You scored an flukey own goal and had a shot off target, yeah you were all over them alright. It was only a matter of time before you were once again camped in your own half after you scored whether you had 10 or 11 men on the pitch.

Yes, and if Messi had scored the four or five chances he had, if Adriano and Afellay scored the chances they had and so on, then Wenger would have been shown up and Barcelona would have walked into the next round by a huge margin.
I think Wenger got the tactics at the begining right by the way, Barcelona were just too good though.
