Bendtner insists he can fire Arsenal past Barcelona

Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner insists he's the man to fire them past Champions League opponents Barcelona.

Having recovered from a long-standing groin injury, the 23-year-old believes he is better equipped than ever to worry the Catalans.

"Can I lead the line against Barcelona? Of course," said Bendtner. "I am now getting back to where I belong and there are still improvements to come.

"To score again there is the dream scenario. We have to take our chances because Barcelona always score when they play at home. I feel that in the last month I have definitely improved. That is due to my injury problems being completely finished.

"Last season I played for a bit when I was half-injured but there was no-one else, so I did my best and got through it. It has taken me a long time to get back where I am but I am pleased with my progress and that I have got back to playing the way I want to play."
