Chelsea boss Ancelotti delighted for Arsenal after Barcelona win

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti was delighted for Arsenal after their victory over Barcelona.

And the Italian reckons the Gunners can complete the Champions League job at the Nou Camp.

"Barcelona played a fantastic game on Wednesday but so did Arsenal. Wenger did a fantastic job. Arsenal were a little lucky, but the way Wenger set out to play against Barcelona, in my opinion, was correct. They were fantastic on the counter attack, and in the end they won," he told the Daily Mail.

Arsenal were so impressive, says Ancelotti, that he can see them eliminating Barcelona at the Nou Camp.

"It's not so easy for Barcelona now because Arsenal are very dangerous on the counter attack,' he says. 'With (Theo) Walcott and (Samir) Nasri. Very good."
