***cielny is the worst LOL

Game is over, Barcelona are through 4-3 on aggregate.

[TMI1995]

Arsenal out

[yashar_fasihnia]

funny how the 2 players arsenal was relying on the most this game and excited about their return - fabregas and van persie both played huge roles in screwin up their own team.

fabregas unncessary back pass led to first goal right infront of their penalty area.

van persie unnecessary red card.

if I see another arsenal fan saying they play the best football I will kill them.
0 shots!!
all epl teams are garbage even real betis of second division managed to shooot 3-4 times on target in nou camp.

That was a VERY HARSH sending off.

RVP took the shot after the whistle was blown 1 second after, how is that WASTING time?? It's a strikers instinct to strike the ball.. I mean, come on.. Everyone was baffled when the referee approached RVP.. If it was really 'wasting' time, then you would see Barcelona players moaning to the referee about it. BuT YOU DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING.. IT WAS NEVER A SENDING OFF..

The referee didn't lose Arsenal the game, but he made sure Barcelona won it. Woeful decision . . .


However, Barca were class apart. The movement and play was breathtaking.. As expected, I did expect Arsenal to concede.. I was surprised that the vulnerability of Barcelonas defence was not even tested. Arsenal got a corner, and scored from it.. and if Bentdner had a BETTER touch, then it could've been all over for Barca.

While I do feel a bit sorry for Arsenal, we still need to recognise what a genius Lionel Messi is. His two goals tonight mean he is now Barcelona's outright leading scorer in European competition with 33 - he had been level with Rivaldo on 31 His flick for his first goal was sensational too... oh, and he has now hit 45 goals this season. The big 50 cannot be far away, surely?

Congrats to Barca.

^soft sending off no doubt, Busaca is a brilliant ref, I think he called it from his linesman, but didn't affect the game hugely, because even before that Arsenal didn't pose any danger in attack, as i showed, they had 0 shots and scored 1 goal Lol
typical epl teams, ****ing clinical

Arsenal out

Barca In

[HuSsAiN]

Barcelona 21 shots to arsenals 0.

738 passes to arsenals 199.
69% of the possession.

Xavi done around 108 passes.. Iniesta 104 passes..the highest arsenal player who made the most passes was wilshere (25).. however these stats don't prove much because the two teams had different goals, Arsenal's was to keep Barca from scoring at all cost, and Barcelona's was to score. anyhow, still breathtaking

[Abbas85]

Arsenals best player was Almunia simply because their defense was worse than Steel Azins.

Watching the replay of 2nd half again, breath taking.
Although its one way traffic, still exciting, from minute 60 onwards its chance after chance for Barca.
pep said if we get past Ars we can go all the way, keep your word pep

Ronaldo9's record of all time goals scored in a season is 47, Messi will surely go into high 50s by the end of the season.

How many Goals Christiano got this season ?
