Wenger: Plenty of similarities between Arsenal and AC Milan

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists the contrasts between themselves and Champions League opponents AC Milan aren't so great.

The Frenchman cited the similarities he sees in the two clubs.

“Together we have a very balanced team!” he joked.

“Basically they have the same philosophy, that means they look after their players, they have a family attitude towards the way they treat the players, and we have exactly the same.

“They do it by keeping their players a bit longer and we have done it with some younger players but basically the philosophy is not so different.”
