Arsenal v Barcelona
Uploaded by imorenball. - Check out more sports and extreme sports videos.
Want to dedicate this post to Arsenal FC and this game. Free flowing, breathtaking football. (:
Highlights:
- Barcelona had 23 shots (10 on target) compared to Arsenal's 6 (3 on target).
- Arsenal are playing on home ground
- Barcelona are the reigning European champions
- Arsenal captain Fabregas (23 yrs old this year), is a former Barcelona player in his youth days
- Barcelona striker Henry (who is the all time leading scorer for Arsenal with 226 goals), played for Arsenal and well loved by the fans. Emotional night.
- Arsenal have lost to Chelsea and Man Utd (the 2 strongest in the English league besides themselves), and lost convincingly. True underdogs going into this game.
- 1st half possession of the ball: Barcelona (est. 70%), Arsenal (est. 30%). How many teams go to Arsenal's home ground and have such dominance.
- In the end, Arsenal had 3 players (Gallas, Fabregas, Arshavin) injured, Barcelona had their 2 central defenders (Pique, Puyol) missing out on the 2nd leg in Spain.
- As it turns out, Barcelona took a commanding 2-0 lead before Arsenal made a comeback.
And to Nou Camp, Barcelona for the 2nd leg... Barca on home soil. No shame to lose, really... but can i hope?
