- Nou or never as Arsenal fight back Arsenal 2 Barcelona 1: ARSENAL WOULD not tolerate a remake of the past. They had taken just a draw with Barcelona at home last year before being knocked out of the Champions League. Here, they rallied from 1-0 down to win. Robin van Persie tied the score with a drive that beat the goalkeeper Victor Valdes at his near post 11 minutes from time.
- No Glasgow kiss, just tiki taka tippy-tappy rat-a-tat football TV VIEW: A TASTY prospect, it has to be said. On the menu: England’s Barcelona against Spain’s Arsenal. Tiki taka heaven, or ‘tippy-tappy’, as Graeme Souness describes it. Or “rat-a-tat” as ITV’s Andy Townsend dubbed it last night. John Giles just calls it “good football, Bill”, which is the gist of it.
