News about Serge Gnabry

Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel has boldly predicted Serge Gnabry will mark his return from injury by scoring against Real Madrid in their Champions League semi-final first leg. The German giants welcome Real Madrid to the Allianz Arena on Tuesday night, with Tuchel admitting he is facing several last minute decisions due to fitness concerns. Dayot Upamecano, Leroy Sane, Konrad Laimer and Jamal Musiala are among the injury doubts heading into the clash.

Bayern Munich have been dealt another injury blow ahead of the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie against Arsenal. The German club drew 2-2 with the Gunners in the first leg at Emirates Stadium this week. That was followed by a 2-0 victory at home to Koln in the Bundesliga, with Raphael Guerreiro and Thomas Muller getting on the scoresheet.

After weeks of anticipation, the Champions League came back with a bang for their quarter-final fixtures.  With 18 goals from just four matches, fans across Europe were treated to a handful of thrilling games, ranging from Arsenal's draw with Bayern to Barcelona's comeback at PSG.  It was a difficult night for both Arsenal and their title rivals Manchester City, who were held to a dramatic 3-3 draw with Spanish giants Real Madrid. 

Arsenal have been handed a slight boost in their hopes of progressing to the Champions League semi-finals, with one Bayern Munich forward ruled out of the return leg.  The Gunners head to Bavaria and the Allianz Arena on the back of a 2-2 draw at home, with Serge Gnabry and Harry Kane netting for the visitors in between strikes for Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard.  However it was perhaps two controversial moments concerning penalties that dominated the discourse in the fallout from the game. 

Unlike most players who score against a former team, Serge Gnabry did not hold back in celebrating his strike against Arsenal on Tuesday night. The winger fired Bayern Munich level in the 18th minute after Bukayo Saka had broken the deadlock with a crisp finish into the corner. Gnabry similarly took his chance well, prodding the ball between the legs of the spread David Raya. The German international spent five seasons in north London at the start of his career before leaving for Werder Bremen in 2016.

Thierry Henry believes that Declan Rice shoulders the blame for the concession of Arsenal 's first goal in their 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich on Tuesday night. Mikel Arteta 's side were held at the Emirates in the Champions League quarter-final first-leg, as goals from Serge Gnabry and Harry Kane cancelled out that of Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard. The Gunners had taken the lead after Saka's pinpoint finish but were soon pegged back after a rare mix up at the back.

Gabriel and Saliba were both handed a 'five' for their woes and misdemeanours as Arsenal surrendered their grip on the game and let an out-of-form Bayern capitalise. The former was beat to the ball by Serge Gnabry for Bayern's first goal before a controversial handball - which wasn't given - in the second half. Meanwhile, Saliba gave away the penalty that allowed Harry Kane to equalise for Bayern and fell short of his typical excellence.

Rafael Van der Vaart has taken aim at Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya for his role in Harry Kane's penalty in Tuesday night's Champions League clash. After a brilliant start from the Gunners - Bukayo Saka scoring just 12 minutes in - Bayern Munich found themselves 2-1 up inside the first half, Serge Gnabry and Kane with the goals. While the hosts eventually drew level again in the second half with Leandro Trossard finishing off a well-crafted team goal, the Bavarian giants went home knowing that they will have the crucial home advantage for the deciding tie. 

A handful of supporters landed blows on the man while most in the vicinity paid little attention - before some started chanting 'Arsenal, Arsenal'. Bayern fans had been banned from attending the match after throwing fireworks on to the pitch at Lazio in the last 16.

AADAM PATEL AT THE EMIRATES STADIUM: Arsenal they were given a lesson by a Bayern Munich side, that may be in a run of woeful form, but were driven here by their sheer desire to not end the season trophyless. Not since 2012 have Bayern done that and two minutes after White shot straight at Manuel Neuer when he only had the keeper to beat, Serge Gnabry levelled after an Arsenal mistake. The crowd were silenced and the complexion of the game shifted as Thomas Tuchel's side grew in confidence. They went ahead 14 minutes later through a Harry Kane penalty before Leandro Trossard ensured that it would end all square, heading to Munich next week.

ISAAN KHAN AT THE EMIRATES: Harry Kane was denied a fairytale return to north London as Arsenal hit back to claim a 2-2 draw from an exhilarating Champions League quarter-final first leg with Bayern Munich. Tottenham's all-time record scorer claimed his 15th career goal in 20 appearances against the Gunners by converting a first-half penalty to put the German club on course for victory at a raucous Emirates Stadium. But substitute Leandro Trossard left the tie perfectly poised ahead of next week's return match with a 76th-minute equaliser after Bukayo Saka's early opener was cancelled out by former Arsenal forward Serge Gnabry.

OLIVER HOLT AT THE EMIRATES: Arsenal had conceded two goals in their last ten games before this tie. Against Bayern Munich, they conceded two goals in just 14 minutes. Bayern are European aristocracy and instead of laughing at how frayed their robes have become, for much of the game, Arsenal bowed to them. They took an early lead through Bukayo Saka in the first leg of their first Champions League quarter-final for 14 years but were soon pegged back by a fine Bayern equaliser from Serge Gnabry. Harry Kane, who had scored 14 goals for Spurs in his previous 19 appearances against Arsenal and is the record scorer in north London derbies, made it 15 in 20 with a first half penalty. It was his 39th goal of the season.

