Arsenal's Mertesacker Gunning For Quick Recovery At Old Trafford

The return leg tie is at the Camp Nou on March 16.

For the past three seasons Arsene Wenger's side have exited at the same stage, having imploded in the opening home leg.

Arsenal secured a 3-0 victory over Manchester United when the two sides met at the Emirates Stadium earlier in the season and punters may choose to use their free bet to back Wenger's side to achieve a similar result on Sunday.

Each time Arsenal responded with valiant, if ultimately in vain, away performances but, according to Wenger, this time the battle is already 95 percent lost.

Bellerin - a Barca youth academy product who swapped the Catalans for Arsenal in 2011 - added: "Facing Barcelona was very special to me".

"It wasn't deliberate", Luis Enrique said. We had more space, which is how we prefer to play.

"Then we lost a bit of cautiousness to defend".

"We had plenty of possession, we defended very well and we managed Arsenal's transitions (counter-attacks) very well". Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain snatched at a big chance on 23 minutes and Arsenal have now drawn blanks in five of their past eight matches.

Barcelona will be without leading centre-back Gerard Pique for the second leg after the Spanish worldwide picked up a yellow card for a poor lunge on Danny Welbeck late in the second half.

"We're really happy with the result we got", he said. I feel we are extremely guilty and we have no excuse for that goal. We don't know. Let's not set any limit on the number of points we can get.

The Blackhawks didn't get their first power plays until late in the second period but they didn't mess around once they got them. Pavel Datsyuk just missed with a backhand early in the first period, sending the puck off the right goal post and out.

"We knew we could not afford to give them counter attacks and that is exactly what we did".

"When the players put in the energy that they have put in on Tuesday, it's very hard to take because you want the players to be rewarded".

"We need to play better on the break and when we have the ball".

"We had an unbelievable chance in the first half and the way we finished our chances is a problem", Wenger told reporters after his side's demoralising defeat.
