Great finish Ibra.

[cn174]

You can clearly tell that all them Rovers videos that the Barcelona players have been watching are paying off.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

To be fair, it was a long ball he scored from haha.

And 2-0 another brilliant finish. Ibraaaa.

[Amo]

2-2 now.

Puyol & Pique both out of the return leg, along with Fabregas.

[RibbleValleyRover]

I would say the advantage is with Barca, 2 away goals, no Fabregas and playing at the intimidating Camp Nou in the return leg. Pique and Puyol out will be a blow but Milito and Marquez aren't bad replacements.

If I was an Arsenal fan I'd feel hollow tonight. I don't think I could enjoy getting back into the game due to a very dubious penalty.

[Hughesy]

Very dodgy penalty! Same old Arsenal, always cheating!

To be fair it wasn't as dodgy as the one we got at the weekend!

Barcelona were pure class for large parts, but Arsenal showed some fighting spirit for a change and the Walcott substitution really changed the game.

Hypocrisy is a concept lost on Hughesy.

Stonewall pen.

With originality being lost on topman

Annoyingly, I missed the Arsenal game last night. Anybody know if it's being repeated on TV at any time?

[Majiball]

Having watched it tcj, I have no doubt it will be at some stage.

[tcj_jones]

I don't know whether to be happy at that, or sad because I missed it! Haha, ###### migraines!

[waggy]

it was great to see arsenal get a footballing lesson for the 1st 20mins,wenger moans about inferior teams fouling and injuring his players,but last night thats all arsenal could do,arshavin and song were lucky not to be sent off.inferior teams do not intend to injure players,the opposition are just too good arsene

Tremendous stuff from Barca last night. Hope Big Sam was taking notes

No, Guardiola was at Turf Moor with his notepad of course.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

It was ironic how the first Barca goal came from a LONG BALL.

THe only one I saw as well.

Sam should mention it to Rafa.

It actually came from ###### poor keeping.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Yes, but if Pique hadn't thumped it up to Ibra, Aluminium would still have been in his goal watching them ping it about across the midfield.

Wonder if any Barca fans are fed up of the hoofball?

[Grabbi Graeme]

In Europa League Liverpool 1-0 against Benfica, but Liverpool down to 10 men after Babbel sent off for some afters after a tackle on Torres by Luisao.

Agger scored for Liverpool

Channel 5 Commentator "His (Agger) last goal was against Blackburn Rovers, a rather less sexy opposition"

[Exiled_Rover]

Less sexy than Benfica? ###### off.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Benefica are launching it into the box from throw ins via Luiz so I don't think they are Barca yet.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Keith Andrews could get into the Benfica team but could Di Maria get into ours? 100% no!

[Seggie]

Just a point about the Liverpool V Benfica game, I would be interested to see how UEFA respond to the firecrackers being lobbed on the pitch. Seeing the scortch marks left on the pitch those things would hurt if they hit someone.
