Arsenal star Mesut Ozil fires warning to Bayern Munich ahead of Champions League showdown

Fighting talk: Mesut Ozil celebrates against Manchester United

Mesut Ozil insists Arsenal "are not afraid" of Bayern Munich ahead of their Champions League showdown later this month.

The Gunners have got off to a disastrous start in Europe after back-to-back defeats to Dinamo Zagreb and Olympiakos.

Arsene Wenger's side face the German champions at the Emirates after the international break, and Ozil claims the north Londoners can cause an upset.

He said: “It is true that there is a lot of pressure on us in the Champions League. We can beat Bayern, though, if we play at the same level as against Manchester United.
