Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes there is a more variety of team who can contest for the Champions League trophy this season.

Over the past six season’s in the prestigious tournament, Real Madrid have won it twice, Barcelona twice, Bayern Munich once and Chelsea once.

However, the 67-year-old feels like the Champions League has become a more open competition with any of the team’s participating in the tournament having the chance of lifting the trophy .

‘It looks like [there are more contenders],’ Wenger told the Arsenal website, ‘No team is super, super favourite and everybody can have a chance.

‘The quality of the draw, or the luck of the draw, could have a part to play as well because we know now that after finishing top of the group, our second game is at home.

‘So that gives you a psychological advantage and we just have to look at it and deal with it after.’

Arsenal will be hoping to continue their winning ways when they travel to Goodison Park when they play Everton in the Premier League on Tuesday.

Kick-off has been scheduled for 21:45.
