The Barça, like a "compacter" to chambers with a trident of luxury (3-1)

The FC Barcelona began "biting" from the beginning in a Camp Nou humid -rained to raudales- against the Arsenal, going out very intense in all the facets of the game and winning to the "gunners" in almost each balloon divided, in addition to starring some that another approach without too much danger to the area of Ospina, headline because of the drop of Petr Cech. The ones of Wenger, in any case, no achantaron and in fact had of the first clear arrival of the party to the area of Marc-André Ter Stegen. A good combination between Alexis Sánchez and Bellerín finished in a pass in depth to Welbeck, that was the one who shot too diverted, causing a non-existent corner for surprise of Javier Mascherano, Jordi Alba and the rest of defenders culés that found next to the played. The group londinense went out intense and concentrated, with the will to break the series of so only a victory in the last seven parties in all the official competitions.

The Barça, simultaneously, went to the his. With the step of the minutes was doing increasingly with the possession of the spherical, rondando the inmediaciones of the area "gunners" and beginning "fly" in the game of walls and connections, especially Messi, Suárez, Neymar and Iniesta, that associated as they are used to to do it in the big occasions. Andrés Iniesta was the best of the FC Barcelona during the first minutes, distributing the balloon with criterion, generating spaces with touch subtle and endowing to the team blaugrana of a big depth with the passes to his mates of attack. Sergio Busquets, besides, also gave a chair of recoveries and technical details. However, once again it was the Arsenal the one who, in the minute 10 of party, was more direct of face to goal. A theft of balloon "gunner" in the centre of the field caused a counterattack in which Mesut Özil, with a shot from out of the area, was about to to première the marker in the Camp Nou.

The Barça tightens and Neymar marks the difference

The party was beautiful and very contested, with poquísimas lacking and hardly interruptions. Alexis Sánchez and Bellerín gave depth to the right band of the Arsenal, but Mathieu was very attentive during the first chamber of hour of meeting to give coverage to Jordi Alba every time that the Barcelona side found descolocado. In the minute 15, Mohammed Elneny was the one who went back it to try from out of the area, leaving also the too diverted shot as to upset to a Ter Stegen very very placed low sticks. As of habit, Leo Messi delayed his position to receive in the zone of means and create game from here, but during the first stretch of party the good defensive placing of the Arsenal prevented that the Argentinian star could desbordar. This yes, in the minute 17 "The Flea" could mark the first goal of the party.

A pass milimétrico in depth of Neymar Jr found to Leo Messi that controlled of excellent form in the interior of the area, puncturing the balloon with the left boot and afterwards shooting point-blank, although the ball found the body of Ospina and left to corner. In this same kickoff of corner, Jeremy Mathieu finished practically only in the interior of the area, but his cabeceo went above the crossbar. So only two minutes afterwards would arrive the first so much of the FC Barcelona against the Arsenal in the Camp Nou. A theft of Sergio Busquets in the centre of the field served to combine with Iniesta, that saw quickly to Luis Suárez that, by his part, put a good assistance for Neymar Jr. The Brazilian star defined to perfection against the Colombian Ospina, the one who in spite of the fast exit could not cover the space by where the "11" coló the balloon.

Game of counterattack by both edicts

1-0 and the eliminatory practically cleared for the interests of the FC Barcelona, that devoted to control the possession with criterion and to distribute the ball of a side to another, in search of the distraction and of desordenar to the defence "gunner" to annotate the second and finish to sentence already the pass to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Neymar Jr, for the moment, already had marked his third goal in the present edition of the UEFA Champions League 2015-16, an important goal so much for the team as for him same, reencontrándose little by little with his best version after some last weeks in which there was not state too lucky of face to the goal, although it materialised a "doublet" against the Getafe the Saturday. The Arsenal began to presionar up and to split in two, thing that took advantage of even more the Barça to come up and follow looking for the second. Rakitic And Jordi Alba desataron the applauses of the Camp Nou after several details of quality, included an autopase with pipe of Alba on Héctor Bellerín, the one who was suffering constantly in front of the tackled of the carrilero Barcelona and of Neymar Jr.

