Wenger confident of Champions League progress
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is confident his side can make the Champions League last 16 after setting up a must-win final group game against Olympiakos.
The Gunners’ 3-0 win over Dinamo Zagreb at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday, coupled with Bayern Munich’s 4-0 thrashing of Olympiakos, means a 2-0 victory or any win by scoring three goals will send Arsenal through to the knockout phase.
Wenger said: “We had to come out of this game with a chance and we have done that – now let’s make right what we didn’t do right until now.”
