Upon their arrival, the club will bus to their hotel until this afternoon's training session at the Emirates Stadium, their final workout before the game against Arsenal. Tuesday's first leg of the Champions League last 16 is set to kick off at 8.45pm.
Besides being a former FC Barcelona star, Thierry Henry is also a legend at Arsenal, where he played from 1999 until joining the Catalans in the summer of 2007. Henry is still beloved both in London and in Barcelona and, with a wealth of information on both clubs, was the perfect subject for an interview with Barça TV and tfcbarcelona.com, in which the Frenchman talks about the keys to the coming Champions League last 16 tie between his two former teams.
In anticipation of Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League last 16 first leg versus FC Barcelona, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger valiantly discarded a gaggle of his most eminent players against second-tier side Hull City in Saturday’s FA Cup fifth-round match at KC Stadium, but the approach yielded nothing more than a scoreless draw, an unsavoury result against the lesser Hull.
When FC Barcelona meet Arsenal FC on Tuesday at 8.45pm CET, they'll also be coming up against Gunners midfielder Mikel Arteta, who coincided with Andrés Iniesta at Barça's famed La Masia youth academy. Arteta remembers his time at Barça as "the most important and beautiful of my career."
Ariedo Braida, Barcelona’s director of international football, spent the weekend in Italy, where he took in the Serie A match between Sassuolo and Empoli. Reports in Italy say Braida was at the game to watch potential Barcelona players. Three names have been mentioned: Domenico Berardi, Sime Vrsaljko and Leandro Paredes.
