Champions League Tie With Arsenal Is Not Over- Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi has insisted that Barcelona's Champions League last-16 tie with Arsenal isn't over yet, despite their commanding position heading into the second leg. Messi was defiant that his side were not going to be complacent ahead of the clash, saying Arsenal have the quality at their disposal to cause an upset.

Messi who spoke after their 6-0 victory over Getafe on Saturday said “Arsenal have players more than capable of scoring goals. We have put ourselves in a very good position to progress and to reach the quarter-finals but none of the players are thinking that the job is finished. Of course we know the danger that Alexis Sanchez can bring but that is only one of many top quality players they have. The style they play is the most similar to that which we play at Barcelona and for that we have a lot of respect for them”

Not only will Arsenal have to score at least twice to progress to the quarter-finals, they'll also have to keep out European football's most potent strikeforce in Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez who has score more than 100 goals already this season.
