2006 Champions League Final, a day Arsenal fans will remember forever as the day Barca beat our beloved Gunners in the dying moments of le' grande finale.
Last season, quarter-finals, Barca again emerge victorious yet again.
Well it is now retribution time. The two have been paired again. Speaking on the draw, Arsene Wenger is being careful with his words it seems...
"My reaction is very simple - difficult but possible," Arsene Wenger told Arsenal's official website. "I didn't want anybody really, in that all teams would have been difficult. You could have said that Schalke - a team with less history in the Champions League - would have been easier maybe, but the advantage is that we will be on our toes and we'll be ready.
"Revenge is not on my mind. We want to qualify and we want to knock them out. So is it difficult? Yes. Is it possible? Yes.
"Barcelona are certainly the favourites [for the competition] and a famous team but, on their side, they did not want us either because they know they will get a game. I think we are better than last year and we have a good opportunity to show that."
