Arsene Wenger today labelled Rafa Benitez a 'super manager' as the Liverpool boss looks to revive our Champions League campaign in Lyon.
The Arsenal chief was quizzed on Liverpool's mixed start to the season which has left them needing victory in France tonight to get back into Group E contention.
Wenger pointed to Benitez's superb record in management as proof he was the right man to turn Liverpool's campaign around.
"Rafa Benitez is a super manager," said the Frenchman.
"We live in a world where democratic judgment is only in the present, and that's why it's very important to have directors who are strong enough to resist, as well to explain why they resist."
