Arsene Wenger will celebrate his 200th European game when Arsenal face Olympiakos in the Champions League.

Arsene Wenger will celebrate his 200th European game when Arsenal face Olympiakos in the Champions League tonight.

The Frenchman's first foray into European football came in 1988 when he took Monaco to the UEFA Cup quarter-finals.

"It is an impressive number because 200 games usually make a whole career. It's a privilege to play 200 games in Europe," Wenger said.

"Now, we'll try to do well on this occasion. Of these 200 games in Europe, there must be about 160 in the Champions League. That is at the highest level and it's been a fantastic experience.

"We have won everywhere. That means Arsenal is remembered well all over Europe as a strong club."

Arsenal go into tonight's clash as Group F winners and Wenger is likely to field a youthful team as a result.
