Neymar with a great chance!

Walcott runs into the area, cuts it back to Vidal, no shooting opportunities for him, so gives it to Neymar. Tries the classic 'Henry finesse shot' from the left side of the box, but curls it wide. Waste.

WILSHERE YOU FACKING CAAAAAAAAANT!

Neymar plays him in, 1 on 1 with Valdez. He's on his right foot, so checks onto his left and finesses it just wide! More confidence on your right foot Jack!

Note to self: don't panic when 1 on 1!

God damnit, looking at the replay, wilshere cold have just sweatied it to Chamberlain.

VIDAL SCOREEEEES!

Neymar plays him in, would be 1 on 1, but Pique is harrying his pasty ass. Valdez rushes out, but Vidal runs it past him. Angle is tight, but Vidal just squeezes it home.

1-1

Messi tries an ambitious chip from a tight angle, fairly close to goal. Close but no cigar. Almost impossible to score that, but if anyone should try, it would be the FIFA 2013 Ballon d'oR winner.

Jenkinson having an excellent game.

Vidal

Your commentary has made me want you to win now

FIFA, seriously wtf?

Pedro receives it in space, plays fabregas in, who tries the 'henry curler' from the left. Shezny saves, it comes out to wilshere, who has time to clear, but before he can, VIDAL who I have no control over, bustles into Wilshere and the ball goes into the goal,

Seriously, on top of getting the agg. score wrong and these two jammy goals, I might just restart this game.

looking at the replay, it's as if vidal thinks wilshere is a barca player and tries to tackle him.

BUT ARSENAL SCORE! RIGHT ON HALF TIME!!!!

It's clear to all that Barca are paying the ref, but does Neymar care? HELL NOOOOO!

Very individual goal, Goetze plays it to the Brazilian wonderkid in space, he has Pigue to beat, but pure pace sets Neymar in on goal. He lashes it past Valdez.

Game on

[Love how open these games v Barca are. Makes a change from facing a 4 man wall every game. Proper game of football.]

OMFGG.

Chamberlain wins a corner by intercepting a weak Alves pass and testing the keeper. Goetze plays it short to Walcott, who ghosts into the area, plays it back to the Ox, who hammers it home from the centre of the area, off Valdez' right hand post!!!!

HT.

Stats suggest Barca have been completely outplayed, but they have had their moments.

Barca

5 shots, 2 on target.

Arsenal

9 shots, 6 on target.

51% possession

Oh and

2-3 at HT, 4-5 on aggregate.

Can Arsenal hold on? The Gunners manager suspects ultra attacking in the second half from Barca. Will need to give a calming team talk at the break.

NEYMAR MAKES IT 4-2!!!!!!!

It's ping pong in the centre of the park, but it pops out to Wilshere who gives it to passes to Neymar with his back to goal. It looks as if Mascherano will hammer it clear, but Neymar is close by and puts him off! He nicks it from Mascherano, 360's his way past Pique and finesses it with his left foot past the despairing keeper!

FKKKKK.

Fabregas makes it 4-3!

Messi has a shot form the edge of the box, it's blocked by Subotic, and falls right into the path of the former Arsenal skipper. He makes no mistake as he finesses it home.

3-4 to Arsenal.

5-6 to Arsenal on aggregate. Half an hour to play...

Just as in the first leg, Podolski replaces Pedro, this time on 67 minutes.

Can he crush the dreams of his former team mates?

THE OX MAKES IT 3-5 to Arsenal!!!!!

Top, top quality goal here, Goetze rolls it past Song in the middle, and plays it to Neymar. Nothing on here, so he chips it over Alves to the onrushing Chamberlain.

The young Englishman still has a lot to do, he chests it down on the left side of the box, onto his foot and skips round Alves. He then finesses it into Valdez'bottom left corner.

IT'S OVER!!! ARSENAL HAVE DEFIED THE ODDS!!!

5-7 on aggregate What a night!

This reminds me I have to play Barca in my CL group along with Twente and Galatasaray.

Some post-match reaction from Arsene Wenger:

"Uhhhh, I felt we played well, I believe that Neymar especially had a fantastic game. I would like to send a message to my real-life counterpart that uhhhhh spending money is ze only way forward, and that zis project he is embarking on is a fallacy.

I felt in the first leg we played a little bit with ze handbrake off, but today you could see the mental strength of my players".

On whether he will be making any signings...

"People forget we still have Lewandowski out with a broken ankle. He will be like a new signing".

Well my game isn't nearly as exciting as that. The last game I played was an easy Carling Cup 3rd round win at home against Charlton.

Arsenal weathered a storm in that second half.

Barca ended with 17 shots, 7 on target, although still only had 49% possession.

Arsenal with a respectable tally of 11 shots, 8 on target.

Jesus. Madrid beat Liverpool with an aggregate score of 5-0 in the other semi final. A good game awaits

Might sell Lewandowski actually, his form has been patchy this year. Neymar is great.
