CL | 1/8: FC Barcelona - Arsenal 5-1 agg.

[serghei]

I reckon we'll draw with them at the Emirates and then beat them at Camp Nou

Our away form in CL knockout rounds with Lucho has been better than with Pep. I actually think we will win 2-1 in England. Like in the game against City.

I reckon it will be 6 2 aggregate win for barca although arsenal is playing decently they still have some of the frailty's that so often sees them mess up there seasons

 

[Truthist]

I wish I'm wrong but I think this is going to be a very tough tie. Wenger has learnt his lesson and is going to set Arsenal up to play very deep at the back with 2 banks of 4 and hit us on the break.

Most teams do that anyway but they have seriously talented and quick players who could destroy our defence.

We are going to have to play smart and let them come on to us rather than trying to destroy them.

It's going to be fun but I'm definitely slightly worried about this one.

If we lose to Arsenal I'll eat my hat. Wenger is a massive choker and so is his team. We'll be a joke if we manage to be the team Arsenal breaks their history of being a joke in Europe on.

Bro.. He's tried that before.. They just couldn't do it for 180 minutes.

Current arsenal game is instilling a lot of comfort.

 

[Dan1983]

Never ceases to amaze me what an utter failure they can be at times. The chance to go top of the Premiership and they get thumped 4-0.

Arsenal was the team I wanted Barca to face the least. They seem to thrive when nothing is expected of them, and crumble when they're hyped. They tend to make things uncomfortably close whenever they face powerhouses in the CL despite playing like shit against shit teams in England.

 

[diegomessi]

We will tie or lose by 1 away, then bring the heat At home...

 

[Jaguar]

It's possible we'll tie or lose at Emirates, but not probable. I see a narrow victory for us there if we show up.

 

[KyletheMuslim]

Well, they just happend to beat Bayern at Emirates this season. Pretty tough to play at their stadium.

They then proceeded to lose 5-1 at the Allianz Arena, as I said...chill this is Arsenal

Still it shows they are good at home

 

[Kikan]

i'm going for 5:1 in Barcelona and 4:1 in England .

 

[Nucky]

I would wait with predicitions. It's still a long way till then, depends on the form both teams will be in. I remember they also said they will get trashed by Bayern in group stage twice but they managed to win at home 2-0. They did get trashed 5-0 in Germany but I wouldn't write them off so easy. Of course Barca is stronger,better but it won't be as easy as some think. I say 2-1/1-1 in England and 3-0 in Spain.

 

[Alik]

Forget about past games of other teams.

This is Barça. We go in as favorites against any team regardless of venue. (Not saying we always win).

So going to the Emirates thinking that we will probably lose is bollocks.

To those predicting a loss/draw, see you in the prediction thread
