weeraryahanka wadanka Argentina Lionel  Messi rigoore uu dhaliyay ayay ku hartay kooxda Arsenal sanadkii 2-aad ee xirir ah oo ay dhaafi la'dahay kooxda weerarka culus ee Barcelona. Ten-man Arsenal succumbed to Barcelona as they were again knocked out of the Champions League by the Catalan outfit. A Cesc Fabregas mistake allowed Lionel Messi to chip a ball over keeper Manuel Almunia and slot in for Barca. Arsenal levelled through a Sergio Busquets own goal before the visitors had Robin van Persie harshly sent off. Barcelona took full advantage as a brilliant move led to Xavi slotting in before Laurent Koscielny's foul on Pedro let Messi score from the spot. Arsene Wenger's side had their Champions League dreams shattered at the Camp Nou last season when a Messi-inspired Barcelona came from a goal down to win their quarter-final 4-1 and 6-3 on aggregate. The Gunners' return this time around with a 2-1 lead from the first leg of their last 16 tie was a test of whether they had progressed and developed enough to show the steel and substance to beat the Spaniards. Ultimately, they fell short again and, although the north London outfit will have cause for complaint with the dismissal of Van Persie for a second yellow card, they were given another footballing lesson by the home side. Arsenal failed to muster a shot on goal as they spent most of the game trying to stop the Barca tide. Van Persie and Fabregas had missed the defeat at the Camp Nou last season and, although they started this time around, the result was the same as the pair played pivotal roles in Arsenal's downfall. The Gunners had been forced to swap their artistry for attrition as Pep Guardiola's team quickly set the tone of the game by dominating possession while passing and probing for an opening. Barcelona goal: I've not been convinced by Swiss referee Massimo Busacca tonight but this is a definite penalty. Laurent Koscielny sends Pedro tumbling inside the box and Lionel Messi steps up to roll home the resulting penalty. He was never going to miss that, was he? As things stand, Arsenal are out. GOALFLASH Barcelona 3-1 Arsenal (Messi) (agg 4-3)
