Arsenal would have a chance against Real Madrid, insists Wenger

Arsenal could beat Real Madrid if the teams were drawn together in the Champions League last-16, according to Arsene Wenger.

The Gunners finished top of their group after beating Basel on matchday six, while rivals Paris Saint-Germain dropped two points against Ludogorets.

Arsenal will now face a second-placed team in the first knockout round, with Madrid and Bayern Munich among their potential opponents.

But Wenger says Arsenal fear no-one.

"You look at the teams we can get, some look more prestigious, more difficult, and you would like me to say 'I don't want this team or that team' but that would put us already in an inferior position if it happens," Wenger said at a news conference.
