Barca are expected to come home and cruise to victory. They had chances to put the gunners away in the first leg and let them off the mat and in sports that almost always haunts teams. Barca won the champs league a few years ago and last year they were put out by a tough inter team that found ways to shut messi out. This arsenal squad is on the cusp of coming thru this year with a trophy ( most likely the premier league) and a result in the nou camp will give them huge confidence. They played wonderful football in the first leg and got the 2 two goals they needed to have the small edge in this encounter. Barca are very suspect without pique and puyol and arsenal will take adv of that at every opportunity. Yes arsenal are not the best in defence but they have a good record defensively this year and that isnt by mistake. Expect the gunners to pressure down the wings to create space in the middle of the area and come thru with at least 1 goal. Arsenal will hold up Barca's midfield and look for the counter like they did in the first leg. It was starting to work very well in the first leg and more of the same can be expected in this leg. Most will expect the gunners to fold under the pressure but they wont go away. Barca are talking up a big game but they will fail to deliver and the questions will all be directed towards guardiola in the end. The gunners are in a great position here and an away goal will put this match to rest. Expect Barca to have a tough time scoring in this match. Im on the gunners and will play this match as follows
