Van Persie warns Arsenal cannot take any challenge lightly on Euro path

Robin van Persie has warned Arsenal must be on their guard in Europe this season - no matter what calibre of opposition they face. The draw for the opening group stages of the Champions League was kind to the Gunners, who had to come through a two-leg qualifier against Celtic, throwing up clashes with Standard Liege, Dutch new comer AZ Alkmaar and Greek side Olympiakos, the visitors to Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night. Arsene Wenger's men, however, faced a tough opening Group H fixture at the compact Maurice Dufrasne Stadium, where a blistering start from the Belgians left Arsenal 2-0 down inside the first five minutes before battling back to win with a late goal from Eduardo.
