Arsenal claimed unperturbed competed in the Camp Nou. There was no choice to survive, the Gunners claimed to be ready for Barcelona at home pride arrested them.
Arsenal have a relatively good capital, namely a thin 2-1 victory that they get at the Emirates Stadium a few weeks ago. But because Barca have an away goal, Arsenal have not completely safe to qualify for the quarterfinals.
From the Barca camp, Dani Alves has said that his team will not stop pounding the Arsenal defense. Conversely, he also expects the gunners also do the same so that the action presented is a duel between two offensive teams.
Fit with the hope Alves, Jack Wilshere stated that there was no point in Arsenal's restraint with a total playing last. Total defensive play at the Camp Nou will not guarantee anything for Arsenal.
Conversely, if the play attack and eventually scored, Arsenal could provoke Barca to play a more open longer and add pressure to the direction of Pep Guardiola's squad.

I think that Arsenal has very few chances to qualify. I mean it is very difficult to survive Barcelona at Camp Nou and I am sure that Barca will be attacking like mad against Arsenal. I predict a clear Barcelona win, with at least two goals difference. It will be a major surprise for me anything else than a Barcelona qualification.

I agree that is very hard to qualify for the gunners in Camp Nou,and they won due to a goalkeeper mistake first leg.

@drszaby: Do you mean the goal which was scored by van Persie? This is my opinion as well, that Valdes made a mistake when he got that goal. But you have to agree that Arsenal has made very strong second half, especially the last 15 minutes.

It would be silly for Arsenal to sit back and defend against a team of Barcelona's calibre. Inviting them to attack is as good as killing yourself. Besides, Arsenal do not have the players to defend the whole match. What they should do is to play their normal game and keep it tight at the back. Concentrate and minimise those silly mistakes that their defenders and prone to make. This is important as they will not have the ball for long period of time. And when they do have, launch one of those lighting quick counter-attack. For this to happen, they should not play Diaby or Denilson. The former tends to hold the ball longer than necessary while the latter will only move the ball sideway.

I think part of the reason for this bravado is the state of their defense. I think they have one of the leakiest defense of the top teams left in the competition. I think their best bet is to score goals at Camp Nou and that is the only way they will win this tie. Fabregas has been declared 90% fit and I pretty sure he will play some part in the game. Even if he will not start, he will come off the bench in the second half.
Cheers!

It's pretty hard to predict. I prefer Arsenal to qualify. But honestly, the match won't go easy for them. As many have also support Barca that will go through the next round.
If Arsenal could just score a goal in the Nou Camp, things may be different.

this time the game is different....IN NOU CAMP they will feel the heat and I am confident that Barca will perform extra ordinary in this match......
