In the West, there is a famous Murphy's Law, which is based on the fact that no matter how small the probability, the last thing you want to happen will always happen. Both Arsenal and Barcelona are facing opponents they don't want to meet right now, and now they have to make sure they put in more effort in the game, but they don't necessarily win the game because they have strong opponents.

'Arsenal are very experienced and know us very well. In the pre-match press conference, Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola seemed relatively calm, although he knew that Arsenal was very strong, but he was also full of confidence in his team; 'We're going to try our best to win this game, we know how to limit Arsenal better, we know how to limit Shaw's play.'

Don't look at the current Guardiola's performance is still very confident in freezing Xiao Qing's performance, but he is also hard-mouthed, because he knows that wanting to completely freeze Xiao Qing is really a problem in the football world, and the current Barcelona is likely to continue to be pushed to a desperate situation by Xiao Qing's active performance.

Barca's lack of set-piece and long-range specialists means that individual breakthroughs from star players are likely to change the game when passing and cutting are not fluid. In the Barcelona team, Messi and Iniesta are undoubtedly the players who are the best at breaking through. And now Barcelona, they have to face Arsenal with a similar technical style, and there are many players who are good at breaking through in the Gunners' lineup.

Although the current Arsenal has been criticized in the defensive line, Vermaelen's strength is really good, and now Mertesacker is back from injury. Arsenal are also at the pinnacle of the team at centre-back; On the other hand, the Barcelona backline. No one can limit Xiao Qing one-on-one.

Pique's form has been up and down. The difference between Puyol and Mascherano in height and strength is more obvious, and Abidal is out for another season. Since one person can't guard Xiao Qing, it is necessary to count on Busquets to make more steals in the midfield, and Barcelona needs to cut off the connection between Xiao Qing and his teammates as much as possible. However, this is likely to break the rhythm of Barcelona itself, and although Xiao Qing can become a very good offensive axis, he also has an excellent helper like Van Persie by his side; So if you want to completely freeze Arsenal's attack, it's really not an easy thing.

"This Arsenal team is one of the best teams in the history of the Champions League, they are the champions of the Premier League. They are the leaders of the Premier League, they are the reigning champions of the Champions League, they have a lot of good players, they are very strong, and we need to play a great game away at Arsenal to win some advantages for promotion. If you want to win the Champions League, you have to beat the best teams, and that's a convention, and this season is no different. Arsenal are the defending champions and I'm sure they would love to lift the trophy again. However, compared to Barcelona, we hope to win the Champions League even more. The two legs against Arsenal will be tough. I'd rather play against another team. "Whether it's a compliment or a real timidity, Pep Guardiola really has no choice now, and the final battle with Arsenal is about to start, and the two teams are now starting the final preparations and adjustments.

Whenever it is, the showdown between Arsenal and Barcelona is exciting, let alone the quarter-finals of the Champions League!

What's more, the current two teams also seem to have a lot in common, for example, the holder of the Champions League goal record in the previous Champions League is Xiao Qing, who is also considered to be the active No. 1 player. And now in the Barcelona team, Messi's recent form is a source of confidence for Barcelona, the Argentine striker has scored 19 goals in the last eight games, staged an incredible goal blowout, and even more crazy than Xiao Qing's performance in this period.

In this season, Messi has scored 12 goals in seven appearances in the Champions League, and now he leads the scorer list with the same goals as Xiao Qing; And now is a really sensitive time for the two players, because now that they can win this matchup, it also means that this is likely to win the Champions League Golden Boot this season. Of course, Xiao Qing is the current holder of the Champions League goal record, and Messi is also a candidate who is very likely to hit Xiao Qing's record.

In fact, now it is a very good opportunity for Xiao Qing or Messi, because they are facing a team that can be said to have a poor defense, and now whether it is Barcelona or Arsenal, their performance on the defensive end is difficult to be satisfied, at this time, whether it is for Xiao Qing or Messi, it is very possible to hit more goals now, and it is a very good choice to score more goals to help the team win at this time.

For Arsenal, the first leg is obviously also important, because Arsenal want to win, they want to continue to finish pressing Barcelona, then they really can't concede too many goals in the first leg. Arsenal's schedule is home and away, and if they score away goals for Barcelona in the first leg, then they will really have to be passive at the Camp Nou in the second leg.

