Arsenal are chasing the Premier League and the FA Cup back home in England. They'd dearly love to win the Champions League for the first time too. The Gunners may well qualify for the competition year in year out but have only ever reached one final and they lost to tonight's opponents Barcelona. This season has seen Arsenal showing their good and bad sides. Their Champions League campaign began with defeats to Dinamo Zagreb and Olympiakos before stunning Bayern Munich in a 2-0 home win. Their bad side returned with a 5-1 loss to Munich away but they won their last two games to finish second in the group. Which Arsenal will turn up on Tuesday is the big question?  Barcelona are worthy favourites to retain the Champions League. They are six points clear at the top of La Liga and their awesome strike force of Suarez, Messi and Neymar are in top form once again, especially Suarez who already has three hat-tricks in 2016. Barcelona aren't always high scorers on their travels so Arsenal do have a chance here. I just don't think their defence will be able to cope with Barcelona so I go for the Spanish side to win this match.
