The last time I looked, Arsenal hadn't signed Tom Cruise. They might need to though because traveling to Barcelona after losing their home leg 2-0 and hoping to qualify looks like a mission impossible if ever there was one. The past three seasons have seen Arsenal eliminated at this stage and it'll be a miracle if they get into the quarter finals. Barcelona dominated possession at the Emirates but it took two late Lionel Messi goals to give the defending European champions the 2-0 lead. Arsenal haven't got a great away European record that they can show us to indicate they might be able to win here. Losses to Dinamo Zagreb and a 5-1 hammering at Bayern Munich hardly inspire confidence nor do Premier League defeats at West Brom and Southampton. Barcelona just keep on winning games and scoring plenty of goals. On Saturday they beat Getafe 6-0 at home making it 15 in the last three league games,  Three home Champions League games this season have already seen them score 11 times conceding just twice. I go for a Barcelona win here on a -1 handicap as they continue their bid to win the Champions League for the second year in a row.
