PARIS: Bayern Munich overturned a two-goal deficit to stun holders Arsenal 3-2 in the Women’s Champions League on Wednesday. Emily Fox’s early header and Mariona Caldentey’s 23rd-minute shot from the edge of the box appeared to have put Arsenal in total control in Munich. But Bayern dug deep in the second half to execute an astonishing turnaround. Alara began the fightback in the 67th minute, with substitute Pernille Harder’s superb strike drawing the Germans level, before Glodis Viggosdottir snatched the winner, prodding home Klara Buehl’s low cross with four minutes left. “To be honest, this is a winning team with a winning mentality,” Bayern coach Jose Barcala told Disney+. “We always believe we can win the game even when we are 2-0 down.
