According to some stats, Messi never scored a goal in England, so it would be great for Arsenal if Messi couldn't score a goal against them tonight. An Arsenal PK would be great, I can't see Arsenal winning at Camp Nou... Tonight is their only chance to go to the next stage.

#4What does it matter? If Messi doesn't care Pedro or Villa will. There are more players in a team. Barca won't lose. If Arsenal attacks Barca will get enough space to kill them. If Arsenal defends, which they can't, barca kills them also.Comment -

#5I would never bet on a match counting on Messi not to score. That is not a wise wager. Messi is an unbelievable player with more talent than any 2 Arsenal defenders could dream about. I would not advise anyone to pick against Barcelona. If you must bet on this game I suggest you take the over or Barcelona to win.Comment -

#7I dont think that Messi lack of goals playing in england, matters that much. Dont forget that if he doesnt, Pedro or Villa will, after all, Messi is not only the top goal scorer this season, he also has way over 20 assists (could be closer to 30). He has matured a lot, he doesnt play just for him like he did a few years ago. Now he is a team player, he plays and create plays and situation for other ones too.Comment -

#8Why should a Arsenal defender dream about the talent of Messi? Arsenal defenders are much more talented then Messi in the defensive part of the game. Two things which you simply can't compare. I would say Pique has more talent then the Arsenal defenders could ever dream of. I agree with you that its not wise to bet against Barca. Barca play with the same mentality of Arsenal (attacking) but they are just two or three classes better.Comment -

#9I think Messi might break that record tonight. Arsenal need to find a way to score at home, they know goals are raining in at Nou so they need to balance offense and defense.Comment -

#11Arsenal should find a way so that Xavi and Iniesta won't be able to get the ball most of the time. Just as Holland did in the final, its the only way how you could have a slight chance of winning against decades best team. When these two guys won't be able to get the ball, it will be harder for Messi to be able to get in possession upfront also. But then ....its Arsenal, they simply can't play how Inter did a year ago.
Arsenal got no chance over 2 games.Comment -

#13he hasnt scored in england beacuse the english based defender always mark him out of the game and so he does barely nothing. i dont think he'll score tonight either, i hope clichy has a great game. I want arsenal to win and their best chance is at the emirates so i expect them to play out of their minds. Is puyol back for barca? they'll need him to deal with arsenals attaking talent, van persie has been in red hot form. Also i think walcott pace will destroy their left back all night.Comment -

#15Van Persie and Nasri are both great Arsenal players, they have nothing to lose tonight as Arsenal is an underdog. It's the Blaugrana who will be under pressure. The problem with Arsenal is that they lack of experience in Champion's league... appart from that they have plenty of talented players in the team (Fabregas, Van persie, Nasri, etc...). I like Barça but I'm fed up to always see the same teams winning the champion's league. I want some change to make next Champion's league more interesting than usual.Comment -

agree with you completely... but if you check, Barca only won the CL like 2 times in recent years and they were 1 goal away from potentially winning last year... until their current players get too old, they will always be contenders and Messi staying forever doesnt hurt... I will be on Arsenal DC today not just because I think its the right decision, but also due to what you mentioned... GLComment -

#18When I was saying I'm fed up to always see the same teams to win, I didn't talk only about Barça, but Real Madrid, Inter Milan or other popular teams, I like underdogs like Dynamo Kiev or PSV hendoven etc... it makes the competition look interesting. I'll be on Arsenal side tonight even if I like Barça as well.
I would love to see those teams being able to compete as well...Comment -

#21Its going to be a hard fought game. Messi is an absolute animal on the pitch, while Robin Van Persie is in the best form I think he has ever been in. If Arsenal is going to tie this game, they are going to want a 0-0 tie, so they can win the Aggregate in Camp Nou on March 8th. GO GUNNERS!Comment -

#22Messi didn't score a goal and there are no foreign club who won at Emirate Stadium in England. I was very satisfied with this game and made some good money, however, I won't bet on Arsenal when they will go to Camp Nou, at least, not now, I'll wait to get some information. If Arsenal want to win at Camp Nou, they have to satisfy themselves with a draw.... I don't think they'll be able to score more than one goal there...Comment -

#25Count yourself lucky, Barca should have made 3 or 4 already in first half. Nothing to do with great capping, but with luck, that happens sometimes, take your win and don't talk about it. Arsenal got no chance in Camp Nou. But I was right with my prediction that if Messi doesn't score Villa or Pedro will. People are too much concentrated one 1 goalscorer in a Barca team where most of the guys are able to get a goal.Comment -

#32Even if Messi had some occasions to score goals, the results is that he never score a goal on the England field. Arsenal had some occasions to score more goals but the result is that they only score 2 goals. People won't remenber the fact you had occasion to score a goal, they will only remenber you if you score a goal and make your team win the game.Comment
