Wenger plays Arsenal's Champions League get out of jail card... but qualification is nothing to crow about

The Gunners completed a lucky escape from their Champions League group as they qualified for the last 16 with a 3-0 win at Olympiakos on Wednesday night.

Arsenal players would be well advised not to gloat too much in the coming days following the scenes of jubilation after they booked their place in the Champions League last 16.

They produced a fantastic performance to beat Olympiakos 3-0 in Athens on Wednesday night to complete their progression from a group in which they lost their first two matches - and that was before they had even faced Bayern Munich.
