Football: Arsenal would be better off in Europa League, says Wenger
Arsene Wenger has claimed Arsenal would have had more chance of European success if they had dropped into the Europa League.
The Gunners were dumped out of the Champions League on Tuesday by Monaco, losing on award goals after a 3-3 aggregate draw, Metro reports.
Wenger’s side finished second to Borussia Dortmund in the group stages last year, but left to reflect on yet another agonising European exit, the Frenchman claimed that his charges would have been better off fighting it out for the Europa League.
He told L’Equipe: "Perhaps it would be better not to go out like this and make the Europa League."
"We would be more likely to win that."
