TODAY: Arsenal v Barcelona

Today we find out just how good this year’s Barcelona squad is. Of course they played in their group stage very well and demolished a rather unmotivated Real Madrid side, but how will they perform against Englands #2? The gunners seem to be fairly up and down and, as wel saw against Newcastle a couple weeks ago, have the ability to crumble when things get tense.

MY PREDICTION: 3-1 Barcelona
I think the game will come down to the last 20 minutes, similar to the Spurs/Milan game. An early lead from Messi, perhaps a free kick or penalty goal from Nasri before half, and a some bizarre header midway through the 2nd. As Arsenal battles to make it even, perhaps coming close a few times, Barca kills their dreams late in the game from Messi.
