Petr Cech: 'Olympiacos is a grand finale'

Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech has stated that the Gunners face a "grand finale" in their last Champions League group stage match against Olympiacos in a fortnight.

Arsene Wenger's side kept themselves in the competition as they beat Dinamo Zagreb 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday evening thanks to a brace from Alexis Sanchez and a Mesut Ozil header.

Bayern Munich's win over Olympiacos means that Arsenal now have to beat the Greek side by two goals or more to secure qualification for the knockout rounds.

"We did our bit, they did their bit and it is now a grand finale for us in the last game," Cech told ESPN. "We are going into a playoff situation and we know what we need to get, so hopefully we will be ready for that.

"If we create chances, play our game and put Olympiacos under pressure, we have a chance to score our goals in the game and make the difference we need. So we can go in a confident mood because a few rounds ago we were almost out of the competition.

"Now we have everything in our hands to progress. We need to make sure we go there and get the result and get in the draw for the last 16."

Arsenal take on Olympiacos on December 9.
