Ex-Arsenal boss Wenger says Euro 2020 a triumph of the shorties!

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes Euro 2020 has been a triumph of the shorties!

Wenger believes this tournament has benefited the more diminutive stars.

"I think one of the characteristics of this tournament is it's the tournament of the small players," he said.

"There's less goals on counter-attacking and more regrouping and closing the space.

"The most influential players are like Lorenzo Insigne and Sterling. Players who are short, mobile, quick off the mark and can change direction because there's not much space. All of these players have been dominant."
