Trip down memory lane -
The year was 2011, the scene was set a tie against Barcelona. We fell behind to a David Villa goal but battled back in the last ten minutes with Van Persie's volley and Arshavin's late counter attack goal assisted by Nasri. At the Camp Nou, we ended up going out due to a 3-1 loss. I remember that night well. We were arguably robbed by the decision of Van Persie's sending off and who can forget Cesc's failed maradona turn on the edge of 18 yard box resulting in Messi's famous chip goal. We did not have a shot on target that night, we went out 4-3 on aggregate to the Barcelona side everybody looks to for the tika-taka legacy. Djoruou played that night at the Camp Nou, so did Bendtner. We lost to a side that would complete the treble and go down as one of the greats. Let's bring some hope and option to the Camp Nou after Tuesday. Even though we have an improved side, especially defensively, Barcelona boast perhaps the best attacking players in the world right now. We will need to be at our very best. Let's look forward to Tuesday fellow gunners.

And Bendtner fluffed an easy chance in dying minutes that could have seen us go through.
Ahhh, memories :-)

Didn't we also set a new record that night as the only champions league side to ever score without having a shot :-)
Our goal came from a corner resulting in an og if memory servers me right.

I've got a sneaky suspicion that it'll be 2-0 to us tonight, I couldn't tell you why but it feels that way to me so here's hopeing!
