Wenger: We can beat Barca

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger maintains his team have a good chance of beating Barcelona when the teams meet in the Champions League last 16.

The Premier League outfit came out of the hat alongside the European champions in the draw earlier this week and face a difficult task in overcoming Luis Enrique’s men.

However, Wenger feels the Gunners can take heart from the 2-0 defeat inflicted on Bayern Munich in the group stages of this season’s competition.

“We will play against a team that are the holders of the trophy and is one of the best in Europe at the moment, but I think we have a chance of knocking them out,” the Frenchman told a Press conference.

“We must be inspired by the result we got at home against Bayern, who are the same type of team. With the same kind of difficulty can we achieve the same result?

“I think we have a good chance of going through. It will be tough, but also exciting. We are ambitious”
