Arsenal still superior - Benitez
Arsenal still superior - Benitez

Rafael Benitez believes Arsenal are still better than Liverpool, despite
the Reds' higher Premiership position.
Third-placed Liverpool can open up a 10-point lead over the Gunners if
they win at Anfield on Tuesday.
But the Reds boss said: "We have more points but I'm not the kind of
manager who says 'we're better than them'.
"We are not better than Arsenal because we are ahead of them at the
moment - but we are closer to them, as we are closer to Manchester
United."
Benitez added: "We need to maintain what we are doing and keep closer
and even go ahead.
"Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has done a very good job, he has experience
and he likes to play good football, so you must have a lot of respect
for this kind of manager and his team."
Defeats in the FA and Carling Cups, together with inconsistency in the
Premiership, have left Arsenal focusing on the Champions League as their
only realistic chance of silverware this season.
Midfielder Gilberto hopes the Gunners can repeat Liverpool's success last
season, when they won the European crown despite struggling in the
Premiership.
"It's a similar kind of situation," said the Brazilian, whose side face
Real Madrid in the Champions League.
"Anything can happen in football. Liverpool last year didn't do very well
in the championship but in the Champions League they won.
"You can see all the time in football that if you are prepared properly,
you can do something special.
"It can change for us. We are fighting for a better position in the
championship and we have another Champions League game in front of us and
we can make everything different.
"We can still make it a great season."
