The good news for FC Bayern? There is still plenty of football to play, and the squad has more than enough firepower to climb the standings. Harry Kane continues to deliver, and the draw against Arsenal showed that Bayern Munich can compete with elite opposition.

The bad news? Dropped points are dropped points, regardless of how entertaining the match might be. The Bavarians will need to turn performances into victories if a direct route to the round of 16 is the objective.

Next up is a trip to Atlético Madrid on November 3rd. FC Bayern need to make that one count.
