Arsene Wenger insists his Arsenal side can achieve the impossible and beat Bayern Munich to continue their run in the Champions League.
The Frenchman was speaking ahead of his side’s last-16 second-leg meeting with the European champions, where the Gunners will have to overturn a two-goal deficit after losing the home tie.
With the Premier League outfit facing a team who are rampant at the top of the ultra-competitive Bundesliga table, Arsenal are given little chance of claiming a result at the Allianz Arena.
But Wenger insists last season’s win in Munich, when a remarkable performance saw the Gunners clinch a 2-0 win against Bayern only to exit the competition on away goals, gives them a much-needed confidence boost ahead of the crunch tie.
"History is important in your belief. We have done it before, so we know we can do it because we have done it," said Wenger.
"It is a possible task, but that is the most important for us.
"I believe my team has quality and ambition, and I believe do we produce a top level performance, then we can do it."Our way to do it is to produce a top level performance and we will focus on that.
"We must turn up with quality and with belief and that is what we will do.
"Bayern at the moment are the team of course who are full of confidence because they are doing well, but we have a great opportunity to do it.
"I am absolutely confident that mentally we will be ready to play at our best.
"The statistics are against us, but we have also won 5-1 at Inter Milan, we have won everywhere in Europe.
"If we are winning 1-0 for example, then it makes the [final] result absolutely possible, so that is what we try to do.
"We do not have to be nervous and impatient, just to focus on the performance of our game."
