The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Croatia-c2879 international has insisted that the Bavarian giants cannot be complacent against the English Premier League team, and was really happy to score in the first clash
Bayern Munich star striker Mario Mandzukic has expressed that the UEFA Champions League first round game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 FC is still in the balance as he feels anything can happen in the second leg at the Allianz Arena. The German
club won 3-1 against the English side at the Emirates Stadium.
The prolific goalscorer is hoping that the league leaders will qualify for the next round if they put in a good performance again. Nevertheless, he has issued a warning to his colleagues that the Gunners can pose a threat if they
net an away goal at the start of the match.
The forward claimed that Bayern are already considered to be through to the quarter-finals, but that is not the case. He stated that they need to continue their form like they did in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749. Moreover, he said they cannot afford
an early goal as Arsenal are a tough team to beat.
"A lot of people think we’re already through to the next round, but anything can happen in football," the Croatia international was quoted as saying in an interview.
"Provided we play the way we did in London we need have no worries. Nevertheless, if we concede an early goal, it could be dangerous," he added.
The 26-year-old also voiced his pleasure with his away goal against the North London club.
"I'm obviously delighted about the goal, partly because it was an odd one. The press were saying I lacked a goal in the Champions League, but I never let it get to me. The only thing that ever matters to me is winning," he mused.
Mandzukic further admitted that his goal was very weird in the way it was scored. The media suggested that he could not get a goal in the premier cup competition, but he was not under any pressure. He said that he is only committed
to bring success to Die Roten. He has scored 18 goals in all competitions.
