Mesut Ozil has revealed his highlights of the 2014/15 season.
The World Cup winner has impressed since returning from a knee injury in January, scoring four times in 2015 and captaining Germany for the first time.
One stand-out memory for Ozil was his free-kick in the 4-0 victory over Liverpool at the start of April.
“Because I’m left footed, I tend to take the free kicks from the right side,” he explained to the Arsenal Magazine. “On the other side, Santi and Alexis decide between themselves.
“The goal against Liverpool was really nice and I was delighted to score it. What made it even better was our overall performance on that day.
“We played some beautiful football against Liverpool – they didn’t have a chance to beat us on the day. For us it was a great game.
“Of course I remember my comeback [as well], where the fans supported me so well.
“There have been matches where we have been outstanding as a team and I’ve contributed to that by playing well. That pleases you as a player, but the main thing is that we continue to be successful as a team.
“I’ve been here for two years now and we’ve reached the final of the FA Cup again. We have another chance to win a trophy and that’s something I’m really proud of.
“We’re near the top of the Premier League too and, along with reaching the FA Cup final, that is something we are pleased about.”
