Arteta: Borussia Dortmund no better than Arsenal

Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta insists they have nothing to fear from Champions League opponents Borussia Dortmund.

Last season's beaten Champions League finalists threw Group F wide open with a 2-1 victory in north London just under a fortnight ago, a result that left Dortmund, Arsenal and Napoli all on six points after three games.

"No [they weren't the better team], we conceded a goal when we were on top in the game, and were likely to score a second to kill the game," said Arteta to arsenal.com.

"We know in the Champions League against those teams you are limited to small chances, and it was our fault [that we lost].

"It is a massive game again [in Dortmund on Wednesday]. We knew this week was going to be very tough, so beating Liverpool is a good way to start it. Dortmund will be a very different game, with the way they play, so we will have to get ready for it."
