Ozil Can't Take A Penalty

 Missed opportunity: However Ozil's spot-kick was well saved by Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer
Mesut Ozil missed his third penalty in a row at club level during Arsenal's Champions League clash against Bayern Munich on Wednesday night.

The Germany international stepped up after being upended by Jerome Boateng in the area but saw his spot-kick saved by Manuel Neuer in the Bavarians' net.

The midfielder, who signed for Arsenal in a £42.5million deal from Real Madrid last summer, hasn't been hugely successful from 12 yards out in the past.

Focused: Mesut Ozil steps up to take a penalty having been fouled by Munich's Jerome Boateng in the area
Dejected: Ozil has now missed the last three penalties he has taken at club level - the first coming for Bremen 

The latest miss comes after he failed to score from the spot against Marseille for Arsene Wenger's side earlier this season and, having never taken a penalty during his three years at the Bernabeu, Ozil's other blunder came as he failed to score for Werder Bremen against Borussia Monchengladbach in 200
