However, Ozil will always be judged by his numbers and there is no gainsaying that they are unimpressive against high-quality sides.
It is telling that he has accrued just two goals and one avail in 15 Champions League outings for Arsenal against elite European sides (Napoli, Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain) over the past four years.
Ozil could, thus, do with an astronomically immense game in Bavaria on Wednesday. He has featured in three last-16 ties since joining Arsenal, against Bayern, Monaco and Barcelona. Arsenal haven't won a single game - home or away - and Ozil hasn't contributed a single goal or avail.
Wenger said last week:-
"Ozil is an important player, a big player, and big players always respond on the pitch.” Essentially, Ozil has become a problem that he himself can answer at the Allianz Arena. Over to you, Mesut.
