damn it. alves talks smack again...
although it's true but shouldn't be said publicly.
a few people are getting a bit too arrogant i think.
recently sala i martin( the funny jacket dude) said something really cocky to capello in the toilet during the match.
anyways, here is the whole Alves interview
"We are far better than Arsenal"
Barcelona's Dani Alves believes that Arsenal need a miracle to beat his team and progress to the Champions League semis.
Arsenal mounted an improbable comeback against Barcelona at the Emirates last Wedensday to secure a 2-2 draw but most pundits still consider the Spanish giants to be overwhelming favourites to go through.
Alves agrees with them.
In comments reported by the Daily Mail, the defender said: "I have never played in a team that has created so many chances so early in a game. Only Almunia and a lot of luck spared Arsenal."
"We put on an exhibition and it is amazing to think that we drew the match. The final result left us feeling sore but we know the difference between us and them is huge and we are ready to confirm that in the second game."
"Nothing has been decided but Arsenal need a big miracle to get to the semi-finals."
Both sides have been hit by some crucial injuries and suspensions going into the game. The Gunners will be missing captain Cesc Fabregas, forward Andrey Arshavin and defender William Gallas - in addition to long term absentees like Robin van Persie.
Barcelona will be minus the services of their first choice central defensive pairing of Carlos Puyol and Gerard Piquet - both through suspension. In addition - in-form striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is likely to miss out due to injury.
However, Alves is confident the Catalans will be better able to cope with the absences.
"Fabregas is a massive player for Arsenal and his absence could be decisive," said the right-back.
"Arshavin not playing will seriously damage their attacking options. It's a big problem for Wenger but a possible advantage for us."
"Both squads will be suffering from players not being available but I believe our squad will overcome these problems much more easily."
"It's a huge week for this club, we have to finish this match and then face Real Madrid [in La Liga on Sunday, April 11]."
"If we beat Arsenal I believe we will find it easier to strike a major blow in the race for the championship."
