Gunners boss: CL bigger than World Cup

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes that the UEFA Champions League far exceeds the global reach of FIFA World Cup due to the overall higher level of quality within the squads of top European clubs.

The Gunners, who are yet to hit top gear this season, are still clearly a better side than many national teams that compete in the World Cup and based on that logic, Wenger insists that there are no peers on the national team level for clubs like Champions League holders Barcelona.
