Bayern Munich drew Arsenal in the Champions League group stage draw today in Monaco.

The captain of the Bundesliga champions admitted that he is looking forward to taking on his Germany national teammate Mesut Özil and Per Mertesacker.

Lahm was quoted by the BBC as saying: “It’s great that we are meeting two old friends, Per Mertesacker and Mesut Ozil, when we play Arsenal.”
