This season, Muñoz has so far played only for the U16 team, helping Arsenal clinch the U16 Premier League title with a final win over Aston Villa. Making his debut alongside him was Emerson Nwaneri—the younger brother of first-team player Ethan Nwaneri.

The win over Bayern was Arsenal Academy’s first victory in this season’s Youth League, lifting the Gunners off the bottom of the group and up to 30th place overall.

Reminder: Bayern striker Harry Kane commented on the upcoming Champions League clash with Arsenal, calling it the toughest match of the season.
