scored there
06:42Great goalkeeping
06:43Well, Arsenal won't come closer than that, will they?
06:48Can they now create another chance
06:50To get this all-important equaliser?
06:52Well, they're in possession again
06:53And maybe another opportunity developing now
06:55Oh, great chance
07:00Oh, could be here
07:07They're in here
07:08And it's opened up
07:12It might still happen
07:14A bit of a disappointing end to the attack
07:17Well, Arsenal are certainly knocking at the door here
07:21Trying to get that equaliser
07:22But they've just been denied by a wonderful piece of goalkeeping
07:26Yeah, and when they regroup
07:28The next one will surely come soon
07:29Good work from Arsenal to win back possession
07:40The game keeps going
07:43Could turn out to be a really good ball
07:46Just waiting for the moment to break through
07:51Oh, that's a great block
07:53And that's good goalkeeping in a difficult situation
07:59Lyme
08:04Olisse
08:06Arsenal come away with the ball
08:09Leandro Trossard
08:13They might be in
08:20And he's been seen and stopped
08:23Oh, he showed great awareness there
08:25That was a vital piece of play
08:27Michael Olisse
08:29The attack collapses
08:38This to be level
08:39Oh, that's fabulous from the goalkeeper
08:42Well, what a piece of goalkeeping that was
08:44He's moved so quickly to make that save
08:46Absolutely brilliant
08:48And there we are
08:50Yellow card
08:51The referee is absolutely right
08:52He knew what he was doing there
08:54Here it comes
08:59And there's the equaliser
09:02It's all square again
09:04Well, here it is again
09:20And you have to say
09:21It's the perfect delivery into the danger area
09:23And that's a very good header
09:25Under a lot of pressure
09:26It has to be said
09:27Great goal
09:28So it's one each
09:30As the game restarts
09:31Lyme
09:36Now with Kimmich
09:37There could be something building
09:39For Bayern here
09:41Getting closer
09:48Maybe that was a bit of a misconnection
09:56It's far, far too high
09:57Saka
09:59Saka
10:15Saka
10:15Chance to move over here
10:26Incredible stop
10:27Yeah, really smart piece of goalkeeping there
10:30As you said
10:31So agile
10:31The ball comes in
10:34Got his head to it
10:36But couldn't keep the effort down
10:37Away it goes
10:38Tricky this
10:47Tricky this
10:47In a tight spot
10:48Blimey
10:56Drifting on
10:57And still going
10:58And the referee's whistle
11:00Brings the first 45 minutes
11:02To a close
11:03He's asked plenty of questions
11:08Of the back line
11:09Certainly been difficult to contain
11:10Well he did most things right
11:12Didn't he
11:13He certainly showed his quality
11:14In that first half
11:15He played well I thought
11:16The whistle goes
11:23And it's time for the second act
11:25Luis Diaz
11:34A lot of room out wide
11:38For Bayern
11:38Space now
11:41To get a crossover
11:42And they won't be going
11:44Any further
11:44They're much harder
11:46To break down
11:46In those areas
11:47Aren't they
11:47Has to turn them around
11:54With a good bit of defending
11:55To stop it
11:56Diaz
12:02That has gone out
12:09It'll be a throw
12:10Excellent reading of the game
12:19To win the ball
12:19Leandro Trossard
12:23Saka
12:29And it's been safely dealt with
12:31Short corner it is
12:46Well gold kick
12:48Just as it was looking
12:49Really promising
12:50Yeah they've missed
12:52An opening there
12:52No time to dwell on the ball
12:57And the ball is won
13:01Quite brilliantly
13:02Well surely that has to
13:09Result in a card
13:10And the referee
13:11Shows the yellow card
13:12Yeah it's clumsy
13:13And it's late
13:14Definitely a yellow card
13:31Luis Diaz
13:33Harry Kane
13:38Teeing up the chance now
13:42A crucial interception
13:45Chance now for a quick transition
13:51And the counter
13:52Fizzling out in the end
13:54That's got a touch out
13:59Throw in now
