'Barcelona are not unbeatable', says Wenger
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes French giants Paris Saint-Germain can prey on Barcelona’s vulnerabilities in their Champions League quarter-final first leg tonight.
Ligue 1 leaders PSG host the current La Liga table toppers at Parc des Princes tonight in one of the most-anticipated European clashes.
Wenger has previous experience of winning against Barca following a 2-1 win a couple of seasons ago, with Wenger convinced that the Catalan side have lost their ‘spark’ in certain areas.
“Seeing as Celtic and AC Milan have managed to beat Barcelona, anything is possible for a team like Paris Saint-Germain,” wrote Wenger on his Eurosport blog.
“Barcelona are not invincible. It’s clear that Barca are the superior side technically, but they have lost a bit of spark recently.
“They [Barcelona] are now more vulnerable at the back and I believe that PSG have enough attacking potential to exploit this vulnerability which did not exist in previous seasons.”
Wenger should get his Arsenal side unbeatable and not worry about his other French connection
Thank you mr Wenger for pointing out the obvious. No side in football is unbeatable, that’s why we love sports. On any given day any side can beat even superior side like Bradford City beat Arsenal in a League Cup. Wenger’s words would carry more gravitas if his Arsenal actually managed to beat Barca over two legs. Last time those two met Arsenal didn’t have a shot on goal. How ambarasing!
Thomas, in your expert opinion how should Mr Wenger have answered the reporters question ‘are barcalona unbeatable?’
If you can think of an answer better than the one he gave then you’ll prove you’re not an idiot (which is what most people reading your comment think of you).
