Video: Wenger reflects on Champions League progression

Arsenal beat Fenerbahce 2-0 on Tuesday (27th August) for an aggregate win of 5-0 to book their place in the Champions League group stages.

Arsene Wenger, Arsenal coach:(Q: Were you happy with the game today?“We completed the job. We had some problems getting into the pace of the game but for all of especially the second half, we controlled the game and it was a professional job. It was not maybe a very exciting game but we did what we had to do and overall we scored five goals and didn’t concede so we are in the group stages. That’s what we wanted.”

Arsene Wenger, Arsenal coach:(Q: How pleased are you with Arsenal’s impressive record in Europe?)“I believe that at the top level the most difficult thing is to be consistent and of course, it’s an achievement because if you look at the clubs in Europe who have done it, only three clubs have done it in the whole of Europe. I hear a lot that it’s not enough and I agree with that but still it shows that we have been remarkably consistent. But our ambition is much higher than that and I take that on board from everybody.”
