Tonight’s Champions League game between Arsenal and Barcelona has the whole football world purring with delight. Both Barcelona and Arsenal are lauded as the best footballing teams on the planet which makes this Champions League Quarter Final a mouth watering prospect.

Arsenal have often been criticised for being too weak and easy to bully in games, but there is no doubt that when they start to play, their crisp incise passing and movement is impossible to live with.
