Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger claims the Champions League is losing its gloss.
Wenger says he was 'privileged' to manage nearly 200 games in Europe's biggest competition and does miss seeing his side take part this season.
But Wenger feels the group stages are not exciting and the football mad manager only focuses on one or two matches.
Wenger said “Honestly yes (I miss being in it) but I must say I have nearly 200 games in the Champions League so I can feel privileged.
“Do I still follow it? I think that the group stage, there are not many interesting games so I choose one or two that are interesting.
“It's a routine now in the group stage. Look at the audiences, it has lost some attraction power."
