Brotherly love won't distract Wenger

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger insists there can be no room for sentiment or nostalgia as he looks to get past former club Monaco.

Wenger enjoyed a hugely succesful spell in the Principality when taking his first steps into what would become an illustrious coaching career, winning the Ligue 1 title in 1987-88 as well as the 1991 Coupe de France.

Under his guidance, Monaco went on to reach the European Cup Winners’ Cup final, losing to Werder Bremen, and also the semi-finals of the Champions League in 1994, all of which came against the backdrop of the Marseille match-fixing scandal.
