Bayern lost 1-3 to Arsenal in the fifth leg of the European Champions League (UCL) league phase of the 2025-2026 season at the Emirates Stadium in London on the 27th (Korea time). Bayern, which had 17 wins and 1 draw in 18 official matches since the opening, knelt down for the first time this season. Bayern, with four wins and one loss, fell from first to third. Arsenal, on the other hand, jumped to the lead with five wins.

The match drew attention as the first-place match. Arsenal ranks first in the English Premier League and Bayern in the German Bundesliga. Since it had all four wins in the UCL as well as in the league, it received great attention as a showdown between the strongest teams in Europe. The key was whether Kim Min-jae would play or not. In a league game against Freiburg on the 22nd Upamecano was replaced by an injury. Instead, Kim Min-jae, who entered instead, played well, and the possibility of starting was expected.




However, Vincent Kompany's choice was the Yonatantha-Upamecano combination. But the two were at their worst. Football statistics media Footmob gave Upamecano a 4.7 rating, the lowest in both teams. Germany's TZ also gave Upamecano the lowest rating of five points. The German media scored 1 to 5 points, but the lower the score, the better the performance. This media was 'very disturbing. He said he was beaten by a nutmeg and lost his sense of direction. The ride was not much different.
