Arsenal ace Andrey Arshavin admits he's Barcelona mad.
The Russia international was again linked with Barca this week after the Treble champs were beaten to his signature in January.
Arshavin told the Telegraph: "I like Barcelona because it doesn't matter who is coach, which player they have, they always play offensive football. Always.
"For two or three years, Barcelona did not have a good period, losing 2-6 or 7-4. I liked it! They attacked! Probably for results it is ---- but for football it is fantastic! When you are a human who likes football you love Barcelona.
"I did not have idols growing up. There was no one person I bent my knee to. But I loved Romario, Ronaldo [the Brazilian] and Stoichkov, players who played for Barcelona and who can decide a game by themselves. Just take the ball and run like Ronaldo! Run through the whole team! I try to. It's my skill. That's why coaches like me.''
He particularly likes the current Catalan team.
"Barcelona show now you can play beautiful football and get results. Of course, I supported Barcelona against Man United in the [Champions League] final [in Rome last May].''
Does he dream of playing for Barcelona?
"It's difficult. I am just here nine months. I have done nothing for Arsenal. Football here is perfect. It's the best.''
