CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GROUP B
Defiant manager Arsene Wenger has insisted there is no crisis at Arsenal and he will want to prove it with victory over Olympiakos.
enger: We must winThe Gunners are in Athens for Tuesday's final UEFA Champions League Group B clash on the back of a 2-0 home defeat by Swansea City which was preceded by angry fans demonstrations.
There have also been follow-up reports of dressing room bust-ups as well as questions over Wenger's long-term position but the Frenchman used his pre-Olympiakos press conference to hit back.
Wenger said ahead of what is effectively a dead rubber, with his side already qualified for the European knockout stages: "You should look a little bit at the statistics and not only read the newspapers.
"I only have one pressure and that is to win the next football game and to play the football I love."
Wenger feels the likes of 18-year-old forward Zak Ansah, 19-year-old Swiss defenders Sead Hajrovic and Elton Monteiro as well as young English striker Chuba Akpom, 17, will all learn from the experience at the white-hot Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium.
Victory may not be enough for Arsenal to overtake leaders Schalke, who play at bottom club Montpellier, in Group B.
But Olympiakos have failed to reach the knockout stages following three defeats, although they are flying high in their domestic league after an unbeaten 13-match start to the new campaign.
