Wenger - Gunners not through just yetArsene Wenger has warned his Arsenal team they must remain focused to cement their place in the lucrative group stages of the Champions League.
The Gunners hold a comfortable 3-0 advantage from the first leg of their qualifier against Dinamo Zagreb following an impressive performance by what was effectively a make-shift side in Croatia.
However, Wenger has seen too much football to take anything for granted for the second leg on Wednesday night.
"We want to be really careful because it is a massive match for the club and we want to finish the game well, so it is important our focus is very high," the Arsenal boss declared.
"It is not over.
"It is 80% there - but you never knock anybody out of these competitions without giving everything in both of the two games.
"We have learned that from our experience, and I will remind the players of that."
Given how early the Gunners were forced to return to competitive action - just three months since their brave European Cup final defeat to Barcelona - and the injury situation facing Wenger, the Arsenal manager had little option but to rotate his side.
However, the likes of Johan Djourou, Justin Hoyte and summer signing Tomas Rosicky produced quality displays as a double strike from ever-improving Cesc Fabregas set the Barclays Premiership club on their way to a resounding away win.
Wenger noted: "Our performance in Zagreb was beyond exception, but the way we mastered the game was very positive."
Arsenal are set to have the likes of captain Thierry Henry, rested for the first leg following his World Cup exploits with France, and goalkeeper Jens Lehmann, who served a ban for his sending off in last season's final, available at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday evening.
Sweden winger Freddie Ljungberg has been rushed back from an ankle problem and could feature should he come through the Premiership opener against Aston Villa unscathed.
Rosicky and winger Jose Antonio Reyes - unsettled so much by speculation linking him with Real Madrid he was left on the bench in Zagreb - are both doubtful with respective groin problems.
It also remains to be seen whether Wenger will select wantaway defender Ashley Cole for the tie, and effectively cup-tie the England left-back should he eventually move to any other club.
The impressive 60,000-seater venue in Ashburton Grove will get its first taste of top-level European football next week.
With some £390million invested into the project, the Gunners boss knows just how important it is to ensure his team remain competitive on the pitch.
"It is a key moment because we have had massive expenses with the new stadium," Wenger told Arsenal TV Online.
"The challenge in front of us is to have jointly build a new stadium and have a big team together
"We want to prove that this season, that we have maintained our level and even improved our football level
"The challenge is massive, but I am confident we can do it.
Wenger added: "Our target is to create a new era and we feel compared to the beginning of last season, we have made a big step forwards."
