Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says that Atletico Madrid - the club's opponents in the Europa League semi-finals - have "no weak points".

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has claimed that his side must focus on 'playing to their strengths' against Atletico Madrid in the Europa League.

The two tournament favourites have been drawn alongside each other at the semi-final stage, with the first leg taking place at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday night.

While Arsenal are only sixth in the Premier League, Atletico sit in second place in La Liga and Wenger has said that the Spanish giants have "no weak points".

At a press conference, the Frenchman told reporters: "To play to our strengths. We like to dictate the game and have the ball.

"They are a strong team - the second best in Spain. They have no weak point so we need a complete performance."

Wenger has acknowledged that he wants to win the Europa League to ensure that his 22-year reign at the club does not end in "an anti-climax".
