On March 29, the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals kicked off, with Arsenal hosting Barcelona at the Emirates Stadium. The Emirates Stadium is full, and the Gunners fans are naturally looking forward to this game, and now they are more confident that the team can win this game, and they are even more confident that they can beat Barcelona again in this round of matchups.

Whether it is Arsenal or Barcelona, although they were in a war of words before the game, they also showed that they looked a little disdainful of each other; It's normal because they're all very good teams and of course they're more confident that they can win at the end. Although they are full of self-confidence at this time, although they are also constantly pointing out the possible shortcomings of their opponents; But when the game does come, both teams will give it their all, and at this point they won't have anything to do lightly, because they know that if they let up, it could be a disaster.

Both teams are the main players, they are both sending the strongest lineups, and it is not easy to win the game at this time; At this time, only by putting in more effort, then there is a chance to win the game, now they are a very good team, and they can also understand that the opponent's strength is not inferior to their own at all.

In Barcelona's starting lineup, goalkeeper Valdés; On the back line are Alves, Pique, Mascherano and Puyol; Xavi, Sergio Busquets, Keita and Andres Iniesta in midfield; Up front is a combination of Messi and Sanchez.

As for Arsenal, goalkeeper Szczesny; On the back line, from right to left, is a combination of Sagna, Mertesacker, Vermaelen and Alaba; The midfield is an iron quadrangular combination, and the midfielder Alexander Song. Striker Arteta. On the flanks are Cazorla and Walcott; As for Xiao Qing and Van Persie, they are naturally at the forefront.

Barcelona side. Abidal at the back missed the game after undergoing a liver transplant, while other left-back Adriano also suffered a muscle injury. Arsenal, on the other hand, seem to be in a better situation, with their main squad largely injury-free, which also makes Arsenal now more confident of winning the game, as Arsenal are now relatively more complete.

The two teams naturally sent the strongest combination at this time, although it was a two-round game, but at this time there really could not be any slack, once in the first leg of the game fell into passivity. Then in the second round of the decisive battle, it will naturally be more difficult. Especially when the opponent is a team like Barcelona, it is definitely not an easy thing to turn the tables when you are at a disadvantage.

The atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium is hot, and in the players' tunnel, the smell of gunpowder between the two teams is becoming more and more obvious; Meeting in the Champions League for three seasons in a row is definitely not an easy task, especially since this is in the knockout stage, when the winner is king and the loser is the loser; Barcelona have been underdogs against Arsenal in the last two seasons and now they want revenge and they are unwilling to continue to bear the humiliation that Arsenal have brought them.

This is the best time for Barça to take revenge. Now they have the opportunity to prove themselves once again; Although it claims to be the Cosmos team, it can't beat Arsenal. Then it doesn't deserve it, and now Barcelona have to do more to make a difference to their successive attacks by Arsenal in the first two seasons. Barcelona think they are the best team, the team that is the best at attacking and controlling the ball, but now they have Arsenal standing in front of them, and only by knocking down Arsenal can Barcelona prove that they are invincible in front of everyone, and only then can they prove that they are the best team.

As for Arsenal, they don't want their dynasty to be ended, the Gunners are hoping to move on and create a real dynasty, and what they need now is to overcome every opponent who wants to challenge them. Barcelona's quality is indeed very good, but for Arsenal's players it is just a vain attempt to provoke opponents, and for Arsenal, what they need is the heaviest blow to such a careerist.

Xiao Qing is very unhappy now, glancing at Busquets, Xiao Qing is also holding back his ruthlessness now, when the game starts, he will definitely teach Busquets a good lesson at the right time; Xiao Qing is definitely not a broad-minded person, as long as it does not affect the team's offense, Xiao Qing will definitely work hard to create more opportunities to play against Busquets, because then Xiao Qing will be able to ravage Busquets unscrupulously, and Xiao Qing will be able to stage another destruction of the old enemy.