14:00And into the last 30 minutes now
14:09No way through
14:17Possession lost
14:18Really snuffed out
14:20The danger there
14:21Zubi Mendy
14:29Zubi Mendy
14:36Oh should score
14:41And there's the goal
14:43To put them in front
14:45Well here we can see it again
15:00Look at the way
15:01Glides past the defender
15:02To create space for himself
15:04And from there
15:04He never looked like missing
15:06That's a lovely goal
15:07Well Arteta's reaction
15:17Says it all
15:17That's such an important goal
15:19In this game
15:20So it's 2-1
15:25As the game restarts
15:27Diaz
15:29Stanisic
15:32Oh that's been won
15:34Really smartly
15:35Leandro Trossard
15:38Promising position this
15:43Here we go
15:44Oh excellent reflexes
15:46Well I always fancy him
15:48To save that one
15:48He's really good
15:49In those situations
15:50It's been delivered
15:55Well he couldn't get free
15:57And he couldn't find the target
15:58Yeah it is off target
15:59But credit to the defender
16:01He just about did enough there
16:03Luis Diaz
16:05Arsenal regaining possession
16:09Rice
16:23Just needs the composure now
16:30Terrific point blank save
16:32Well from that sort of range
16:34It's a great save
16:35I have to say
16:36Arsenal are making a change here
16:40It's played in now
16:42Or maybe he was distracted
16:44But that's a miss
16:45Well I have to say
16:46The defender has done
16:47Just enough there
16:48To put him off
16:49Gnabry
16:53Arsenal with the ball again
16:56Serge Gnabry
17:05Well can Bayern force the equaliser
17:07Their fans certainly think so
17:09But it needs to come quickly
17:10Put on chance here
17:13And denied
17:14By a top draw tackle
17:15Yeah great tackle wasn't it
17:18Breaking a pace
17:22This could be dangerous
17:23That ultimately
17:26Has come to nothing
17:27The attack broken up
17:34Promising looking attack building here
17:41For Arsenal
17:41Oh real opportunity
17:44Oh off the post
17:46And it's with the keeper now
17:48After such a close shave
17:50Well he eventually clutches the ball
17:52But they've got lucky here
17:53That really looked like being a goal
17:55Didn't it
17:55But that's where any chance
18:06Of anything developing
18:07Disappears
18:07Meandro Trossard
18:13Played to Gabriel
18:16This is all they need to do
18:18From here
18:19As the minutes tick by
18:20Martin Erdegaard
18:23Victor Gayokides
18:25A tackle there
18:26That falls into the category
18:27Of dangerous
18:28There could be trouble coming
18:29Yep
18:32A red card
18:32And he's dismissed
18:33Well I'd love to know
18:34What was going through his mind there
18:36Making a change here
18:44Now what can they do from here
18:56Fearless block
18:57That's great defending there
18:59Gnabry
19:01Great instinct there
19:06To cut it out
19:06And that should do it
19:16A two goal cushion
19:18To rest on until the end
19:20Well here's the goal again
19:34And it's a great ball to put him through
19:36Good vision to set up the chance
19:38And then it's a pretty tidy finish too
19:40Hits it hard
19:41He hits it low
19:42And it just makes it difficult for the keeper
19:43A really nice goal
19:45And away we go again
19:52At 3-1 now
19:53Tom
19:58Bayern exploiting the space
20:01On the flank
20:02A miscue in the final third there
20:12And they could get caught out on the break here
20:16Well it's been disappointing
20:29For the home team
20:30And the boos echoing around the stadium
20:32Say it all
20:33That red card
20:34Seem to really turn the tide against them
20:37Yeah the fans don't like it
20:38But as a team
20:39You have to adapt
20:40And today
20:40They didn't do that well enough
20:42Well he really has
20:46Put in a first class performance today
20:48Absolutely magnificent
20:50Well that was a great performance
20:52His understanding of how to find space
20:54Was brilliant today
20:55And of course he scored two really good goals
