The Champions League quarter-final draw ensured that the two favourites, Barcelona and Manchester United wouldn't meet unless both made it to the final. But Barca couldn't avoid the English clubs completely as they drew Arsene Wengers Arsenal. Cesc Fabregas will be making a return to where it all started for the young lad from Vilassar de Mar, whilst another who'll be completing an emotional homecoming is Thierry Henry, who will play at the Emirates Stadium for the first time. Two clubs that like to stick the ball on the floor and pass it around a bit; should be an entertaining tie. Do Arsenal have enough steel at the back to halt Señores Messi, Iniesta, Pedro and Ibrahimovic? Do they possess enough firepower upfront to trouble Pique, Puyol and Valdes? I just can't see it happening. Should Barca progress they will play the winner of the tie between CSKA Moscow and Inter Milan. So we could be seeing 'The Translator' make a popular return to Catalonia.
