Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny is wary of former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov, who now plays for Monaco.
Arsene Wenger's men host Monaco in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 clash at the Emirates Stadium this evening, as they bid to move closer towards the quarter-finals.
Koscielny will be aiming to keep Monaco quiet, but well understands that Berbatov can change the game in an instant, such is his talent.
The French defender told his club's site: "After you have Berbatov up front and you know that with just one ball he can create something special.
"We need to be focused on this", Koscielny continued.

"We respect this team, but we need to play our game and that’s why we can win."

In Ligue 1 the principality outfit have conceded 19 goals in 25 games, the joint fewest with league leaders Lyon.
