Wenger hopes for away goal

Arsenal will be visiting Barcelona for the first leg of the champions league pre quarterfinal tie and the Gunners who are in race for the English premier league hope to get a positive result in Champions league tie.

This Arsenal team has shown from the last season that they have the courage and the fight in then to dig deep and defend well and play on the counter attack. They have beaten Man City, United, Bayern, Olympiakos when under immense pressure. This won’t be the arsenal like before. They have one of the best goalkeepers in their ranks and moreover Wenger isn’t as stubborn as he used to be. He has changed his game planning for big games.

Talking before the match Wenger said.” We have always made it difficult for ourselves in previous years by conceding goals at home and the rules of the modern European Cup encourage teams to defend at home and attack away because of the importance of the away goal. Many times I have said that should be suppressed because if you concede a goal at home in the Champions League it’s a knife in your heart every time. Against big teams it becomes very difficult.”
