Arsenal were paired with the German league leaders after finishing second in a group which included Schalke.

"They played in the final in 2010 and last year", he told Arsenal's website.

"It’s a big club but we have the chance to win against Bayern Munich. They have a very good team with big players.

"They have [Mario] Gomez up front, they have [Franck] Ribery, [Bastian] Schweinsteiger, Philipp Lahm, Manuel Neuer. There are two matches, one at home [and] one away. Both teams have the chance to win."
