Per Mertesacker says that Arsenal can handle the pressure of needing a result against Olympiacos in order to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League.

Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker has insisted that he and his teammates can handle the pressure of getting the desired result against Olympiacos in their final Champions League group match.

Arsene Wenger's side, who are currently third in Group F, need to win by two goals in Greece in order to reach the last 16 of the competition.

"It is a nightmare how we played the first two games but we have to face the truth and that is that we have to score more than one goal against Olympiacos," Wenger told the club's official website.

"It's possible [to qualify] and they have more to lose. We are in a more difficult situation. It will be pressure for both teams and hopefully we can handle that better.

"We believe that we can score goals. You saw tonight that we are always capable of doing that. Let's go there without fear, respect our opponent but keep patient until the end."

Arsenal are three points behind second-placed Olympiacos and six adrift of leaders Bayern Munich.
