However, teammate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang exposed Ozil calling him a ‘liar’ in the comments.

Sead Kolasinac was also part of the winning team and can be seen showing off his guns. Ozil was impressed with his biceps back in Dubai last week.

Ozil is match fit heading into the Newcastle clash and likely to feature.

The game has taken on more importance following Manchester City’s suspension from the Champions League next season.

A 5th placed finish could result in qualification for the elite European football competition.
