Gooners planning away day trips face less travelling time than Premier League rivals
Arsenal may have the toughest draw in the Champions League but their fans face the easiest journey to watch the games, new research shows.
The Gunners have been drawn in a group with Marseille, Borussia Dortmund and Napoli meaning trips to France, Germany and Italy are on the cards.
Fans planning to watch their side play away in Europe will face a combined journey time of 14 hours and 44 minutes if they travel by train and plane.
The total cost for this would be £355.89 but fans wanting the cheaper option of driving risk being on the road for a total of 46 hours and 10 minutes.