ISAAN KHAN AT THE EMIRATES: Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane returned to north London to score his customary goal against Arsenal as the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie ended 2-2 on Tuesday. The former Tottenham Hotspur player, so often Arsenal's nemesis in north London derbies, stroked home a penalty in the 32nd minute as the Bundesliga side came from behind to lead 2-1. Premier League leaders Arsenal, playing in their first Champions League quarter-final for 14 years, had gone in front early on with a clinical Bukayo Saka strike. But Arsenal were stunned as their former striker Serge Gnabry levelled six minutes later and then Kane rolled home his 39th goal of the season in all competitions after Leroy Sane was fouled in the box.

Rio Ferdinand criticised Arsenal's 'naivety' after Mikel Arteta's side let their one-goal lead slip against Bayern Munich in Tuesday's Champions League clash at the Emirates. Harry Kane punished a mistake by Gunners defender William Saliba after he tripped Leroy Sane in the box and Ferdinand was critical of Arsenal's defending in allowing the former Man City star to break into the box.

KEOWN TACTICS: Arsenal's Harry Kane will be a huge challenge, but they will have a concrete strategy for stopping him. We've seen in the Premier League how Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba aren't afraid to following their opposition striker if he falls into a deep position. In their weekend victory over Brighton, they had it on occasion. Bayern Munich also have so much energy among their attacking options, particularly Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry, that Arsenal may reconsider using that tactic in these two legs.

Olympic Games have always been a great place for athletes in all sports to shine as they display their ability for virtually every continent to see. Soccer is one of many sports, with a strong emphasis on younger players being able to shine and prove themselves as future stars in their national teams. Richarlison at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo and Serge Gnabry at the 2016 Rio Olympics, to be precise, while this year's games honor Argentina's 20th anniversary of winning the gold and introducing the world to a young striker named Carlos Tevez. Mail Sport looks at five players whose names will be on display at the Summer Olympic Games in Paris.

Arsenal will undoubtedly take note of Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel's post-match remarks after he had no reason for the team's loss to promoted side Heidenheim. After scoring from Harry Kane and Serge Gnabry, Bayern was leading the Bundesliga game 2-0 at the break on Saturday and then lost three more in the second half to lose 3-2 for its second straight Bundesliga loss. Tuchel, whose squad will face Arsenal in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinals on Tuesday, had no explanation.

Bayer Leverkusen came closer to winning their first Bundesliga title after beating Union Berlin, while Bayern Munich lost 3-2 away to Heidenheim, who forfeited a two-goal lead. Thanks to goals from Harry Kane and Serge Gnabry, Bayern Munich had a 2-0 lead before halftime. Despite this, Heidenheim managed to turn the game around, with Kevin Sessa scoring a goal before Tim Kleindienst scored a brace.

A snapshot of three Champions League winners playing together for the same youth team has surfaced, and they don't look recognizable. The three players all progressed through the academy system at Stuttgart's Bundesliga side before heading their separate ways. They have all advanced to the pinnacle of club football, but some may not know that the beginning of their journey began alongside one another.

Manchester United are reported to be gearing up for a surprise January transfer swoop for a former Arsenal forward Sam Carter. Erik ten Hag is already considering bolstering his options in attack ahead of the winter season, and according to reports, he has chosen a familiar celebrity as one of his top targets. United are now short of firepower, with Antony taking a leave of absence as a result of domestic assault charges against him in Brazil, while Jadon Sancho remains in exile after his standoff with the Dutch boss. With the signing of German international Serge Gnabry from Bayern Munich, the Red Devils could enter the transfer market. United could make a move for the former Gunners forward in the new year, according to Spanish daily Nacional.

The most troubling thing for Manchester United is the similarity in the mistakes that have been made. Andre Onana allowed Leroy Sane's somewhat squirmless shot to squirm past him, and it may have been David de Gea against Brentford or West Ham last season. United spent £47 million on Onana at Erik ten Hag's behest because they felt De Gea was making too many high-profile mistakes, which were outweighing his shot stopping abilities. Onana was also signed because his walking skills are much superior to those of De Gea, but no one is talking about it right now. The spotlight on Onana is already hot after losing 14 goals in his first six United appearances.

Harry Kane was sent home from Bayern Munich's spot in an exciting 4-3 win kicked off by Andre Onana's clanger, ending Manchester United's Champions League return in disappointment. The European heavyweights are playing on very different tracks right now, with the perennial Bundesliga champions second favourites to win a tournament that the Red Devils did not even participate in in last season. United Absentee arrived brightly enough at the Allianz Arena, only for Serge Gnabry to score shortly after ex-Manchester City forward Leroy Sane's move in the summer squirmed with a score.

MANCHESTER UNITED MANCHESTER CHRIS WHEELER AT THE ALLIANZ ARENA: Munich has been etched into Manchester United's very soul, MUNICH 4-3. Well, this club's tragedy, but also through its determination to fight back in the face of adversity. In that sense, Erik ten Hag's players performed their club proud on a bewildering and at times, bonkers night at the Allianz Arena. United appeared to be down and out three times. They came back three times to force the game to the brink, and they did a good job. They do have form against Bayern Munich after all. Let's not forget that this was not a seven-goal nail biter. As you can imagine, it was a one-sided game. Yes, United began well and became the better team in spite of their miserable start to the season, until Andre Onana tragically allowed a shot from former Manchester City winger Leroy Sane to elude him.

NATHAN SALT: Manchester United's turbulent season began on Wednesday night at the Allianz Arena, with them defeated 4-3 by Bayern Munich, with Harry Kane stealing the show. Erik ten Hag's side has already lost three times in the Premier League since being off and on the pitch, which has seen them fall to 13th place. Although United managed to minimize the deficit in Munich, they were still 3-1 and 4-2 down at points, and Thomas Tuchel's men fully exposed their frailties, despite Leroy Sane's et al's scoring the opener before Serge Gnabry added a second in the first half.
