Braga coach Paciencia ignores Arsenal anti-football claims

Braga coach Domingos Paciencia shrugged off accusations of anti-football from Arsenal counterpart Arsene Wenger after last night's vital Champions League win.

Paciencia refused to be drawn on Wenger's blast.

"I don't want to comment, because it is just the personal opinion of the Arsenal manager," he said.

On the Carlos Vela's non-penalty, Paciencia said: "I have seen it on TV, but before there was an offside, so first should be offside, then no penalty would be allowed for Arsenal."

Braga, the Champions League debutants, are now level on points with Arsenal and could yet pull off a shock to reach the last 16.

Paciencia said: "It is very difficult, but we have to believe we can do it until the very end.

"It will be a tough game against Shakhtar, but we still feel it is possible."
