Barcelona fullback Alves confident overturning Arsenal lead

Barcelona fullback Daniel Alves insists they're still confident of overturning Arsenal's lead in their Champions League tie.

Barca will host the second-leg 2-1 down.

"We are coming away with a bitter-sweet taste, the same as last year. The first half was very nice for the spectators, but for us it was annoying because we had our chances," said the Brazil international, who insists there is no need to panic despite the defeat.

"We need to be super-positive. The tie isn't over," he added in AS.

"We're fine, there's no need to ring the alarm bells. This is Europe and winning games is hard. There is still the return leg and we hope to be a little better."
