Arsenal boss Wenger proves the perfect diplomat ahead of CSKA clash

Daily Mail  

As East-West tensions escalated amid threats and counter-threats over Syria, Arsene Wenger slipped quietly into the Russian capital, proving to be just the man to send into a diplomatic crisis. Arsene Wenger was in diplomat mode when speaking to the press on Wednesday evening Arsenal are in Russia to face CSKA Moscow in the second leg of their Europa League clash Arsenal trained in London on Wednesday before flying out east for their quarter final Two football clubs have forged an unlikely bond over the two legs of a Europa League quarter-final tie framed by the crisis which has erupted since spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned in Salisbury, last month. Wenger said fans should have no problems after CSKA's supporters were welcome in London It would be Arsenal's first European final since 2010 when they were beaten on penalties by Galatasaray in the UEFA Cup. Arsenal, who have never won in Russia, need only avoid a calamity against CSKA to proceed to the last four and will use Barcelona's demise in the Champions League to guard against complacency. Shkodran Mustafi said Arsenal would be cautious after Roma's comeback against Barcelona 'It came at the perfect time for us,' said Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi.
