| Jordi Alba fears Arsenal attack ahead of Champions League clash |
BARCELONA star Jordi Alba is expecting a difficult Champions League last 16 battle against Arsenal.
Arsene Wenger's side paid the price for not topping their group by drawing the holders, a side Arsenal have beaten just once in seven meetings.
But Barca left-back Alba is refusing to take anything for granted due to the quality of attacking options Wenger has at his disposal.
“They’re a very complicated opponent who from midfield to the forwards have players who are very good with the ball,” he told Marca.
“I’m sure they’ll make things difficult. Every year is different but this time it will be made more complicated by the players Arsenal have.”

Meanwhile Arsenal secretary David Miles said on the draw: "If you ask Arsenal fans, this is probably the tie we least wanted against Barcelona.
"The last few times we've played them they've always had the upper hand, so maybe this is the right time to turn the tables and beat them."
