Arsenal won the game played in Champions League with Barcelona, after a first round where Barcelona dominated the game, Arsenal in only 5 minutes took the lead and won the game with 2-1, goals scored by Van Persie 78, Arşavin 83 for Arsenal and Villa 26 for Barcelona.

The hero of the match was Wenger, who by his moves obtained a great victory. The result also can be attribute to the fans who push their team from behind, giving unconditional support!

“We showed great character to come back from 1-0 down, especially against Barcelona. They are the best team in the world.” said Wenger after the match, also is realist and said that Barcelona are still favourites to reach the Champions League quarter-finals.

Guardiola is still optimist and said “we have lost the first leg so we have to win the second leg..”. In his opinion Barcelona played well and had only good words for his players.

Statistics: over 60% possesion for Barcelona, but with Arsenal had more shots, 13, with 3 more then Barcelona.
