As both teams have a similar style of keeping the ball and making crisp passes, both even make 39 passes to score the goal, it is a joy to watch.But that day arsenal were out played, outclassed and even outfoxed by the mighty Spanish giants.Barcelonas striker Zalatan Ibrahimovic scored early in the second half in the 46th minute and 59th minute.It was Xavi and Messiwho gave arsenal a great deal of worry with their passes, Ineista was injured for this match.
Arsenal then had trouble as William Gallas was carried off and Anrey Arshavin limped out in the 38th minute , both had calf problem. Wenger through his trump and got on Theo Walcott got a good goal back in the 69th minute and the equlizer was scored by penalty as Fabregas was brought down by Carles Puyol, who got a straight redcard, Fabregas scored the penalty with a broken leg in 86th minute. This just shows this youngsters class a desire for the game and team.As fabregas got a second yellow card he misses the second leg , so doer Carles Puyol and Gerrard Pique.
