Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger feels the Europa League is becoming increasingly more crucial to major clubs.
The Gunners face CSKA Moscow inside the quarter-final first leg at Emirates Stadium with Wenger under pressure to succeed the competition and secure the club's return towards the Champions League.
Wenger said : “I believe the amount of the Europa League has gone up. In case you look into the teams who were involved as well as some teams who went out like Dortmund, it is much more difficult than ever before - especially as there is much more focus onto it also since you have a spot for the Champions League.
“Everybody thinks, in certain big leagues, It‘s increasingly more difficult to become automatically inside the Champions League so it gets to be more focused upon the Europa League.
