The German spent three seasons at the Bernabeu prior to his £42.5m switch to Arsenal in 2013.
He won La Liga, Copa del Rey and Supercopa de Espana titles during his time in the Spanish capital and it’s clear he has fond memories of his time there.
His former side come up against Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals next month and Ozil is eagerly anticipating the clash of two heavyweights.
"It's not a secret. My heart beats for Real Madrid,” Ozil told German publication Bild.
“I played Real Madrid and until today I still have a lot of friends in the first team and in the club.
“For these reasons, I will cross my fingers for Real Madrid during the match against Bayern Munich.”
But the 28-year-old has warned Real to expect a tough game having experienced it first hand when Arsenal suffered a 10-2 aggregate defeat to the Bundesliga champions in the previous round.
"The power of Bayern Munich? We (Arsenal) experienced it,” he added.
“When they loosen up, they are difficult to stop, it is the same for Real Madrid. It will be difficult, but I cannot wait to see this game."
