The pressure on Arsenal as favourites for their Champions League last-16 tie with Monaco is welcome, says Gunners boss Arsene Wenger.
.
The North London side have exited the competition
at this stage in each of the last four seasons.
.
“The French might give us the status of favourites. It
doesn’t bother me,” said Wenger before
Wednesday’s first leg at Emirates Stadium.
.
“There’s a lot at stake but these are the games you
want to play.”
.
The Ligue 1 side gave Wenger his big break in
management in the late 1980s but the Arsenal boss
was not in sentimental mood in his pre-match press
conference.
