No team has ever won the Champions League twice in consecutive seasons. Barcelona won last year. That means they have to lose at some point, right? That's the rule, right, isn't that how this works? What do you mean "no?"
Arsenal's potential path to Madrid and the Champions League Final was revealed this morning, and should Arsenal get there, the trip will likely include stops in both the eighth and ninth circles of Hell. Meanwhile, Manchester United's potential path to Madrid will comparably include a stop in the Gumdrop Mountains followed by either Lollipop Woods or Peppermint Stick Forest in the semifinals.
Arsenal have never beaten Barcelona in Champions League play, losing in the 2006 Final on ten men 2-1 and playing a 1-1 draw at Camp Nou followed by a 4-2 loss at Wembley in group play in 1999-2000.
Story lines abound! Two teams with similar styles. Thierry Henry's return to the Emirates. Barcelona's eventual controversial attempt to kidnap Cesc Fabregas. Pretty passing. Precision, angles, Denilson. Even more pretty passing.
Get ready Hipster Gooners, the fight for Europe is well underway.
