• Wenger: European tussle bigger tahn United!

    ARSENE WENGER has dubbed Arsenal’s European tussle against Celtic tonight BIGGER than the game at Manchester United on Saturday.

    Gunners are 2-0 up in their Champions League play-off.

    But boss Wenger said: “This game is a more important one than Saturday for the club, by far. We have to give absolutely everything be- cause tomorrow you cannot come back.

     ”Saturday, even if we drop points against Manchester United, we can always catch them up – you have 35 games still to go.

     ”If we lose the game against Celtic, we have zero. It is a massive game.”

     Arsenal could scoop around £25million by taking part in the Champions League group stages alone. But the Emirates chief insisted: “It’s not the huge amount money that makes it such a huge fixture for us.

     ”It’s not the financial blow that matters, it’s that we want to be in the Champions League and this is a much bigger game for us than Saturday.”

     Arsenal are massive favourites to go through after their first-leg victory in Glasgow.

     But Wenger insisted: “It is not job done, it is job to do. That is how I approach it.

     ”Celtic have no choice, they have to come out and have a go at us. We will be faithful to our tactical approach.”
