Lukas Podolski hails "dream" Champions League draw

Arsenal's Lukas Podolski calls their Champions League tie with Bayern Munich a "dream draw".

Arsenal striker Lukas Podolski has described their Champions League draw with Bayern Munich as a "dream".

The Gunners line up against the Bundesliga side in the last 16 of the tournament and the Germany international has said that the tie is something he will relish.

"It's a dream draw," he told Kicker.

"I'm looking forward to seeing [Uli] Hoeness, Jupp Heynckes and my colleagues from the national team. However, there's a small advantage that we're playing at home first.

"If you want to win the trophy, you have to take the opponents as they come."

The first leg of the tie will take place at the Emirates Stadium on February 19, before the return leg at the Allianz Arena on March 13.
