it'll be hard, but i think barca can win this with a bit of luck
Özil is in his prime and better than everyone in Barcas midfield and Giroud is a literal god in football now he has peaked
it'll be hard, but i think barca can win this with a bit of luck
>>65731899
But Barcelona has best goalkeeper in the world.
They beat Leicester, there's literally no one left who's able to stop them
>>65731899
Lol
>>65731913
ter stegen is great but giroud will probably get in a few goals
Monreal and koscielny might be able to stop messi but merteslacker and bellerin won't be able to stop neymar. And I suspect instead of trying to play Barca at their own game (ie play possession circa 2011), Arsenal would rather sit back deep and hit on the counter, which would rely on Walcott and Sanchez playing at their absolute best, which neither have managed to do this season. I just can't see Arsenal even having a chance at winning desu
arsenal are getting drybummed tbph
arsenal has a decent home record against barca. 3 games, 6 goals, 1 win 1 draw 1 loss - and the loss was at wembley so doesn't really count as home.
noucamp MESSI MESSI MESSI and refball will decide it. 2-1 win or 2-2 at emirates.

Please go back to your containment board
Atleast Wonga can say "it's Barca" after they get knocked out and continue another season. And this might be turning point for Arsenal. If they lose big they might lose confidence and fall back to 4th place.
>>65732200
Mesut Özil is a Real Madrid reject m8, get your facts straight
>>65732222
Quads confirm it bro
>>65732222
we lost big to Bayern and we turned out alright after that.

Absolutely not
They might have had a chance to sneak a victory at home when cazorla was fit but without him the midfield is a shambles
it'll be hard, but i think barca can win this with a bit of luck
>>65732217
giroud will literally rape all those soft cunts in the barca defense desu
It'll be close but I'm sure Nicklas Bendtner will beat Mascherano.
>it's an everyone overrates Barcelona because of their front 3 thread
I love these
Their defence, midfield and keeper are weaker than any other time we have played them
They're slow and don't keep possession like they did 4/5 years ago, and more importantly we have Cech.
Messi has never scored against him, bellerin will completely wrek nerman and Suarez will be diving all over the place, only to miss the penalty that he'll somehow convince the ref to win.
How often do barca come me up against a keeper of cechs class? Oh that's right, never. There's not a single world class keeper in leliga, both Madrid sides don't even have good keepers.
How often do they come up against someone as good as ozil? Or as fast as Walcott? Or someone with as much quality and a point to prove like sanchez?
Easy 3-0 home win.
The barca and sp butthurt will be glorious.

At that point Barca would win like 5-0 and fuck it all up though.
what is mertesacker just injured one of the front 3
he would absolutely destroy this team
>>65732653
Drogba
I predict a valiant effort from Arsenal but some dodgy decisions (especially since Suarez,Messi and especially Neymar love some good ol' diving) and comedy defending will hand Barcelona the win on a silver platter.

arsenal always play quite well in the first leg then lose the second
and despite the obvious delusion in here, cech will help alot compared to previous years
>>65733057
so will suarez and neymar
Arsenal have the players to win if they play on the counter, buy unfortunately literally none of these players are on form ATM (Sanchez, Walcott and basically the entire defense). If they played like they did against man u they'd have a chance, but I think there's about a 5% chance of that happening.
I predict a comfy 3-1 for Barca and then Arsenal manage a brave 2-2 at the nou camp or something
Bellerin with a 94th minute winner.

You mean, can Barca score 10 in a single CL game at this stage? I believe they can.

It's like that guy you really hate at work/school/uni lubing himself up to take a tank up the ass.
barca will tear us to shreds, there's no two ways about it honestly. they're superior in every area except goalie, and then maybe ozil and ratikic are pretty level at this point
0-1 barca
boring game
arsenal winning, im gonna quintuple my money with this bet
>>65731884
these two scenarios are exactly how it will play out:
scenario A. Arsenal get btfo in the first leg and salvage a "muh brave draw" in the second leg and everyone will praise them for their character.
scenario B. Arsenal will somehow scrape a win in the first leg like they did against bayern but then get completely btfo in the second leg.
This is just a thread full of false flagging

My only hope to survive is to get mildly drunk, kick back and enjoy this.

