Barcelona dominate a clearly weaker Arsenal side, going down to 10 men after Maicon's red card in the 46 minute, Barcelona still go on to get 55% possesion and five times as many shots as Arsenal. Steven Gerrard, Sergio Ramos and Francesco Totti, led Barcelona confidently to their victory at home ground. Totti plotted his first of the campain 15 minutes into the match which was like a dagger into the heart of an already unconfident Arsenal side. Barcelona will surely hold their heads high for their next fixture, March 21 when they will host a strong Chelsea side.

Camp Nou erupted when Emmanuel Adebayor popped in a beautiful turn around volley from a brilliant chip off teammate Francesco Totti's boot. Before Barcelona supprters could even calm down, Adebayor sloted his second of the evening home with a sweet header to the far side neting. Chelsea pulled one back but the Barcelona defence held strong to conserve that 2-1 lead.

"Lots of production from ou key players, that's what won it." quoted Barcelona manager Federico Montilla, "Had we not had lone striker Emmanuel Adebayor for this match we wouldn't have won, honestly, he was the main reason.

When asked how he felt his squad did, Jose Mourinho replied saying, "Pathetic, just pathetic. that's all I have to say about these children."
