Guardiola: This is what went wrong at Arsenal

Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich were drawn in the same Champions League group as Arsenal

PEP GUARDIOLA says Arsenal lost to an "organised" Dinamo Zagreb in their Champions League opener.

 

The Gunners went down 2-1 in Croatia as Olivier Giroud was sent off late in the first half.

They face Olympiacos at the Emirates tonight (7.45pm), while Zagreb travel to Guardiola's Bayern Munich.

 

And the former Barcelona head coach said his side must be wary of avoiding the same upset that Arsenal suffered.

"The most important thing now is Dinamo Zagreb," Guardiola said.

 

"You'd normally think Arsenal would win in Zagreb, but then you watch the game and you see straight away why Dinamo won.

"They are very organised, very aggressive. They have very technical players and we need to approach the game with great seriousness."

 

Arsenal lost 2-1 in Zagreb in their opening Champions League clash

Bayern are on a nine-game winning streak heading into this clash but face a Zagreb side unbeaten in 45 outings.

A win for Bayern would see them go three points clear in Group F and Guardiola expressed the need to get the result ahead of back-to-back games with Arsenal.

 

"(Dinamo) played well in defence, with their players showing discipline by maintaining their shape," he added.

"Forty-five games without losing… this must be a really strong squad - it won't be easy.

"It's a great opportunity to bring us into a good position for the game against Arsenal. You have to win your home games to get ahead."
