Arsenal boss Wenger not taking Braga lightly

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is wary of Champions League opponents Braga.

Wenger is not expecting an easy ride against Braga - who became known as 'Arsenal do Minho' after they changed kits to the Gunners' red following a visit to Highbury by their coach during the 1920s.

"They have a strong Brazilian influence in their team, are physically strong and are well organised," said Wenger.

"Braga is a team which plays with a very quick transition from defence to attack.

"What impresses me is that they finished in front of Porto and also in the qualifying round they knocked Sevilla out - that helps us to be on our toes."
