Ibrahimovic draws comfort despite Arsenal fightback

BARCELONA striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic feels his side’s 2-2 Champions League draw with Arsenal on Wednesday night is still a good result despite the reigning European champions failing to hold on to a two-goal lead in a thrilling encounter at Emirates Stadium.

Barca looked set to make next week’s quarter-final second leg at the Nou Camp a mere formality as they created chance after chance against shell-shocked Arsenal before a brace from Ibrahimovic at the start of the second half deservedly put Pep Guardiola’s side in the ascendancy.

However, the Catalan outfit ended up having to settle for a draw after Arsenal hit back through goals from Theo Walcott and Cesc Fabregas to leave the tie in the balance.
