Wenger: Arsenal must keep concentration at AC Milan
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says their Champions League clash at AC Milan is all about maintaining concentration.
Wenger and his squad have flown out to Italy to face AC Milan in the first leg of their last-16 tie and the Frenchman knows that Wednesday night’s game will be a mental battle, as well as a physical one.
“It is more stimulating and more stressful because it is a cup game now,” Wenger told arsenal.com. “We move from championship to cup and therefore of course every goal is important.
“That is why the focus for absolutely 90 minutes becomes vital. That is where the experience plays a part because you can have a little bit of a breather and then you have to be completely switched on again - in these kinds of games it is vital.
“It is a different competition now but we have the experience of it and we were very close to knocking Barcelona out last year. I believe we have learned from that and it is a good opportunity to show that.”
