Arsenal allowed just seven goals at the other end of the pitch. High-scoring games are nothing new to Arsenal, which sits second in the Premier standings in points and goals (57 in 28 games). The club hasn’t played particularly well since defeating Barca, though; after tying Sunderland nil-nil on Saturday, Arsenal is 2-2-1 in its past five games.

FC Barcelona arrived in the Last 16 after winning Group D. Barca went undefeated, going 4-2-0 while scoring 14 goals. The club especially stood out defensively, allowing just three goals in those six matches. FC Barcelona has been just as sharp during league play. The team sits in first place in La Liga after allowing just 13 goals in 27 games. Of course, when it really counted, Barcelona was burned for three goals against Arsenal. That was Barca’s lone loss in the past 11 games. The team is 10-1-0 in that span, including five straight victories and a 1-0 win over Real Zaragoza on Saturday.
