Arturo Vidal has issued a warning to Arsenal as Bayern Munich prepare to host them in the Champions League on Wednesday.
The Bavarian side suffered a 2-0 defeat at the Emirates Stadium on matchday three, with Arsene Wenger's men recovering from losses to Dinamo Zagreb and Olympiacos to keep their qualification hopes alive.
However, the Chilean midfielder insists that Bayern will not be so generous to their opponents at Allianz Arena, and says a die Roten victory is the only outcome they are targeting.
"We'll show Arsenal the real Bayern on Wednesday," Vidal told Bild am Sonntag.
"Our confidence is high. This time we'll take our chances and take the three points."
Arsenal enter the tie in excellent form however, having climbed to the top of the Premier League after going unbeaten there since October and won five of their last six matches in all competitions.
A victory for the Gunners would see them draw level with Bayern – who were held to a 0-0 draw by Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on Friday – on six points with two Group F games remaining
I think Arsenal are a great value bet at 11/4, even if you backed them at +1 in the handicap. They've got good momentum, they're playing well, Alexis Sanchez is in form, Mesut Ozil is in form, Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud getting goals is another plus.
Bayern have won every game in the Bundesliga, averaging three goals a game, we know that, but anyone that watches them, which I do quite a bit, will know that you can get at them. They've chopped and changed quite a bit at the back and they had David Alaba, who is a left-back, playing at centre-back at the weekend and Manuel Neuer makes their defence look better than they are.
Bayern will want to play an open game of football and look to Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller to pick them off, but that will suit Arsenal with the way they are playing right now, especially with Theo Walcott's pace and movement.
It's a must-win situation for Arsenal, I don't think a draw is good enough, but I do believe they can get the three points.
As you probably know, one of the big new features of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus is called 3D Touch. This pairs a pressure-sensitive touchscreen with software that can take advantage of how hard you press down on it. Hence, among other things, a quick actions menu can show up when you press hard on the icon of an app (as seen in the image below)
.
3D Touch has left most of Apple's competitors behind, but at least one of them is reportedly thinking of using it in its next flagship. And yes, it's Samsung.
According to a rumor out of China, the Korean company is one of the "core partners" for Synaptics' new ClearForce technology, which is basically going to offer 3D Touch to non-Apple device makers. Obviously this partnership between Samsung and Synaptics should result in the ClearForce tech being used on the Galaxy S7 that will be out next year.
While it will put in the pressure-sensitive hardware, it's still unclear how Samsung plans on developing the software aspect of the feature, but if this is true then those details are probably going to be outed soon.
The former Borussia Dortmund man has been struggling to find his feet under Pep Guardiola and the close-season arrival of Douglas Costa is set to further threaten his chances of starting regularly. Gotze featured for the final 25 minutes of Friday's opening-day Bundesliga victory against Hamburg before playing much of Monday's friendly win at Dynamo Dresden.
Sammer has now sought to quell speculation of Gotze leaving Bayern amid ongoing reports of interest from Juventus and Arsenal.
"Let's just all agree on one thing and that is that we just let Mario play football," Sammer told Bild.
"He enjoys our complete confidence, but now leave the boy in peace. It will be better if we do not talk about it constantly.
"If you want to win something big, you need just these players. Dealing with them is even more important than with those who play."
Gotze's relationship with Guardiola has been the subject of scrutiny in recent weeks, with the midfielder having suggested the Bayern boss does not talk to him enough.
The 23-year-old later backtracked on his comments, insisting he was "happy" and "comfortable" at the

The Chile international, who moved to the Allianz Arena from Juventus in a €40 million deal, was a beaten finalist in last season's competition as the Italian champions lost 3-1 to Barcelona.
And, having been backed in his decision by national team coach Jorge Sampaoli, Vidal admits the chance to get his hands on the famous trophy was the main motivation behind his transfer.
"[Sampaoli] immediately said it was a great option for me," he said to Sport Bild. "Especially in terms of my desire to finally win the Champions League. Every player wants to hold the Champions League trophy in their hands at some point.

"So the decision to move to Bayern was easy."
Vidal added that the chance to work under Pep Guardiola was also a key factor behind his decision, especially as he believes Sampaoli's Chile system owes much to the former midfielder's own tactics.
"We were both of the opinion that Pep is one of the best coaches in the world. Our game with Chile contains a lot of Guardiola elements," he said.
The former Bayer Leverkusen enforcer went on to claim his fiery approach to the game is far removed from the more placid persona he shows off the pitch. "I play football with a lot of passion and put my whole heart into the team. That's what I hope to do well for Bayern," the 28-year-old added.
"The private Arturo is quite sensitive. At home, I'm a quiet guy. On the pitch, I have a different personality. I feel the adrenaline rising and the urge to win."

The 19-year-old impressed with a number of fine displays in his maiden campaign with Juventus after joining the Serie A champions from Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern are keeping a close eye on his situation in Turin. Coman has a contract with Juventus until 2019 and Bayern could face a tough task to lure him away from his current club, yet Vidal feels it would be worth the effort.
"Kingsley is not only a young player, but is also incredibly fast and has a lot of quality," Vidal was quoted as saying by Sport Bild.
"He has a bright future ahead of him. He would be a fine signing for Bayern if he were to follow me to Munich."
Vidal has been compared to former Bayern star Lothar Matthaus because of his style of play and he feels honoured to be likened to the ex-Germany midfielder.
"I read about the comparisons with Matthaus. I agree that we are similar type of players.
"It's a huge compliment when someone like Lothar himself makes such a comparison. He has a big reputation in football. I hope that I can live up to the expectations."
