Roma defender John Arne Riise has singled out Nicklas Bendtner as a potential matchwinner for Arsenal in their Champions League clash.

The former Liverpool favourite said: "This is a fantastic place to play, a fantastic stadium and so we have to enjoy it.

"We should not be scared or think it is against us. We must enjoy it and I think the players are looking forward to it.

"People say they (Arsenal) have had a bad time but I've seen a few games and they play fantastic football, they have great technical players.

"They defend very well and they have a physical side up front with (Nicklas) Bendtner who is very good in the air and uses his muscle and they also have small, quick players on the wing.

"They are a fantastic team and it will be a difficult game. These are two teams that like to play football and if we do that it will be a good game."
