'We are completely lacking the consistency': Bernd Leno gives honest assessment of Arsenal's Champions League chances

"We are completely lacking the consistency," Bernd Leno told Kicker.

"In autumn we had big problems, a bad atmosphere… and we turned the corner.

"Now we’re at least getting a taste of the Europa League again. The Champions League will be very, very difficult."

Arsenal sit tenth in the Premier League, 10 points behind fourth-placed Chelsea with a game in hand.

It means that the Gunners have only an outside chance to win a spot in the Champions League through the league.

The Europa League is the more likely route to get back into the elite European competition but there's a still long way to go.

Arsenal are close to qualifying to the last 8 after beating Olympiakos in the away leg 3-1.
