In the Champions League quarter final second leg clash between Arsenal and Barcelona, Samir Nasri and Andrey Arshavin will be key to win if Gunners want to get through to semis.On the absence of captain Fabregas and Alex Song all the pressure will be on these two aces.Injuries are not only worrying the English side but also the Catalans.
The Spanish side will miss their front man Zlatan Ibrahimovic due to injury who scored their 2 goals in the first leg and defenders Gerard Pique and Puyol due to suspension.In the first leg Arsenal was however able to draw the match on 2-2 after losing two away goals to Spanish side.But at home it will be very difficult to beat the defending champions Barcelona.
Arsenal will have tremendous pressure on them as,if they will not be able to score the Catalans will go through on the away goals.In the other hand they will try to gain revenge of the defeat they suffer in 2006 Champions League final.Looking at the form of both teams on their respective league it will be very difficult to say who will have an advantage.
Technicality-
Barcelona-The Spanish side is coached by Pepe Guardiola who will prefer 4-3-3 formation which is their basic formation.The game will be mainly controlled by the midfielders like Xavi,Iniesta and Dani Alves.But their front looks even more stronger then the English side as they have worlds best player Messi and Thiery Henry who will face his former club.
