How Arsenal can cause Barcelona problems in the Champions League last 16
Arsene Wenger's side have drawn Barcelona for the last 16 in the Champions League
 
ARSENAL can cause Barcelona problems when they meet next year.
 
The Gunners were drawn with Barcelona for the last 16 of the Champions League after finishing second in Group F.
Arsenal needed a final game win over Olympiakos - beating the Greeks 3-0 - after stuttering at the start of the group.
But Barcelona director Albert Soler believes Arsenal can get at the European champions.
 
"Arsenal and Barca have a very similar system of play. I'm convinced the fans will enjoy the football," Soler said.
"The way we understand football is the same. They will be two great games. 
"As always, we have the utmost respect. I'm sure we'll have some problems playing against them, so let's wait and see.

"There will be 180 minutes of football, we have to play two games and we'll see where that takes us.
"We hope to have all our players available to ensure the show is a good one."
He added: "Barca are used to playing under pressure, we're the reigning champions and that gives you pressure and an advantage. 
"Given that I don't believe the past affects the future, we'll go game by game and result by."
