Uefa president Michel Platini has launched a scathing attack on Arsene Wenger, leaving the Arsenal boss ‘stunned’.

Wenger had earlier questioned Uefa's resistance to bringing in video technology to aid decision making but, during an interview with Dauphine Libere, Platini stressed that he was opposed to the idea as it could result in the introduction of more and more changes to the game.

And, when on the subject of Wenger personally, he told the newspaper: "I talk football, he talks business.

“It would make me happy that Arsene Wenger never sees it (video technology).”

Platini also stated that he believes that Wenger is solely concerned with protecting the interests of the big clubs and, when the subject of CFR Cluj’s surprise victory over Roma in the Champions League this week came up, the former France international again criticised his compatriot.

“That is what makes football so great," he said.

"It is what people like Wenger do not want – little clubs beating the big clubs – because they want their business."

Wenger admitted he was astonished by the attack and said that he simply wanted what was best for future of the game.

"I am stunned by the aggressive content of Platini's words," he told L'Equipe.

"I am effectively a supporter of video assistance for referees, like all coaches, and I believe Uefa have an important role to play in this.

"I am for sporting justice and Uefa must be the guarantor of it."

Wenger added: "I am a supporter of good management of clubs, for financial equilibrium and Uefa must equally support this idea.

“I am fighting for the future of the game and of football.

"I don't see why Uefa should take umbrage at ideas that are different from theirs."
