i dont think there will be that many goals because of how rock solid arsenals defence is and there gonna come out with more confidence than barcas because of the clean sheet record in the champs league, they have not done this for no reason and have done it against juventus who are just as class as barcelona so my opinion on this game is arsenal 2-1 barcelona in a close strong game.

Barcalona had clean sheets too.

gilberto cant hold down his fellow brazilian ronaldinho in the midfield, and the ronaldinho - eto'o - messi connection will win it for barca!

I don't know about clean sheets. I heard that Ronaldinho keeps his sheets dirty.

im not saying that arsenal will shut out barca im saying they will have moe confidence in the back because of there record. this game might go into extra time to decide who wins or maybe a penalty shoot out. I think barca will control the game but arsenal will keep with them all of the 90 minutes and win in either extra time or penalties. is barcas goaly victor valdes still or is there someone else in goal for them?

I think Valdez played yesterday. Also, ronaldo11. What is equally poor is that picture of Henry impersonating Hulk Hogan. What's the word around Soho?

This will be Arsenal's first real home game in about 10 years. I'll give Arsenal the edge in this one.

barca has the players with the big game experience. sure arsenal has some experienced veterans in henry, pires, ljungberg... but that arsenal back line has NEVER been in a game with this much importance on it in their lives. Barcelona has the more experienced world cup players and the best brazilian/player in the world. However the home advantage for Arsenal will help them because half of the team is french, but not enough to stop barca. Prediction...
Barcelona - 3 Arsenal - 2
Messi, Eto'o, and Ronaldinho for Barca 2 for Henry for the gunners.

I say Arsenal, even though they are underdogs, I think their young guns will play very well like they did against Aston Villa in a 5-0 thrashing where they looked like the arsenal from 2 years ago, Juventus, and Villareal. Plus they have an underated defense, that has been playing well as of late, and I feel that Barca lacks a bit on defense, especially in Van Bronkhorst. I may be wrong but I think it will be a fantastic game.
Arsenal 1-0 Barcelona

After watching the Barca vs Milan game on TV an hour ago, im going as far to say 3-1 for Barca. Barca isnt lacking in defense, believe me. They have two world class, EXPERIENCED players in Marques and Puyol as their central defenders with Gio Van Bronkhorst and Bellettini (sp?) on the wings. Bronkhorst is probably their "weakest" defender, you are right, but he is def class enough to slow down henry and then puyol/marques will come and clean up the scraps. Then of course watching Ronaldinho demolish AC Milans midfield/defense was something special. Eto'o is also in great form, having a few great chances which were saved by magnificent dida. So now my prediction after seeing the Barca vs. AC Milan is 3 - 1 BARCA!
