Wenger has never won the Champions League himself but says winning the Premier League is a greater achievement.
“It is overrated,” said Wenger. “It is a cup, it is not a championship – how many games do you need to win?
“If it was a European championship over 38 games then it would be different and you can say the team who wins that is really the best in Europe. Were AC Milan the best team in Europe last season? I’m not convinced.
“I think it is harder to win the Premier League than the Champions League because you do not have to win as many games to be crowned champions of Europe.”
