I think this game in particular showed how easy the players in the Spanish league go down. The referee had an absolute stinker (and at least one linesman) one minute there would be a foul for nothing, then when it should of been it wasn`t.
Barcelona were awesome at the start but IMO Arsenal made them look so good by playing right into there hands. Most of the times iv`e seen Barcelona struggle is when you let them have the ball up to a point then counter them. Just flying at them allows them to play it back then utilize the full-backs who are constantly bombing down the wings. This is also why i think Walcott had a big impact on the game as he stoped Maxwell going forward as much.
As for the second leg, reckon Barcelona will crush Arsenal...
