The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 international feels that the Bavarian giants can qualify for the next round, while Karl-Heinz Rummenigge also believes that his side can defeat the English Premier League club
Bayern Munich captain http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Philipp-Lahm-c29929 is positive about his side’s chances of reaching the next stage of the UEFA Champions League in place of English outfit Arsenal FC. The veteran defender insisted that the Bavarian side have the
potential to see off the challenge of their quarter-final opposition in February.
Der FCB have progressed to the final of European club football’s premier competition twice in the last three seasons, and the full-back is looking forward to get a good result against the Gunners. He admitted that they have been
handed a relatively easier draw.
However, the versatile player stressed that they can reach the quarter-final of the tournament and will utilise the quality in the side to full effect. He stated that he has never come across the Premier League team and neither
has he played at the Emirates Stadium.
Therefore, it will be a nice experience for him. He guaranteed that it will be a good environment for the supporters and the players in both legs of the knockout clash.
"It's a nice draw. We definitely have a chance to qualify for the next round. We will make it if we make good use of our immense quality," Lahm was quoted as saying in an interview.
"Arsenal are a team I have never faced before and I have never played in their stadium before either. The fans and players can all look forward to two games in a great atmosphere,” he mused.
"I'm also looking forward to meeting [http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lukas-Podolski-c22896] Poldi and Per [Mertesacker] again. It's always special to take on your colleagues from the national team," he finally concluded.
Lahm further added that he is also excited to take on international team-mates’ Lukas Podolski and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Per-Mertesacker-c29680, when the two sides will meet in February. The Germany national team skipper revealed that it will be good to play
against similar faces from Die Mannschaft squad. Die Roten last played http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 in 2005.
