This is looking like a war of attrition. Arsenal was extremely lucky. That was a soft penalty, but the referee IMO made questionable calls on both clubs. Arsenal at least salvaged some pride at home. But Barca on balance are just awesome. I won't rule out a thrashing by Barca at the NC, but last night's results shows that anything is possible in football.Farsiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12900764259260461985noreply@blogger.com
