Mustafi hails “incredible” Ozil…

Shkodran Mustafi displayed once again why his friendship with Arsenal star Mesut Ozil is one to behold after the defender refused to go overboard in his praise for Ozil’s sensational winner against Ludogorets.

Ozil bamboozled three defenders before calmly slotting home an 87th-minute winner to send us through to the last-16 of the Champions League.

While the world awed at his technique and artistry, Mustafi joked that he wasn’t going to give Ozil too much praise which may heighten his ego.

“I don’t want to say too much because it’s going to get in his head, and then he’s going to think he’s the best again,” Mustafi humored to Arsenal Player.

“No, we know his qualities. He’s incredible.”

Mustafi has made no secret on previous occasions that he’s very hard on Ozil in order to push him to the next level and may be quietly taking credit for his compatriot’s sensational effort.
