Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas insists they can beat Barcelona at the Nou Camp next week without him. Cesc is out for the season with a broken leg suffered in the Champions League quarterfinal first-leg draw this week.

He told the London Evening Standard: "The team can definitely do it without me. Barcelona have lost big players like Puyol and Pique, so I don't think it is the same without them because they move the ball well and are so confident. We will see, it will be tough but we can make it.

"It was a great comeback - we were dead at 2-0. You could never imagine we would come back in the first half because we never saw the ball at all.

"It was very tough but even more in the second half because they scored two great goals. After that, we showed great spirit to come back and not everyone can do it against a team like them. It says a lot about us because I think this is the best team I have faced in my life.

"Theo made such a difference. He got behind them and created a lot of problems. I think he was our best player."
