Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has admitted that he made a mistake in allowing Mesut Ozil to leave the club to join Arsenal.
The German international, who moved to the Gunners in the summer for £42.5m, has scored four goals and picked up eight assists in his six months at the Emirates Stadium.
"I think we made a mistake when we gave him the possibility to leave the club," Gulf News quotes Ancelotti as saying. "However, we have fantastic strikers and don't need a back-up after [Gonzalo] Higuain's departure."
The 25-year-old is expected to start for Arsenal tomorrow night at Villa Park, with his side looking to reclaim top spot.
