Also hard to argue against, when in the world player of the year category, Barca's players

were 1st 2nd and 3rd

Can't remember the stats, but Xavi vs Wilshere the other week had Xavi completing over 100 passes to Wilshere's 40 odd

Barca and Spain might not have wow'd people sufficiently enough, but they are masters spraying the ball about and wearing teams down

1 up the other week, Arsenal got at them, and got a result. You're right that if they can do it again tonight, it's a big statement of where Arsenal are

But just how many times this season have Arsenal proved they are well of the pace in terms of being a big force in europe? (Leyton Orient draw, Losing the Carling Cup, drawing at the weekend at home, the Newcastle 4-4?, which for entertainment means the Newcastle result at the emirates has been forgotten)

If they're ready to shine, then good luck to them tonight. But they've got overcome what allowed barca to win 4-1 at the Nou Camp last season. Which makes their 1 goal lead not so big when you consider all the above
