Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has expressed his pride at his side's qualification through to the knockout stages of the Champions League.

The Gunners booked their place in the last 16 of the competition for a 13th consecutive time on Wednesday with a 2-0 win over French champions Montpellier.

"I'm very proud because it's not the most glamorous thing, but it's most difficult to be consistent at our level," Wenger told the club's official website.

"It is a credit to the club because it is not as easy as it looks. If you look all over Europe, there are not many teams who do it."

Arsenal conclude the group stage with a trip to Greece to face Olympiakos on December 4.
