difficult for everybody," said Wenger on Sunday. "[But]

"It’s an interesting because development, will have
incidents on the sporting side as Barcelona is a highly
political club.
"It is interesting to see how they respond in the
championship. We have enough clubs here, 20, if you
want to go up to 24, but before we have to welcome
the Scottish before we go to the Spanish."
