Id disagree strongly.

Arsenal battered Barca 2nd half at the Emirates with Jack Wilshere simply outstanding..Barca were thoroughly deserved winners to go through over 2 legs But no way did they ' Dismantle ' Arsenal.

Arsenal rattled Barcelona in the second half...as they did when they came from two goals down in the previous tie between them.
Barcelona were listing and could have sunk but I reckon all the ball-chasing in the first half tired Arsenal out but they really should have smashed them when they were on top.

The second halves of these games shows that Barca are human and can be got at. For what its worth I don't think the semi is done and dusted yet because if Real score an early goal then who knows?

Mibbe 'dismantled' is too strong for the first leg, though I'd argue that the 2-1 win was somewhat fortuitous. Arsenal's heads went down in the second leg though, such was the gulf. Manchester could get lucky in the final and sneak a win over 90 mins, but I would still expect the gulf to be as evident as it was against Arsenal.

Arsenal's heads never went down in the 2nd leg..RVP got a debatable red card and that was that..They lost 3-1 on the night 4-3 on AGG..No way did their heads go down...And to lose 4-3 over two legs on AGG is certainly not shameful, They got beaten by the best team on the planet.

I concur with the gulf in class against Man u tho..They will simply be to strong on the night.

Was a soft red. Maybe Mourinho is right? After that point, though, Arsenal were chasing shadows and never looked liked salvaging the tie, imo. No shame in losing 4-3 on agg, certainly. Wouldn't have been any shame in getting humped much worsely than that either. Barcelona simply too good, fact endof.

He never and it wasnt.

Arsenal actually beat Barca that night..Not bad considering Barca are the best team on the planet by a country mile.


I hope Messi takes his chances against Man yoo tho, Like he did in the CL final when the beat Man u 2-0 in 2009 and it was so one sided, Same again will happen imo.

Really - If you are gonna quote results do a bit of checking first - The result was ACTUALLY Barcelona 3 Manchester Utd 0.

And no it was not soo one-sided that you choose to believe.
In fact Man Utd created 3 good chances to score in the 1st 20-25 mins BEFORE Et'oo beat Vidic to score the 1st Barcelona goal.

Admittedly, once Barca got in front - then Man Utd struggled and Barca/Messi turned on the style to win the game.

Hey Ho - Win some Lose some

That was 2 years ago - IF both teams get to Wembley we will see what the outcome is then.

The glory hunting fc united fans don't half make themselves look stupid on this board. Personally I'd just make them all sit in a bath of vinegar for their stupidity.

Other than getting the score wrong and saying Man Utd had 3 good chances in the first 20-25 mins before Barca scored when Eto'o netted in the 10th minute you're probably right.

Man Utd did struggle for the 80 mins after Barca got in front
