The two clubs met for their last-16 first-leg tie at the Emirates on Tuesday, with the Bavarians securing an important away victory following a clinical display.

And the French international pondered the relative ease with which the German side disposed of their English counterparts, admitting the game had been 'easy'.

"We didn't think it would be so easy," he said. "We know Arsenal are having some problems in the league, maybe they are lacking confidence.

"Each to their own problems. But we feel good, we feel confident and we're delighted to have got that result."

The former Marseille man also praised his team's efforts in London, citing their team-play as the backbone of their impressive return to football following the German festive break.

"We're all working hard together, with the will to play well, to win together, to defend together. It's important to carry on like this.," he added.
