M. Ozilas: "Arsenal" silenced critics

London's "Arsenal" defender Mesut Ozil says that the "Gunners" by defeating Munich's "Bayern" showed that they can compete with the strongest teams in Europe.

Previously, Arsene Wenger's proteges were criticized specifically for playing poorly against high-level opponents, and only achieving victories against less powerful rivals.

It is worth mentioning that a few weeks ago, "Arsenal" defeated the then English champions "Manchester United" with a score of 3-0.

Yesterday, the North London club triumphed at the "Emirates" stadium and kept alive hopes of advancing to the next stage of the UEFA Champions League thanks to goals from the German himself and Olivier Giroud.

"Now, in a very short time, we have shown our critics twice that we can not only fight but also beat the best teams," Ozil told SID.

However, the German admits that achieving a second victory against the dominant Bavarians in the Bundesliga will be even harder.

"I am just happy that 'Bayern' dropped three points. We will now travel to what is probably the best fortress of Europe," the defender added.
