UEFA Football: Barcelona vs Arsenal

FC Barcelona wants to confirm Wednesday qualifying for the quarterfinals of the Champions League Football in the second leg of the knockout final against Arsenal. The first leg 0-2 in London gives a great advantage and a wide margin Luis Enrique, who despite being a good opponent at the first meeting of the tie knew finally open the can of Arsenal and achieve a result even comfortable for the second leg. Wisely, because Arsenal also created some danger in that game, but with confidence and favoritism facing Barca this shock must give way to the quarterfinals.

There is also a clear difference of so moments between the teams. While Barcelona continues its triumphal march in the Spanish League with a wide difference from Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, and has since the final of the Copa del Rey in his pocket, Arsenal seems to sink back into a small crisis after almost say goodbye to their chances of winning the Premier League, just as this year's biggest rivals, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City ... they seemed to be further away from its best. Well, there are already 11 points handicap which has Arsenal with respect to Leicester, the surprising leader of the Premier League Football.

Besides these different times, there is also difference in the losses of either team, as Arsenal really arrives decimated by absences. The Barcelona loses Pique through suspension, but Arsenal come to Barcelona with doubt until the last minute defender Laurent Koscielny and safe low of Petr Cech, Aaron Ramsey, Santi Cazorla, Jack Wilshere and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Nevertheless, Wenger rely on a surprise at the Camp Nou not to fall out for the sixth consecutive year in the eighth round.

Barça, the reigning Champions, facing the tie in clear superiority over his opponent, and after an unstoppable path 37 games unbeaten. To all this the power that has always shown the Barcelona against Arsenal in the Champions League adds (already eliminated in the seasons 2010 and 2011, plus the end of 2006), where Barca are a scourge to the club London.

On the lawn, coach Luis Enrique Martinez will only sanction down Gerard Pique, while you can use the Turkish Arda Turan, who has already served the punishment dragged from his time at Atletico Madrid. Mathieu seems the most logical choice to accompany the Argentine Javier Mascherano back.

Go ahead, and after gambling give minutes to many players, the presence of the headlines reads like normal for a game of this level, with a core trio Rakitic, Busquets and Iniesta, and the trident before that, he led by Messi, return to the starting lineup after Suarez rested in Saturday's game (Getafe) and Neymar suspended for the previous (Eibar). To date, the attacking trio takes 103 goals this season.
