The former Barcelona man maintained that the 2-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium would not influence the sides' next clash, but warned over the Gunners' attacking prowess

Thiago Alcantara insists there is no pressure on Bayern Munich ahead of Wednesday's Champions League encounter with Arsenal.

The Bavarian side lost 2-0 to Arsene Wenger's men on matchday three, leaving just three points separating the pair in Group F.

Despite that, the former Barcelona midfielder believes that the onus to get a positive result is on Arsenal - whom he considers one of the best clubs on the continent.

"We have no particular pressure on us tomorrow," Thiago said.

"The important thing is that we realise how Arsenal play, then we can be aware of it.

"Both teams have to score goals, so Arsenal will not be so defensive like the others. They want to play like us.

"We know that we are playing against one of the best teams in Europe, but we have the chance to bring back the three points."
