Barcelona have a quarter-final spot within reach when they host Arsenal in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 clash. Join The Roar from 6:45am (AEDT) for live scores.
Looking at Barca’s star power, it is hard to deny they are the best team in the world at the moment.
In their past five games, Barcelona have scored 17 times and only conceded twice.
Coming off a 6-nil domination over Getafe, Luis Enrique’s men have been dominating sides all over the pitch consistently all season.
Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez are all set to start against the Gunners, their link up gave Arsene Wenger’s men significant problems in their first clash at the Emirates.
Once thought to be title contenders, after recent results any hope of a championship now seems out of reach for Arsenal.
After crashing out of the FA Cup in a 2-1 defeat to Watford, and now sitting 11 points behind top-of-the-table Leicester City in the Premier League with just six games remaining, the Gunners are at a low point.
Arsenal enter the Nou Camp chasing a two-goal aggregate, and Barcelona will have the comfort of knowing that they also possess the away-goal advantage.
Messi scored twice in the second half to give Barcelona the 2-nil win at the Emirates in February.
Prediction
Arsenal have been in poor form all over the pitch, and Barcelona seem to be getting stronger and stronger. If Arsenal fail to remain structured, they will be in for another long night.
Barcelona 4 – 0 Arsenal
