Die Roten hold a 3-1 lead going into the return leg of their Champions League with the Gunners, but the 23-year-old says complacency will not be an issue

Bayern Munich forward Thomas Muller is aware that his side could encounter problems should they approach their Champions League tie with Arsenal with the wrong attitude.

The first-leg fixture at the Emirates Stadium in February resulted in a 3-1 success for Jupp Heynckes' men, and the Germany international is certain focus will be key going into the second leg on Wednesday.

"I don't have any worries that we might take the match too lightly," the 23-year-old told reporters at the pre-match press conference.

"We will step on the gas. Even if something will go wrong in the match, we should be able to pick ourselves up."

Meanwhile, Dante says he will have no problems with motivation against the Gunners, and said he would rather avoid Real Madrid should his side reach the quarter-final.

"Before big matches like the one against Arsenal, I'm usually calm, because motivation come on its own," the Brazilian told Kicker.

"Madrid are currently in good form. However, we're at Bayern, we don't talk about which opponents we would prefer."
