"I lost a bet - or we lost a bet against Laca (Alexandre Lacazette). "(It was a) crossing challenge. You know where you have to hit the crossbar? Me, Sead (Kolasinac) and Shkodran Mustafi.
"So we lost all together - that's life!"
Teammate Aubameyang joked that the German looks like USA national women's team star Megan Rapinoe, who starred in the recently-concluded Women World Cup.
Ozil's future at the club is still unclear, having fallen out of favour with manager Unai Emery. He Arsenal's highest earner and the wages might prove a stumbling block for any deal.
