Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger denies modeling his game on Barcelona's style of play.
Wenger admires the way the Spanish champions play, he says any suggestion of copying is nonsense.
"We have tried to get closer to them but we never copied anybody, we always tried to play our football," the manager told arsenal.com.
"Because Barcelona [have] won with their style, it's the unique comparison we get. But really that doesn't bother me too much, what bothers me is that my team continues to become stronger in every single game.
"I respect a lot Barcelona and I still think they are the best team in the world."
