Arsenal vs Barcelona, Take 2 (Merged)

[sammyvine]

Despite Arsenal winning I thought the gulf in class between the two sides was huge. Arsenal were chasing shadows, and if Messi was on the ball it would have been all over.

Barca also had a goal disallowed and a pen turned down as well.

Barca will rape them at The Nou Camp.

They created a host of chances away from home, how much more at home.

fair play to the arse but they will be well beaten in second leg . barcs won't slip up twice.

I agree with this...I thought the first half was similar to how Aris played against us, 11 behind the ball looking for a break to counter. unfortunately barca played all their football in the first half and as others have said settled for 1 nil on 67 minutes when they took Villa off....welldone to arsenal though, they have definately matured since last season.

Barca will score 5 at there place and Arsenal will be humiliated once again.

They were shit last and got lucky, wont happen when puyol is playing.

Barcelona's problem was that they seemed to settle for 1-0 which was very strange for them. They invited Arsenal on to them late on.

Was good to see Wiltshire play well, especially the pass for the second goal.

I want them to get through, and Tottenham, the more games they play the more chance it will help us.

I think they can go there and get a result now they know they can be beaten.

Counter attack... play everything through LOLcott and watch the Barca defence crumble.

That's how Arsenal will progress.

Brilliant game of football. Great advert for the beautiful game.

I expect Tony Pulis was confused watching the game. Couldn't understand why the ball was on the ground a lot.

what a night, what a result....over the moon. Its still gonna be hard to go though, but remember we took the lead at camp nou with much weaker team and Silvestre in defence. Koscielny once again showed why he is the next Nesta
