Jose Mourinho: Arsenal losing to Olympiakos in Champions League would be 'fantastic'
Jose Mourinho hopes Arsenal lose to Olympiakos
JOSE MOURINHO has kick-started his feud with Arsene Wenger once more by claiming it would be 'fantastic' if Arsenal get knocked out the Champions League.
 
The Gunners are teetering on the edge of qualification to the knock-out stages of the competition following their 3-0 win over Dinamo Zagreb.
But they must still defeat Olympiakos if they're to avoid being booted out at this stage for only the second time in Arsene Wenger's tenure.
The Greek side come into the game off the back of a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Bayern Munich, something Wenger will be hoping to capitalise on.
 
However, Mourinho has admitted he'd much rather see his fellow Portuguese manager and friend Marco Silva reach the last 16.
"They [Arsenal] are in a group where a kid friend of mine, Marco Silva, he is the manager of Olympiakos," he said.
"It would be fantastic for the kid's career to go through, so I have to be honest and say that I would like the kid and Olympiakos to go on."
