Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has insisted that his side are not daunted by away trips in the Champions League.
The Gunners have lost both of their matches on the road in this season's competition to Dinamo Zagreb and Bayern Munich, which leaves them in danger of not progressing from their group.
Arsenal's form has been reminiscent of when they first entered the tournament in the 1998-99 season, when they exited at the group stage, but Wenger has said that he has removed the fear that previous sides might have had.
"The Champions League was a new competition for us when we first started playing in it. We were in a position where the players made too much of it. The unknown can create a little bit of fear or apprehension," Wenger told Arsenal's official website.
"Slowly we got rid of that. Since then we have created a positive history. We have won at Real Madrid, we have won at Bayern, we have won in Milan, that shows we shouldn't be scared. "We have won everywhere in Europe. So let's just go out now and play our game.
"It's a psychological issue, of course, and you can get rid of these issues by creating history and the number of games you play away from home."
Arsenal resume their Champions League campaign at home to Dinamo Zagreb on November 24.