In the fiery atmosphere of the Emirates Stadium, the players of the two teams also led the caddies into the court; Xiao Qing wiped his hands, and at this time, Barcelona defender Sergio Busquets happened to walk in front of him. It seems that this is a pity, Xiao Qing caused him and Busquets to miss the handshake ceremony before the game again because of an 'accident'.

Clapping his hands, Xiao Qing ran quickly towards the front, Xiao Qing can't wait now, now he is really looking forward to the start of this big battle, and now he hopes that the team can once again defeat a strong opponent like Barcelona and continue to move forward. It's a good time for Arsenal; The current Gunners have also encountered a bottleneck in their development, and if they can continue to move forward at this time, if they can overcome a strong opponent like Barcelona, then Arsenal will reach new heights, and they are very sure of achieving greater success in the future.

Both teams are good at keeping the ball at their feet, they are both good team footballers; When the two teams were in a fierce battle in midfield at the beginning of the game, they wanted to control the ball at their feet more with passing and cutting, and they wanted to get the pace of the game quickly. Indeed, when both teams are trying to control the tempo of the game, it may not seem like a ferocious attack, but no one dares to let up at this time, because the players of both Arsenal and Barcelona know that if they let their opponents seize the space, they may have to pay a heavy price.

Arsenal played very aggressively at the beginning of the game, although Barcelona tried to control the tempo of the game, but Arsenal can be regarded as experienced, they know how to restrain Barca, who have a similar style of play to their own team, and they know how to disrupt the rhythm of the opponent.

Less than two minutes into the game, Van Persie fired a left-footed shot from 25 yards out after a steal in front, which was blocked by Barcelona defender Mascherano and then collected by goalkeeper Valdés. Less than a minute later, Alexander Song crossed after breaking the ball in front, and Xiao Qing's right-footed shot from the top of the penalty area was blocked by Pique with his body; Xiao Qing, who snatched the ball back, crossed in front of the penalty area, and Van Persie almost formed a single-handed goalkeeper on the line of the small penalty area, but his right-footed sweep shot was actually high!

Arsenal played a very good attack at the beginning of the game, and they threatened the Barcelona goal again and again in the game; Consecutive high-quality shots, the most important thing is that Barcelona was completely inferior at the beginning of the game, in this case, the Arsenal fans naturally erupted into crazy cheers, and now the gun fans seem to see the team once again to win against Barcelona.

The Gunners are also feeling very good now, they have taken some small initiative at the beginning of the game, and the most important thing is that Arsenal are playing very well now; Even if it's not really the first to take the lead, but look at Arsenal's current performance, they definitely gave Barcelona a ruthless dismount, this is Arsenal's territory, at this time Arsenal is naturally more sure to win the game at home!

The Barcelona players must be a little aggrieved, and playing with Arsenal must have made them uncomfortable; Not only because of their record against Arsenal in the past two seasons, but also because Arsenal and Barcelona have similar styles, Arsenal knows how to disrupt Barcelona's rhythm at this time, and Arsenal knows how to take the lead at this time.

In fact, it is the same for Barcelona, although at the beginning of the game they were a little scrambling by Arsenal's continuous strong attacks, but when Barcelona came to their senses, when they were gradually able to control the football at their feet, this game was not necessarily just an Arsenal game, and now they are also using more cooperation to continue to impact Arsenal's goal.

In the sixth minute of the game, Messi broke through and won a free kick 30 meters away from the goal, Messi kicked the ball and slipped the ball and shot into a pass, but this sudden attack also made Barcelona get a certain chance, Keita headed the ball three meters away from the goal! In the ninth minute, Xavi passed the ball in the middle, Messi hit the goal with his left foot twelve meters from the goal, Szczesny reacted quickly, but he pounced on the ball, Alves was too late to attack after winning the ball in the face of the empty goal, and the Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny who got up quickly reacted quickly and kicked the ball out of bounds, and Arsenal escaped by luck.

The two teams played a very good attack and momentum at the beginning of the game, and this game is indeed as predicted by many fans and media before the game. The representatives of the two offensive football teams that are good at attacking will naturally not have any politeness at this time, and they will only use more excellent aggression to win the game at this time!
