Ex-Marseille owner Tapie enjoys Champions League dig at Wenger

Former Olympique Marseille owner Bernard Tapie has enjoyed a dig at Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.

Wenger is no great fan of Tapie - and the controversial former OM chairman had a swipe at the departing Gunners manager.

"It's not because he thinks badly of me that I think of him. There are not many French coaches who can boast his career," said Tapie.

"He was champion in France and England. He won the Champions League, by the way? No. (Ironic.) Oh s***, I did not remember, no really. (Laughs) It's the only blot on the board."

Tapie's OM won the Champions League in 1993.
