What They're Saying
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger (via UEFA): "[Dortmund] are a quality team with quality players. They are very quick in transition, very quick going forward and defending together. Individually, many of their players are international players for Germany, especially, and some for Poland. They are a very strong side. I think they had many injuries at the start of the season."
Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp: "We have pressure too. Not maybe in this competition, but we have a big target. We want to go through in first position, but in Germany we have big pressure. In the last six games, we played four very good halves and two very bad halves. Those two bad halves were enough to lose us those games. Tonight, I cannot change the Bundesliga problem. Tonight is like a holiday for me. It is 'only' the Champions League. I have pressure though, of course I do. Everybody has pressure."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez has been instrumental to the club since joining from Barcelona. In four Champions League appearances, the 25-year-old has two goals and one assist.
