Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has urged his side to believe, as the Gunners head to Monaco on a mission impossible in their attempts to recover a 3-1 deficit and qualify for the Champions League quarter-finals.
Wenger: “If we have no belief for Monaco, we have no chance. We have to believe in ourselves.” #AFCvWHU

The predicament mirrors that of the 12/13 season as Arsenal headed to Bayern Munich looking for the same scoreline and came tantilisingly close, winning 2-0 on the night and going out via the away goals rule.
