Barcelona vs. Arsenal: Goals, Highlights from the Champions League

Joe GallagherMar 16, 2016

Arsenal looked to complete "mission impossible" on Wednesday night when they visited the Camp Nou in the final day of UEFA Champions League last-16 action.

Barcelona, who held a 2-0 advantage from the first leg in London, were looking to join Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Wolfsburg, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Benfica in the last eight.

David Ospina denied Lionel Messi after 17 minutes when the Argentinian brought the ball down beautifully:

But Barcelona wouldn't be denied when Neymar fired home from a Luis Suarez assist moments later:

Arsenal needed three to advance, and Mohamed Elneny gave them one five minutes after the restart:

But soon the Gunners needed three again when Suarez scored with a brilliant volleyed finish:

Danny Welbeck struck the woodwork soon after:

And Alexis Sanchez forced a great save from the goalkeeper with a free-kick:

But Messi clipped over Ospina to make it 3-1 on the night with just two minutes of normal time remaining:

That was how it ended, Barcelona marching on and Arsenal knocked out of their second competition in a week.
