UK Back Pages: Arsenal Run into a Barcelona Buzz Saw in the Champions League

Arsenal inevitably crashed out of the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, as their fate was all but decided when Barcelona toppled them 3-1 at the Emirates. 

But it was confirmed at the Camp Nou, as each of the feared Barcelona trident of Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi and Neymar scored. 

Even though it was largely what most people expected, it was the second competition the Gunners crashed out of in a four-day span after losing to Watford in the FA Cup on Sunday. 

As expected, Arsenal are all the back-page craze as the pressure mounts on the struggling Gunners. 

In the Star, it's "Wenger's Nightmare," and Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino is urging England national team manager Roy Hodgson not to damage the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli during the upcoming friendlies as Spurs push for a Premier League title:
