Bayern Munich captain Philipp Lahm has admitted that he is wary of the threat that Mesut Ozil will pose when the European Champions travel to Arsenal in the Champions League this evening.

The Bundesliga champions visit the Emirates for the first leg of their last-16 tie, and the Bayern skipper has revealed that Ozil is a player who has given Pep Guardiola's side cause for concern.

He told Goal.com: "Many of the players at Bayern know exactly what Mesut is capable of - he has been one of the best central midfield players in the world for many years now.

"He sees passes and space that very few players in the world are able to see - he is a very intelligent player.

"Even when he is maybe not having the best of games or is not in the best form - you can't give him any space or time on the ball - because in a second he can find that pass and you are punished."

Meanwhile, Gunners boss Arsene Wenger believes that his side can upset Guardiola's men this evening.