Precisely the Brazilian star shot from out of the area after a good pass of Jordi Alba, but the shot raso was too centred and did not cause more problems of the expected for Ospina, that cut across the balloon. Passed half hour of meeting, the Barcelona had put siege to the goal "gunner" and was very comfortable on the lawn, creating clear opportunities of goal without ceasing and putting in difficulties to the defence of the Arsenal. The ones of Wenger looked for some occasion to the contragolpe, but Mascherano, Mathieu and Alves were very attentive for desbaratarlas all. In the minute 35 Danny Welbeck tripped with his own leg and starred a "piscinazo" clamoroso, but luckily Sergei Karasev did not hammer and did not signal penalti, although it neither decided to admonish to the English player. In the last 10 minutes of the first-half, nevertheless, went the Arsenal the one who more danger caused. First a shot of Elneny that was repelled by Mathieu, and afterwards a finish of head of Alexis Sánchez that it did not take goal by very little. Few minutes afterwards, Danny Welbeck confined from the banza left after Iwobi surpassed by speed to Dani Alves, but again the shot of the British forward left diverted. Before it arrived the rest, the most stood out novelty was the compulsory change of Flamini by injury, leaving the place to Coquelin in the centre of the field.

The Arsenal goes out to by all and Elneny empata

In the second half, went the Arsenal the team that went out with more intensity on the lawn. An attack "gunner" finish with a shot of Iwobi that was repelled by the defence to corner, but the reality is that the meeting found in a situation in the qeu the Barcelona seemed to be expecting an opportunity to the contragolpe to finish to "kill" the party. The tactics, however, did not go out well in principle to the ones of Luis Enrique. And it is that a played by the right band of the Arsenal, with a big progression of Alexis Sánchez, finished with an assistance to Mohammed Elneny, the one who at first and from out of the area starred a powerful and placed shot that brushed the square of the goal of Ter Stegen, crashing against the meshes and putting the tie in the electronic. The goal "gunner" had given life surprisingly to the eliminatory, and this produced that the Arsenal came even more up, trying by all the means sign two goals more than served him to achieve the traced back.

The FC Barcelona had lost the control of the party and now was to favour of the intentonas of the Arsenal, with Alexis and Özil being the greater dangers of the group "gunner" to the edge of the area culé. In spite of everything, in the minute 56 of party a combination of goldsmithing between Neymar Jr and Leo Messi finish with a shot raso and dry of the Argentinian, in front of which Ospina reacted very very throwing to the floor and diverting the danger, that finish to be repelled finally by the defence of the group londinense. Three minutes afterwards, in a counterattack of the ones of Wenger, Welbeck remained in a one against one with Ter Stegen, but fortunately Mascherano arrived like an exhalation in the last moment to interpose in the shot of the English forward and divert it to corner, winning all an ovation of the Camp Nou and hurting also of a bad gesture during the action.

Celestial volley of Suárez to kill the eliminatory

Two minutes later was Leo Messi the one who went back it to try, with a powerful shot from out of the area that left slightly above the crossbar of the goal of Ospina. The party was a taking and daca by part of the two teams, with arrivals of both edicts to the contrary goal and practically without game in the centre of the field. And it is that the Arsenal had carried the meeting to his terrain, converting it more in a crash of Premier League that of Champions. In the minute 62, a shot of Alexis Sánchez went back to be repelled by the Barcelona defence, with the played finish in corner. In this same kickoff of corner, Iwobi was about to to mark, but finished offside. The Barcelona tried pausar the game, but did not do fault because Luis Suárez was the one who accelerated the hearts of all the Camp Nou, doing grow the decibels with the public shouting "Uruguayan, Uruguayan!".

The Arsenal, that did not give by defeated, starred a new arrival to the area of Ter Stegen to the played following that finalised with a shot to the stick of Mohammed Elneny, showing the Arab player a very good capacity of shot. Luis Enrique decided to move the bench and plant to a more physical player -although also technical- as it is Sergi Roberto, whereas Andrés Iniesta went to the bench ovacionado by all the Camp Nou, and yielding the bracelet of captain to Leo Messi.
