A recovered Mesut Ozil can help us shock Bayern Munich, says Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has backed record signing Mesut Ozil to help his team stun Bayern Munich in Germany tomorrow night.
The Gunners travel to the European champions looking to overturn a 2-0 deficit from the first-leg at the Emirates, when Ozil missed an early penalty.
It is a daunting task and most observers give Wengers men no chance of shocking Pep Guardiolas bang in-form Bayern team.
However, Wenger is not giving up hope and is expecting a big performance from his key man Ozil after watching the German playmaker recover from his slump in form with a match-winning performance against Everton in the FA Cup on Saturday.
Wenger said: I believe he was affected by his performance (in the first leg).
He started quite well in the first game and after that he was affected by the fact that he missed the penalty.
It affected his performance because he felt he let the team down. I think since, he has recovered.
He had a great performance on Saturday, is on the right path and I am confident he will have a good game.
