| Mesut Ozil has been in fine form for Arsenal this term |
PHILIPP LAHM has launched a staunch defence of Arsenal star Mesut Ozil.
Bayern will be looking to avenge their 2-0 defeat against the Gunners a fortnight ago when they face them again in the Champions League this evening (7:45pm).
Ozil will return to the scene of a painful defeat against Bayern in March 2014 when his career reached its low ebb.
The German midfield schemer has produced his best form since his £42.5million switch to the Emirates in 2013.
And Lahm can’t understand why Ozil got so much criticism when he first joined.
“It was laughable when he was being questioned after his move to Arsenal,” Lahm said as quoted by the Daily Mirror.
"It doesn’t matter how good you are, everybody needs time to settle in a new league. Especially a league like England, where you don’t get as much time on the ball, and of course the game is a lot more physical.

| Philipp Lahm thinks Mesut Ozil is the brains behind Arsenal |
“People don’t necessarily understand his game, he isn’t there to run at players or even beat them, he is far more intelligent than that.
“He finds space and creates chances for his team mates, and you only need to look at the assist table to understand there is nobody better than him at that.”
