No dobut this was an specail night from Aresnal... what an peformance!

David Villa picked his spot, bottom corner

ROBING VAN PERSIE AND ITS IN!!!! WHOOP WHOOP!!!! Aresnal celbarate!! IT WILL BE THE ONLY GLORY DAY THEY HAVE ALL SEASON!!

Two brilliant goals from two brilliant players

both played well...

van persie looks like f*****g ben affleck

its so sad how the barca fans are writing off arsenal with the single stroke of the pen. well this is breaking news for you guys, barca without messi is like a strip bar without strippers, point made, but as for arsenal its diff, we have a bench that can rotate nd replace one for the other, we dont need walcott if ashavin nd nasri re fit, if fabs not there we have wilshere we play a more compact game but barca is all bout messi. point made

I know I am late but Up Arsenal and Up Wenger. That twat Mourinho cuts Wenger down all the time. 5-0 Mou.....lol 5-0. With all that money. Any player you want...Madrid will buy.

Wenger is a god and has perfected the art of football. Beautiful game and with players still kept down to earth. Can't wait the the UEFA rules come in with the balance. See ya Madrid.....

I'm really hoping that Barcelona can pull through and beat Arsenal in aggregate. I for one, would not like to see Barca, who have been playing at the top of their game this season, suddenly start to lose their form as the Champions Cup arrives.

Arsenal was nearly at his best level in this game, and Barca was not quite, even if it was a tough game for them and they are certainly not used to play against a team playing like Arsenal.
We will need to play another perfect game in Camp Nou, and SCORE A GOAL!
Go Gunners We can do it!!

Second is more defendig, dont know which one is smarter, but personaly i would go with the first one, and go for a goal, that would knock them out...

Barcelona are one of the greatest sides to grace the pitch and it would be stupid to underestimate them at the Nou camp. That said, Arsenal know they are in a great position and will be focused to get through. If the game is as beautiful as the first leg it will be a victory for football. All these arguments of whose the better side are useless because even if Arsenal go through you cannot definitely say they are the 'greater' side. At the end the day there are a lot of great sides that won nothing. Its all about the 90 mins, for example Greece won the Euro but no one would dare say they are one of the best sides ever but they played their football and found success. Arguments over whose better are useless, just enjoy the beautiful game people.

Arsenal had their fans as the twelth, thirteenth, etc... man on the pitch. I think that helped. Barca fans will need to find their voice for the second leg because against Bilbao we were really quiet that PEP had to "pep" up the crowd b himself. They don't feel the need to cheer because they expect the players to do the work themselves..

I think a lot of us would agree that Zhudayong should stop coming up with exuses
