Note by Joaquin ( OK ) .- In a game of attack, Arsenal draw to get 2 goals in 85 minutes, a Barcelona which, however, has shown that its reputation is not accidental, but well deserved. Arsenal titanic effort it takes to equal the score in the final stretch of the game itself. Final score: Arsenal 2 x 2 Barcelona.
Goals: Ibrahimovic ('46 and '59) by Barcelona, \u200b\u200band Walcott ('69) and penalty Fabregas ('85).
was the great moment of Cesc Fabregas, who shone in the field, just the opposite of Thierre Henry, glued to the bench throughout the game, because that Pedro Rodriguez as football was rewarded with the title.
Already in the very beginning of the match, Barcelona was felt, with several baffling attacks also to take from those moments with ball control. A shot of Sergio Bustos after a corner kick, and then tested Messi and Ibrahimovic shot from very near the area, announced that Barca came with everything.
However, one Manuel Almunia very focused and determined not to let anything or anyone, was the hero of the first quarter, especially at 14 minutes, repelling several violent assaults of their opponents. Including a one to one play against Ibrahimovic.
was not until 22 minutes when Arsenal appeared to put back, and by the feet of Nasri sent a shot that almost surprised to Barça, but ended up barely touching the stick. Since then they was better, but still retained the manor Barcelona territory the entire first half, but the clubs went into the break goalless.
that situation did not last long, and the rest seemed to sharpen the precision of a Barcelona overwhelming, as Ibrahimovic took a brief departure from Almunia to baptize the opposing goal. Far from being intimidated, Arsenal responded with a header from Niklas Bendtner, that soon was to become the tie.
After a warning to Fabregas, who thereby lost the second leg, Arsenal seemed to be affected a little, the point of allowing as much of `59 minute Ibrahimovic, after a long pass from Xavi. Barca seemed to have closed the meeting in advance.
But Theo Walcott come to refresh the troops of the Arsenal, and he did nothing less than cutting the distance of their rivals, scoring the first goal for his team after a pass from Bendtner. There was no return and the Arsenal took control of the situation, and 83 minutes' tied the game by charging a penalty by Fabregas, who converted both. This blurred the situation, and gave a different profile to the tie. More so because Fábregras ended up receiving a red card, for which not attend the game at the Camp Nou on Tuesday.
could not ask for a better or more exciting game. The only disadvantage of such a party, is that it raises expectations to heaven, and now we'll want something even more spectacular on Tuesday 06 April at 20:45 (Spain time), when playing the second leg Arsenal Barcelona Vs.
