Barca looked almost ordinary there at the end of the 2nd half, but if the trio are all playing in the Nou Camp Arsenal will have a tough game on. Anyone know where Barca's Toure was tonight? He'll probably be central defence next leg if he's not injured. Nm, just checked and he was a sub.

Was it just me or did Fabregas actually kick Puyol, rather than the other way round? I'm glad the cheating bastard injured himself in the process.

 

Puyol did'nt do anything wrong he did'nt even try to stick a leg out , Fabregas got his leg tangled between Puyols legs trying to shoot.

 

Extremely harsh on Puyol there.

ITV already referring to it as one of the greatest comebacks in European history, probably since that balmy night in Barcelona. Arsenal are out, I can't see them winning in the Nou Camp, although both centre backs out will give them a bit of a headache.

Yeah but they were half a mile away from the ball and Puyol was just running and not even attempting to get the ball, Fabregas put his leg round Puyol's and dived. He then pretended to get injured as he felt the heat only to find to his horror that they had no subs left and had to go back on and pretend to be injured again. The cheating little bollocks.

Henry seems to have totally lost his va-va-voom. Even Babel on a bad day doesn't look as disinterested as that.

 

Zlatan's 2nd goal wasn't dissimilar to Torres' v ManU at Anfield. Except obviously that was much better. Obviously.

Tyldesley really was creaming himself, wasnt he?

Barcelona was unbelievable in the first half, and unbelievably naive tactically in the second. Guardiola should be proud of what he has created, however this time he seriously screwed it up. A sentimental substitution by a professional manager in this situation. Not very impressive.

Some of Barcelona's football tonight was just unbelievable. How they didn't utterly destroy Arsenal is anyone's guess but I think at 2-0, it was just too easy for them and they took their foot off the gas.

 

You can't do that against the English teams because they play at such a high tempo all of the time.

 

They're still clear favourites though, even without Puyol and Pique. Can't wait for the second leg because tonight's game was brilliant to watch.

What a match. Barca were out of this world until they took they took the foot of the gas. Fair play to Arsenal for punishing them for it, though I hope and think they'll go out on tuesday.

 

If you look at Barca's two goals, both were results of Song not being able to hold the line in the central defense. Had he still been in midfield, I don't think those chances would've happened.
