Vincent Kompany has labelled Arsenal a “top opponent” after his Bayern Munich side were held to a draw on Wednesday night.
"We’re in a phase with so many games right now, you just have to move on to the next game quickly,” he told DAZN. “We faced a strong opponent, we felt it, we saw it. I think we had our moments.
“A few big chances that I didn’t think we’d get. A bit of a shame, because the last ten to 15 minutes we suffered. It took a bit of our momentum. We still had the feeling we could win the game, maybe had too.
“But this is a strong opponent and the game was never over. In that moment, the equaliser is a shame.

"Arsenal pressed as intensely as we did. In these phases we were dangerous. We didn’t always find the right moment to get into the final third, but I think we probably put ourselves in those positions a bit more than Arsenal.
“In those moment we threaten - two or three chances when we had the numbers advantage.
“But this was a top opponent and I wouldn’t say it was total dominance because Arsenal had phases when they were better. Perhaps a fair result, even if we had more big chances."
