London, Apr. 7 : Arsenal are "super outsiders" to win the Champions League next month, and team manager Arsene Wenger is delighted that the bookies' also thinks so.

The Gunners boss is more than happy for his young team to play the role of rank outsiders going into tonight's quarterfinal first leg in Villarreal.

Wenger claims Arsenal are only 50-50 to beat the unpredictable Spaniards who lost 3-0 at Almeria over the weekend.

Then there is the strong likelihood of a semi-final meeting with favourites Manchester United before they can even think about the final in Rome on May 27.

The Sun quoted Wenger as saying: "I cannot say who will be in the semi-finals but I do know that we are the super outsiders to win the trophy this season." (ANI)
