Two of the best passing sides in European football, Arsenal and Barcelona at the Nou Camp will meet with the English club to defend a 2-1 lead after the first leg of their knockout tie. Champions League round of 16 return match will decide which of the two big clubs will still live to fight against this year’s campaign. As most fans will remember, Arsenal came in the Nou Camp last year with an optimistic outlook similar; score 2-2, instead of this year, more positive 2-1. In 2010, Arsenal quickly grabbed a goal in the second leg and it seemed that Arsène Wenger was ready to win the clash between free-flowing attacking football. Messi then burst on the scene to score a hat-trick and the rest is history.

Barcelona vs. Arsenal Live Soccer Coverage:
Barcelona, on the contrary make a run of four victories in the affairs of the night after his surprise defeat in London. Pep Guardiola knows that there is no room for the sliding of a dream season can easily turn 180 degrees into a nightmare if victory is not assured. Score 2-1 in the first stage means that Barcelona can happen with a 1-0 win – but knowing the two teams set to take the step now suggests that we see many more goals.
Arsenal go to the game with a lot of baggage and problems. Injuries aside, there are no real excuses have lost the Carling Cup in Birmingham and then lose it again for two valuable points at Sunderland at the weekend. Except 5-0 win against Leyton Orient in the FA Cup replay match, Arsenal looked a shadow of the team that we saw in the Emirates, Feb. 16.
The most massive blow to Arsenal, Cesc Fabregas exit. Fabregas should be absent for more than five weeks, hence its absence causes a large hole in the education of visitors on Tuesday evening.
Fabregas has been seriously addressed by Carlos Puyol at the Emirates, which causes a fracture in his leg and his non-appearance in the return match in Barcelona Gallas. defending is also likely to watch the game from the stands at most, as a wound he received earlier this has not proved to be the best, too quickly. Finally, it’s Aaron Ramsey, Kieran Gibbs, Johan Djourou, Robin van Persie, and Andrey Arshavin also all eligible confrontation.
