Words cannot describe how good a game of football this was. It was an emotional roller-coaster for Arsenal fans from start to finish: from the prolonged onslaught that Barcelona produced in the first half to our miraculously brave comeback which was completed when Cesc Fabregas hammered home his spot-kick. 2-2 it ended and although we [...]
Arsenal 2 (Walcott 69, Fabregas pen 85) Barcelona 2 (Ibrahimovic 46, 59) Manuel Almunia – Should have stayed on his line for the opening goal of the match, however without him it could have been a lot worse.
