​Wenger admits he'd be happy with a point against Bayern

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has admitted that he would be satisfied with a draw when his side travel to face Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Arsenal are third in their Champions League group having lost their opening two fixtures, but after an impressive 2-0 win over the Germans two weeks ago Wenger feels that a draw at the Allianz Arena would help his side move towards qualification.

Speaking to the Standard Wenger said: "I would sign today to take a point but to sit off Bayern. But with their offensive quality, that would be difficult to maintain for 90 minutes."

"We have to relieve the pressure whenever we can and try to score goals. That is the structure of our team, to attack. If we set out our players only to defend then I don't think we'll be so efficient. We have to play every time we can."
