The real reason why Arsenal player Bukayo Saka is been blamed for Arsenal defeat vs Bayern Munich UEFA Champions League quarter-final match

Tuesday night, Arsenal was eliminated from the Champions League by Bayern Munich following a 1-0 loss in the second leg of their quarterfinal match in Germany.

Martin Keown, a former Arsenal defender, has provided his analysis of the errors that transpired during the Gunners’ Champions League loss to Bayern Munich. A decisive header in the 63rd minute by Joshua Kimmich dealt the north London club its final chance at advancing to the Champions League semifinals.

Despite exhibiting greater defensive vigilance in Munich in comparison to their earlier 2-2 draw at the Emirates, a brief moment of inattention enabled Kimmich to capitalize on a situational opportunity and stroke a goal past an unguarded David Raya. Gabriel Martinelli, in particular, appeared to have lost consciousness, allowed Kimmich to pass through, and delivered the decisive goal for Arsenal.

Anticipating that Mikel Arteta’s squad would apply considerable pressure to the hosts’ defense, some supporters may have hoped for an immediate comeback. The Mirror reports that after several minutes of silence, the anticipation was dashed, culminating in a chaotic conclusion marked by rash decisions concerning a rapid free-kick that ultimately backfired.

During his post-match analysis for TNT Sport, Keown stated, “It was extremely disappointing, and that was essentially it. (Bukayo) Saka, for whatever reason, chooses a free-kick in the dying moments when he has a tremendous opportunity to test the goalkeeper.

“In the final stages of the game, they exhibited a lack of real urgency and were largely ineffective.” Beyondly disheartening. We hardly applied any pressure to them during the second stalemate. It was available to whoever desired it. “In my opinion, Bayern exhibited greater determination, were more forthright, and presented a more formidable challenge than Arsenal.”

Keown acknowledged that the Arsenal players will be hurt but that the loss must serve as motivation for the remainder of the league season when asked how he believes they will be feeling. He continued, “They will be disappointed.”

“By the skin of the margins and on-field decision-making, everything hinges. Although the gap between the two teams was one goal, I got the impression that Arsenal failed to put forth a sufficient effort, and it seems that we just don’t seem to deliver when it matters the most.

“It is one of those situations in which one must take it up. Although every player is in pain, that pain is practically life support for the remainder of the season because you must continue to stand. The supporters’ disappointment is immense. “You desire the players to perform at their highest level, but that simply did not occur for them tonight.”

Consistent with Keown’s assessment, Arsenal manager Arteta has emphasized the urgency for his squad to recover quickly. “What we are playing for is exquisite,” asserted the Spaniard. “With six games remaining, we trail City by two points.”

“Above all, the schedule is extremely challenging. “We must endure the suffering tonight and tomorrow, rise with the same determination we had when we arrived here, and hopefully defeat the Wolves.”
