Arsenal boss Wenger: Current Barcelona best I have seen

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits the current Barcelona are the best team he has ever seen.

But the Frenchman still thinks his men can topple the Catalan giants, even without skipper Cesc Fabregas and Co.

Wenger, whose side salvaged a draw 2-2 despite last week's Barcelona master-class, said: "This is the best team I've ever seen and the best team I've ever faced.

"They play at a higher pace collectively and I don't think we have ever been dominated so much at home. Certainly Cesc hasn't!

"He's used to having the ball. I think there was the psychological influence of us being so used to having the ball, then suddenly we didn't have the ball.

"The impression was deeper on the players than it should have been.

"I think we have to make some things different on Tuesday to make sure that it doesn't happen again."