Arsenal doesn't want to lose, since it can become the first team to successfully defend the Champions League after the restructuring, then Arsenal also hopes to make history at this time, they hope to win three consecutive championships, and the real product of the Big Ears Cup will be completely left in Arsenal's honor room, not just a replica of the trophy. According to the Champions League policy, teams that have won three consecutive Champions League trophies can keep the authenticity of the Champions League trophy forever, and now Arsenal are hoping to make history.

Although many people now think that Arsenal's performance during this period is too good, so that their monopoly on honor in the Champions League has made UEFA a little panicked, they hope to meet the Champions League, not just Arsenal. Now Barcelona and Arsenal meet again, which is also considered to be a team that is likely to bring great difficulties to Arsenal, because Barcelona is really strong, they can be said to be the closest to Arsenal's existence, and they are also considered to be the favorites to win the championship in one fell swoop.

The Arsenal dynasty has done well in both Europe and the Premier League in recent years, and UEFA is rumoured to be tired of Arsenal's "monopoly model" and they want Arsenal not to succeed in defending their title. "Matching" with this rumor, is the Champions League quarterfinals of the draw, Xiao Qing's Arsenal first faced the difficult Barcelona, if they reach the semi-finals, waiting for them is likely to be some Arsenal style of Chelsea, and in the final, waiting for them may be Real Madrid, which is leading in La Liga. Of course, before that, Arsenal had faced strong opponents in both the group stage and the quarterfinals, and Arsenal had not been in a good situation in this season's Champions League.

In the 05-06 season of the Champions League final, at the Stade de France, Arsenal was so close to winning the first Champions League title in team history, but they were reversed by Barcelona; Then came the departure of Henry, the poaching of Cesc Fabregas, and the strength of Arsenal was also greatly affected.

After Xiao Qing joined Arsenal, Barcelona was eliminated by Arsenal for two consecutive seasons, and faced Arsenal without a win, which was really a big blow to Barcelona. This is Barcelona's revenge battle, although they are considered to be one of the strongest teams, but they have not been able to beat Arsenal, which also makes it difficult for Barcelona to get the final recognition and recognition, because the opponent Arsenal seems to be truly invincible.

One of the most important matchups of the Champions League quarter-finals is about to begin, with Arsenal taking on Cosmos Barcelona at the Emirates Stadium. When Arsenal meets Barcelona, when Xiao Qing meets Messi, no matter on or off the field, there will be no shortage of topics in this game. And although Xiao Qing eliminated Barcelona single-handedly in the past season, Xiao Qing still held his breath in his heart, Xiao Qing was still relatively optimistic and generous in many cases, but sometimes Xiao Qing was still a little cautious, he was very resentful, especially when he suffered a loss.

Don't look at Xiao Qing's pre-match stop mentioning Barcelona defender Busquets, although no matter what the media continue to provoke, Xiao Qing is really not fooled; Two seasons ago, Xiao Qing was banned by Busquets for a fake fall, and Xiao Qing and Arsenal were almost eliminated by their opponents, and Xiao Qing still remembered this matter.

Now it's not just Barcelona that wants revenge, but also Xiao Qing wants to take revenge on Barcelona and Busquets; Although he has defeated Barcelona and Busquets, Xiao Qing is not satisfied at all, what he needs is a complete suppression, and he needs to become a nightmare for Barcelona and Busquets. Now Xiao Qing is holding back his energy, and Xiao Qing is also looking forward to the upcoming big game, wanting to achieve better results in the Champions League, also because there is now a motivation for revenge, which naturally makes the two teams look forward to this team more at this time.

Playing Barcelona at home is a must-play for Arsenal, and the Gunners are ready now; They are also full of confidence for this home game, because Arsenal is in good shape now, because Arsenal has more psychological advantages. At this time, Arsenal is very confident to play Barcelona; Now Arsenal is not only pursuing a home win against Barcelona, they are also looking forward to beating Barcelona home and away again!

Now that they have won Barcelona twice, Arsenal is also looking forward to beating Barcelona for the third time; This is not an impossible task for the Gunners, because their own Arsenal still has enough confidence and strength, Barcelona seems to be just a relatively good opponent in the Gunners, although the game may be a little difficult, but the final winner must be Arsenal!
