Arsene Wenger: Why can’t we stun brilliant Barca?

For a man who prides himself on attacking, free-flowing football, Arsene Wenger lurches out of his comfort zone when it comes to defending himself against a Barcelona side that, he says, currently hold a knife to his heart.

The Frenchman is convinced his side will find the net against the Spanish champions when they welcome them to the Emirates tonight for the first leg of their last-16 Champions League tie, but he also admits defensive solidity is more of an issue.

“I think we will score, so I am not too much concerned,” said Wenger.
