Arsenal v FC Barcelona, UEFA Champions League 2015-16 - Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar spoil Arsenal's mood


I never thought that Arsenal would have a chance of winning against Barcelona last night. Rather, I was frustrated after the first half ended goalless. It took 71 minutes for the fans world wide to witness the first goal of the match. Ahhhhh...it took a bloody long time, I guess. The blocking-method of Arsenal was dented by some superb counterattacking display by the Catalans. Suarez and Neymar created the perfect chance for Lionel Messi to break the Cech Hoodoo and then, Messi scored again from the penalty spot to make tasks difficult for Arsenal to surpass the round of 16 stage of the Champions League.

Do you think Arsenal can win 3-0 against Barcelona when they travel there? In my opinion, it’s bloody impossible. I am not qualified  enough to teach Mr. Wenger football, but being a follower of soccer, I can say that an amalgamation of compactness at the back and composure in front of the goal post are much needed to succeed in the mega-events. Arsenal’s compactness was decent, but their level of composure was zero.

Thank You
