Champions League Quarter Final Arsenal Vs Barcelona

Henry after loosing the 2006 Champions League Final to current club Barcelona

Arsenal will face Barcelona in the Champions League Quarter Final where an interesting match awaits football fans from around the world.

Arsenal fans can easily remember the 2006 Champions League Final where Arsenals goalkeeper, Jens Lehmann was sent off in just the 18th minute leaving Arsenal to play with ten men for the majority of the game.

Jens Lehmann became the first player ever to be sent of in the Champions League Final when he fouled Samuel Eto’o.

Arsenal have been performing very well in Europe this season and passed the Champions League Knockout Stage against Porto with a 5-0 victory.

Arsenal’s line up is weaker then Barcelona with the likes of Lionel Messi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic , Thierry Henry and Andres Iniesta driving much of the attacking force for last years European Champions.

Arsenal’s main inspiration a fellow Catalan and Barcelona youth player Fabregas will be the main inspiration for the young English side will have to show their worth against Europe’s best at the end of the month.

Another very important aspect to think about is the return of the legendary Arsenal player Thierry Henry who was the clubs most influential individual.

Arsenal’s former captain will return to the club that he played for eight seasons from 1999 to 2007.

Match Predictions who will progress
Arsenals home record this season in the Champions League has been impeccable, conceding only 1 goal from there last four games while scoring 13 including the 5-0 hammering of Portuguese side Porto.

Barcelona’s away form this season has been mediocre with the Spanish giants only managing to pick up six points from their last four champions league away games.

For Arsenal to have any chance against the Spanish giants they must make sure they go to the Nou Camp without conceding any goals at home.

Barcelona have had a brilliant record in Europe this season and will be expected to score a few goals with such talented players as Messi and Ibrahimovic.

Arsene Wenger will have to do his homework very well as Barcelona looks favourites to progress. But be ready for surprises as Arsenal should never be undermined as history tells us, they can always pull the rabbit from the hat.

The mouth watering Champions League Quarter Final game between Arsenal Vs Barcelona will be played on Wednesday, 31st March.
