Well, its the match that football fans around the world have been dying to see. It's beautiful football vs. beautiful football. It's Arsenal vs. Barcelona!
The last time these two exponents of the most attractive style of playing the game met each other was in the Final of the 2006 Champions League, and Thierry Henry was a legend at Arsenal. The world was deprived of a classic that day when Arsenal were reduced to 10-men very early on in the piece with Jens Lehmann being sent off for a poor error in judgement. Incidentally Barca put four goal past Lehmann earlier this week as they cruised into the quarters at the expense of Stuttgart. Arsenal bravely took the lead in the 2006 Final through Sol Campbell, who is amazingly enjoying his second innings for the Gunners, the first man ever re-recruited by Arsene Wenger, and given the injury to William Gallas has a real chance of facing the ridiculously daunting task of taking on Lionel Messi and co. at the prime age of 35!
