    I'll be frank - Arsenal has very little chance of winning at Nou Camp (10-20%). If they use the same strategy they employed in this leg over in Spain, it'll be a repeat of last year. Which is why I hope Wenger is seriously considering playing an Inter-like tactic.
    that, clog up the midfield and go hard at their defense, sure Barca will score, but their defense is not keeping this offense out either.

    Besides we're talking about a team that cannot hold-on to the 4-0 lead for a half, let alone 2-1 for a whole game.

    He should but I don't think he has the coaching gravitas for something like that.

    They can try that - sure. But Barca was pretty bad today, they would've shredded Arsenal on the counter on any typical day. If they decide to go hard at Barca in three weeks, I don't mind. I just don't expect it to end particularly well.

    What was up with barca taking out villa so early? I thought that was their worst mistake.
    Yeah that was weird. But Villa is pretty overrated IMO. He does capitalize on his few chances at a relatively high rate though from what I've seen.

    Anyway, Maxwell and Pedro. These dudes are clowns. If I were Guardiola I would rather have Mascherano as a wingback over Maxwell, dude only made mistakes. Pedro, also only made mistakes. He didn't get the ball much, but when he does, automatic turnover. And....he spends the entire game offsides, even though that moron is speedy enough to be able to sprint to a ball. Garbage player.

    But damn that defense was weak, Arsenal created way better opportunities. Messi should have given the ball up way earlier on so many plays, it was frustrating. Another one of my biggest frustrations was how Barca seem complacent and y enough to expect nothing terrible to happen as a team...when they turned it over, many times they just chilled and didn't bother to prevent a counter from beginning. They let it carry on. When you have relatively few men back, you gotta try to win that ball back immediately after losing it, not just a couple players. Arsenal's best chances the entire game came off of counters....the counter attack literally killed Barca today. God damn. As soon as I saw Nasri with the ball on the right wing, I knew the game was over. Complacent bags.

    I still can't believe Arsenal actually turned this one around. Barca looked like they had the game all wrapped up, but they got a little complacent and lazy.
    Great goal by van Persie, nevermind if he actually wanted to hit the ball straight on goal. The second goal was set up just beautifully, and Arshavin's finishing abilities are first-rate, even if he has sucked for most of the season.

    Still, I think Barca will advance in the second leg. Messi didn't have one of his better games, and you won't see Barca playing as languidly as they did in the second half.

    All in all, a game. But : Arsenal is for now, at least.

    Agreed, I've always thought Guardiola was overrated because of the players he has on the team.

    Think you gotta give Pep credit for the passing/possession game Barca play, though. It's been absurd under his reign.

    Pique not playing could be a problem for Barca in return match. Milito wasn't exactly stellar last time around.
    BIG problem.


    I don't feel comfortable when both Pique and Puyol are out. Well, I would, if Pep used Mascherano as a wingback instead of Maxwell if Abidal moves to the center. Maxwell should honestly not wear the Barca shirt again, he blows.

    Honestly being in that stadium for that moment would have been awesome for anybody. Adrenaline foaming out the mouth


    I'm sure a massive proportion of north Londoners are passed out on the streets after draining all of the local pubs of their brew.

    Busquets was the best Barca player IMO, I never saw him play a better game.

    FC Copenhagen 0 - 4 Chelsea

    Lyon 2 - 1 Madrid

    Marseille 0 - 2 Manchester Utd

    Inter Milan 2 - 2 Bayern Munich
    I'm keeping these, but changing the Inter score 2-1 for the home team. I might even change the Madrid prediction, but I never know which team will show up, and they've been notorious recently for being eliminated immediately by "lesser" teams (like Roma and Lyon).

    Chelsea will probably win big and just win the whole tie altogether in one match, and they'll probably end up getting Shahktar after this round. I also think Manchester Utd take care of business, although Marseille are very good.

    Do you know if that's just Champions or domestic leagues/cups???

    Either way, that's very impressive.
