Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Sat, 03/20/2010 - 06:52

Barcelona sports chief Txiki Beguiristain says they're excited about facing Arsenal in the Champions League quarterfinals.

Beguiristain does not expect either side to curb their attacking instincts.

"It's a great tie," Beguiristain said.

"We are two teams who don't shut up shop and play long ball football, and this tie will be nice for the fans.

"It will be a good spectacle and we'll see if we are a little stronger than them. In any case, the best news is knowing that we will be playing the return leg at home. We are strong at home and we've shown that."

i would not be suprised if arsenal win. They have no pressure. Barca have to prove themselves while arsenal are just starting to show what they are made of. I believe that are will dominate possession, they player the ball faster, so i dont think Barca will control midfield like they normally do. one problem for arsenal is messi,but if we control thre ball with know sloppy play and clichy has a good game, which he is more than capable of doing, messi might have a bit of a problem. i think i will be pretty even. but i reckon arsenal will step up and prove themselves in this tie.
arsenal for champions of europe:)
