In
a press conference in February of 2014, Jose Mourinho referred to Arsene Wenger
as a specialist in failure after the Arsenal manager stated that Mourinho was
afraid of failing. This triggered another round of the war of words between
both managers and until date, the battle has not seized. This stat however
confirms that Mourinho may have been right and Arsene Wenger know more about failing
than most after all.
Arsene
Wenger would get another crack at Mourinho on Saturday when both teams clash in
the premier league. The Frenchman won their last encounter, a 1-0 win in the
community shield and would fancy his chances going into Saturday’s game with
Chelsea’s recent Premier league form. The stat about Wenger’s champions league
losses are however quite staggering and before any fan goes crazy, Marcelo
Lippi, Carlo Ancelotti and Sir Alex Ferguson have managed more games in the
UEFA Champions league than Arsene Wenger and have lost less.
