The Frenchman was left fuming after Robin van Persie was sent off for a second bookable offence against Barcelona, after the striker kicked the ball away only a fraction of a second after the whistle was blown.
And the former Monaco boss took the matter up with referee Massimo Busacca after the Gunners had been eliminated from the Champions League, only to eventually land a one-match ban for his remonstrations.
But now the north London outfit's manager has confirmed that he is considering an appeal.
"Yes, I might [appeal against the ban]," Wenger said, according to The Times.
"It will be one of the very few times that I feel I don’t deserve to be punished because I don’t feel I did anything wrong.
"I have no chance to speak my mind and I will have to accept it, but frankly I don’t feel wrong and you don’t feel at ease if you know you have done something wrong. This time I am quite relaxed. I don’t even listen to what they say because I know what I’ve done and what I have said."
Wenger added: "I expected to be punished because they [Uefa] will only do a meeting like that to punish people.
"I asked to have a personal hearing but Uefa said that it was not possible [before the appeals process]. That is very strange because I would have to say some interesting things."