Arsenal need to press with a high line for a chance to win. Teams let them have possession all the time and Barca end up winning. The last team to beat them were Celta Vigo and they won because they pressed with a high line.
>>65733920
2 of their goals were mistakes from Pique in a highline though, and Arsenal will almost certainly sit deep with Mertesacker.
>>65733920

And order Welbz to press on like a madman the whole time (and take him off for the HT with fresh Girpoo pressing on the whole second half like a madman).
Also, use the two remaining subs to set in two fresh players around 55-60th minute to keep the pressure high and fast.
OH WAIT! It's Wenger we're talking about, so he probably start Walcott and OX and keep them trotting for the whole 90 minutes (+ extra) and not subbing anyone. Fuckk.

Arsenal won't be able to do this all match long and the only real instance where they've been able to do this with enough efficacy to beat a team like barcelona has been when their front trio consisted of ramsey + walcott + sanchez which won't be the case tomorrow. Basically from a tactical viewpoint at least, Arsenal are screwed no matter what they do
>>65732295
>barca's midfield is worse
Stop with this meme, busquets + rakitic + iniesta is probably the best, most balanced midfield trio in the world right now. Arsenal would have an advantage on set pieces against that defense but it's funny how rarely teams are actually able to take advantage of this against barca

Confirmed for not watching a single Arsenal match all season
>>65734504
I'm pretty sure Wenger will say
>you two, take Messi, problem solved
When usually, when he has been "stopped", is by collective work of 3 or 4 players. But yes, you watch many Arsenal games. You just have to learn something about football now.
>>65734536
Whethere they will or not remains to be seen but yes those two are good enough in theory to stop him, or at least significantly diminish the threat he provides, unlike the vast majority of defenders in Spain. The key to Barca's victory will be Neymar and Suarez not Messi tomorrow
Why do Arsenal have to ruin everything
>>65731899
>Giroud is a literal god in football
I wish it's true but nope
>>65734574
That has to be bait so I'll leave you with your stories
>>65734574
no, they're not. Every time he had a bad game on a big stage is when the entire team worked together to deny him the ball in his favourite positions and didn't allow him dangerous passing angles once he got the ball while providing enough cover to account for his dribbling.
It has always been a collective effort by 9-10 players, not "you two, mark Messi"
>>65734388
Rakashit has been v poor recently and same with iniesta, gives the ball away so much
Is Barcelona, dare I say it, about to get absolutely annihilated?
>>65734591
The best examples of "successful" Messi-marking have been Besic against him in the world cup and Pepe when he played DM in the 2011 CL semi finals. Obviously neither worked out in the end through either Messi magic or refball but the point remains that despite Messi being the GOAT he can be successively marked by one or two defenders just like every other player
>>65734591
funny enough this is what koscielny himself is saying, that it'll be a team effort if they are to stop messi

Like I said, besic slipped up exactly one time during the game and let in a fucking blooter from Messi. And Pepe's red card was 100% refball. Messi only exploded and scored those two goals as a result of that

this game will be decided by arsenal's strikers "clinicality", I have no doubts about that. Barça's defence is bad, there's no questioning that. There WILL be space for counters and through balls like it or not, so if they manage to not waste their chances Arselel might get away with a solid win here. On the other hand, if they do waste all or most of their chances, it's very likely MSN will pound the living shit out of them unless Cech is in god mode.
>>65737090
>Barça's defence is bad, there's no questioning that.
this is a meme. their defence is top 5 in the world. They had two bad games in September and concede an occasional silly goal when Mathieu/Vermealen play but they're rock solid otherwise
>>65737119
not bad, but arse can definitely get a few chances. if their finishing is on point they could nick a draw, I really have a tough time imagining them winning though.
>>65737263

It doesn't mean anything. They can get a few chances against anyone.
>>65737404

>refball
it sucks massive dicks that you know even if you are slightly better, you will be fucked over by the ref because Barca should be better than anyone. IMO that alone is a huge advantage, no one really dares to play their game against them anymore, if they would just edge it, prepare for refball, better to park the bus
