The legendary coach of the "Gunners" Arsene Wenger "started an old record" about what players in his time missed Arsenal.

During his time at the London club, the French specialist discovered a lot of stars from the world, from Thierry Henry to Cesc Fabregas.

According to Wenger, two of the best football players of our time could play in his team: Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona ford of Lionel Messi.

"The most obvious example of a big player that Arsenal missed is Ronaldo".

"He came here with his mother, and we were very close to the contract. Then Manchester United intervened.

At that time, their coaching staff included the Portuguese Carlos Queiroz, who helped them sign Cristiano. In addition, we offered for a transfer Ronaldo 4. 5 million pounds, and United offered 12 million pounds, which Arsenal at that time could not afford ".

"As for Messi, Barcelona simply refused to sell it to us. They asked for Lionel, the amount that was enough to keep him in the club, "- quotes Wenger Sky Sports.

Earlier, Arsene Wenger said that he does not plan to leave football after leaving Arsenal.
