Arsenal doesn't need to fear Germans, says Podolski

Arsenal forward Lukas Podolski insists the Gunners will have no reason to fear his former club, Bayern Munich, when they clash in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Arsene Wenger's team was paired with Bundesliga leader Bayern in Thursday's draw, with the first leg at the Emirates Stadium on Feb 19 and the return at the Allianz Arena in March.

That means a return to Munich for German international Podolski, who spent three seasons at Bayern from 2006.
