Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has questioned the competitiveness of the Champions League. Wenger feels the competition has become predictable.
He said: "For the rest, Champions League evolution, maybe it was more open 15 years ago than it is today. The concentration of the big players in a small number of clubs is much more than it was before.
"It's much more predictable, the outcome of the Champions League, than it was 10 years ago. It's harder to win it.
"If you make a poll tomorrow and say to people "Give me four clubs who will win the Champions League", 80 or 90 per cent of people will say they are these four clubs.
"I don't think that we are one of the four who will be favourites to win it, but football is strange and not always predictable."
