This morning Arsenal's manager Arsene Wenger admitted it's hard beating a side who have turned their profession into art. He's right. In Messie, Neymar and Suarez,or Al Dente as I like to call him, Barcelona have arguably the greatest attacking profile ever seen on a football field, with the possible exception of the 1970 Brazil national side.
Unfortunately the defeat and exit from European football may mark an exit from the Emirates Stadium of their most fiercely loyal servant. Wenger has served Arsenal admirably for over 20 years, but as we have seen with Jose Mourinho, that don't mean a thing. It's what you did today and at best last week that matters in football management, and it may finally be time for him to bid us Au Revoir.
I for one will be sad to see him go. I loved his unswerving loyalty to his players, the way he would develop sudden blindness to offences they may have committed while being at the same time eagle-eyed to the infringements of players on the opposing side. This isn't cheating- its what a good manager does.
Will he retire now, on the doubtless golden deal he will secure for his pension, or seek pastures new?
I feel we haven't seen the last of him yet.
