http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 to beat Borussia Dortmund – UEFA Champions League Update
Arsenal defender and Germen international, Per Mertesacker has gone on to urge the Gunners to pick up all three points against Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League.
The defender believes that nothing less than three points will do for the Gunners and with the team playing at home, it should be much easier to pick up all three points from the game.
The last time the two teams met, Arsenal and Dortmund went on to draw their game, following a one all draw and this didn’t sit too well with Mertesacker, who feels that the Gunners should have beaten Dortmund.
When talking about the upcoming game, the German international is quoted to have said: "It is important for us to win against Borussia Dortmund. We really want to show what we're capable of at home and want to secure first spot in the table"
"The level is very high in the Champions League and Dortmund have a great team. We have a lot of respect for them.”
However, the defender is well aware of the fact that both Arsenal and Dortmund need to pick up all three points from the game and hence the encounter between the two teams is going to be an intense one.
The defender ended by adding: "Dortmund desperately need to win, so it will be a very intense game."
At the moment, the Gunners are in poll position in Group F, after having picked up eight points from the four games that they have played so far. However, with Marseille sitting on seven points, Dortmund on four and Olympiakos on three points, the group
is still wide open and just about anyone could make it through at this point.
Over the last couple of weeks, Arsenal have gone on to prove their worth, as they look to have established a win streak for themselves. The team is currently getting the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 done every time they step onto the pitch and should they continue to perform in
the same manner, it would be safe to say, that the team are going through to the knock out stages of the tournament.
