"Team spirit is at its peak, the players are playing for one another; I think the team have all the necessary qualities to win it," midfielder Mathieu Flamini tells UEFA.com as he gears up for Arsenal FC's UEFA Champions League round of 16 encounter with FC Bayern München.

Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer underlines that the European champions are no pushovers, though. "I guess they [Arsenal] know they will face a strong competitor," he reminds UEFA.com. "We hope we can keep up the momentum and the performances that we showed especially last season in the Champions League knockout stage. We were always in top form in those ties last season."
