his side's 4-1 FA Cup win over Everton
will provide a mental boost ahead of the
trip to Bayern Munich.
Wenger's men cruised into the last four
of the Cup with a comfortable victory
against Roberto Martinez's team, as a
double from Olivier Giroud and goals
from Mesut Ozil and Mikel Arteta
secured progress.
The London club travel to the Allianz
Arena on Tuesday for the second leg of
their UEFA Champions League last 16-
tie with a 2-0 deficit from the first leg.
Arsenal face a difficult challenge to
progress to the quarter-finals, although
they did earn a 2-0 second leg success at
holders Bayern at the same stage last
season, only to suffer elimination on the
away goals rule.
And Wenger believes can take
confidence into the midweek clash
following Saturday's performance.
"It was important of course for us to win
today to put us on a psychological front
in a good mind and we can be inspired
by our focus, by our desire and go to
Bayern with the same spirit," the
Frenchman said on Soccerway.com.
"The statistics go against us at Bayern
but let's make sure the performance
goes for us, then we have a chance."
Arsenal have beaten Tottenham,
Liverpool and Everton on their way to
the semi-finals of the FA Cup, wins that
Wenger insists reflect their appetite for
winning the trophy.
"We have had a good draw in the fact
that every game has been it at home
but we played," Wenger added. "On the
other hand, some difficult opponents –
Tottenham, Liverpool, Everton.
"That shows you we have taken this
competition seriously."
