Arsena 2-2 Barcelona: The European champions are in north London tonight for this Champions League quarter-final clash. Thierry Henry makes the bench on his return to the Emirates while Cesc Fabregas starts for Arsenal
Cesc Fabregas stalks former youth team-mate Lionel Messi in the opening minutes at the Emirates. The visitors dominate the first twenty minutes but struggle to find a way past Manuel Almunia
The Spanish keeper is the only thing stands between Barcelona and the opening goal. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is denied first before Almunia makes an equally terrific save from Xavi to keep Arsenal level at half-time
With only 25 seconds on the clock in the second-half, Barcelona take the lead through Ibrahimovic. The Swedish striker lobs Manuel Almunia from Gerard Pique's long ball from the back to give the Catalans a crucial away goal
And the summer signing from Inter doubles the lead for the home side 13 minutes later. The instrumental Xavi plays a delightful lofted pass over the Arsenal defence to Ibrahimovic who controls before firing past Almunia
Substitute Theo Walcott gets the home side back into the tie with a goal three minutes after replacing Bacary Sagna. Nicklas Bendtner passes to the World Cup hopeful who squeezes a shot under the arm of Victor Valdes
Carlos Puyol is sent off for a foul on Cesc Fabregas in the penalty area five minutes from time and the penalty is awarded. The Arsenal captain steps up to convert the penalty and rescue a draw for Arsenal

Brazilian defender Maicon looks to take on CSKA's Pavel Mamaev after a tight start in Milan. Samuel Eto'o and Goran Pandev register the first chances of the game for Inter
Both sides go in at half-time level with Inter close to taking the lead. Wesley Sneijder plays a one-two with Diego Milito but fails to find the target with his effort
After 65 minutes, Miltio puts the home side ahead. Sneijder carries the ball from midfield and finds the Argentina striker who beats Igor Akinfeev with a slow drive.
