Former Arsenal manager Wenger: Baku final a nightmare for fans

Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says the Europa League final will be a “nightmare" for supporters.

The Gunners are expecting only a small contingent of fans to make the trip to Baku on Wednesday for the final against Chelsea.

Wenger said: “It's the fans who have the problem as Baku is as little bit of a nightmare."

Speaking about the game for the first time, he added: “For the two teams it won't affect their preparations. A final is a final and it's the same for both sides.

“The players and coaches live in ideal conditions, they have a private jet and nice business seats. The fans have the problem."
