One of the biggest match of 2011 as first leg was won by Arsenal at Emirates and they will be hunting to end the Barcelona run in the Champions League and they will be hoping to end the long baren run without the trophy. Arsenal are playing reasonable well this season but Barcelona's form has been impacable this season and they are winning match after match, scoring goals and bundle of goals with all of their strike players are playing at the top of their game at the moment.
Last year it was Leo Messi who stole the show at Nou Camp as he managed to get 4 goals in the second which kind of put the game to bed for Arsenal but Wenger is confident that his boys can make a great use of the advantage they have after the first leg. FC Barcelona one the other hand will go into this match needing just 1-0 win and considering the fact that they are playing at home and in front of hostile crowd I can see them getting this big win and get themselve a Quarter Final berth.
Arsenal were missing some of the biggest players last season, but they have all the squad available at the moment and it will be an epic match which is greatly anticipated at the moment. Barcelona are playing really good while Arsenal are getting results too which means this will be a huge match.
Predictions: Barcelona are playing at the top of their game at the moment but their recent few results show that they are not as fluent as they were before the Arsenal 1st leg, and with trailing on the night against a team which are very good at counter attack I can see them going out of the Champions League at this stage.
