Arsenal Vs Barcelona Preview -What is a respectful loss?

Koscielny on the Barcelona game: "People always talk about the statistics & I think we have maybe a 5% chance to qualify"

Wenger“I have not created human beings. That is God, if he exists. He didn’t make us perfect, so we have to live with that. We have to live with exaggerations and I can do that. I honestly never believed that I was God and I’m absolutely completely conscious of that. But what can I do? It is a perception of other people. It is judgment. Is it right or wrong? I don’t know. But I know I can only make sure of one thing – I am completely committed to perform and I do my best to make sure this club does well.”

Alves said: "When the draw was made, we knew it could have been tougher for us. That is no reflection on the quality of Arsenal. The quality of the way they play the game and the quality of some of their players is there for all to see.

"It is a reflection on their experience, character, and mental strengths. There are teams in Europe that don't have the quality that Arsenal have, but you would rather avoid them and play Arsenal - because you know that those teams have experience and character."

Wenger said: “We have won everywhere in Europe, but not here yet.

“The players are united to give a strong performance.”

Can't tell if you're joking or if that is actually the best team we can field due to a new spat of injuries I didn't know

I am convinced the players will give a strong response and it would give us a big boost to have a great game here
