This is average-position influence: time-weighted touch windows across the full 90, split at every substitution, mapped onto a 105×68 grid. Not tracking data — modelled influence. And the output is stark. 🟡 Arsenal control — 24% 🔴 Bayern control — 12% ⚪ Contested — 63% Arsenal owned double the uncontested territory Bayern did. Away from home. Against a side built to suffocate visitors inside twenty minutes. But the number that actually matters is the 63%. Two-thirds of the pitch belonged to nobody — because Arsenal refused to let it belong to Bayern. There is no retreat line here, no low block waiting to be worn down, no third of the pitch quietly surrendered to buy safety. Arteta’s side contested space in every zone, and the map shows it: Arsenal’s yellow doesn’t sit politely around its own box. It bleeds through midfield and keeps going. That’s the shift. For years the away game at a Bayern or a Madrid meant conceding ground and hoping. This Arsenal doesn’t trade territory for survival. They turn the whole pitch into a contest and back themselves to win enough of it. A 2–2 in Munich reads like a tough night. The territorial picture reads like a team that walked in and took the ground off the hosts. Arteta deserves the credit for that.
