Mental block must stem from manager and fear... 2012 Milan 4 Arsenal 0 2013 Arsenal 1 Bayern 3 2014 Arsenal 0 Bayern 2 2015 Arsenal 1 Monaco 3 2016 Arsenal 0 Barcelona 2
They have to do a Liverpool. Go and win at the Nou Camp. Can they emulate a feat that only 1 English club has ever done? We've actually done it twice, but I don't want to go on about it too much.
Well since you've posted the first leg results, we may as well add in the Barca result as well. 2-1 at the Emirates. And here is a comparison of the 2nd leg results. 2012 Arsenal 3 Milan 0 2013 Bayern 0 Arsenal 2 2014 Bayern 1 Arsenal 1 2015 Monaco 0 Arsenal 2 2016? 1-0 to Arsenal the Nou Camp.
Yes, because once the pressure is off and Arsenal have been written off, they play better, narrowly lose, get praised for their plucky second leg performance and say "same again next year lads."
I should point out for the people of this great board. Yes you have won at the Nou Camp - but you weren't playing Barca. You were playing those poor Germans in the luckiest of games in the history of football
You will melt CFC's small brain with those stats mate. They just don't fit into his piss poor wum narrative.
So a poor first leg followed by a gallant effort in the second that see's them fall short be seen as "unlucky" or "promising"
You should also point out our game actually meant something. And is widely regarded as the greatest comeback in the history of the game, not some hollow victory on penalties
