Arsenal vs Barcelona Arsenal's Champions League hopes were extinguished as goals from Neymar, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi sent the Gunners to a 3-1 defeat at the Nou Camp on Wednesday night. It was a bit too little, too late for the Gunners who mostly played well in the round of 16 second leg tie, but were outdone by Barca's potent attacking trio to lose 5-1 on aggregate. The second half saw Sanchez and Iwobi linking up as the teenager rifled a low shot into the side of the net and the Arsenal pressure paid off six minutes after the restart. Sanchez was again involved as he cut the ball back for Elneny, who hit the ball first time and fired it past the leaping Ter Stegen into the top corner.

The weekend could prove pivotal as the title race enters the home stretch and ahead of the action, Sky Sports' Thierry Henry gives his thoughts on where the tussles between the four title rivals could be won and lost... This is no disrespect to Leicester because they deserve to be where they are, but a friend of mine recently asked me what I thought the score will be at the Emirates and I had to think about it. That already says a lot. Last year, you don't think about the result because Arsenal should win. But now it is the total opposite. Everything about the game suits the visitors - the way they play, their approach to the game, their counter-attacking style....

Arsenal Fc Arsène Wenger spoke to the media after his side beat Burnley in the FA Cup fourth round. Here's a full transcript of what he said: on the game… We needed to work. At the start it looked like it would be easy because we had a lot of the ball and good opportunities around the box. When it came back to 1-1, it became a different game. I think we were a bit shocked and they gained belief. I saw them against Derby and I could see that this is a very efficient, strong team with no weakness. Everything they do is based on efficiency and they’ve shown that today. In the second half, I don’t think they created a lot. They had one or two opportunities on the counter-attack but we managed to win the game and we looked quite in control at the end. We needed to keep our focus, our urgency until the last minute.

Nacho Monreal  A Look Back At The Rise Of This Spaniard For all the compliments directed towards Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez, there is another member of this Arsenal team who has quickly become a crowd favorite and that is Nacho Monreal.

Arsenal recently confirmed that left-back Nacho Monreal has penned a new long-term deal with the Premier League leaders.
