Barcelona have almost put one foot in the quarter-final tie after steering away to a 2-0 victory against Arsenal in the first leg at the Emirates in London a fortnight ago.


Arsenal are heading towards another exit in the Round of 16 in over six years, and for progression a miracle is required in Spain tonight. Arsene Wenger's side have never managed to progress into the next round at the expense of Barcelona, having faced them eight times, winning only once and losing five.


Barcelona had overcome Arsenal at the same stage last time they met in 2011, and also beat them twice earlier in 1999 (Group Stage) and 2010 (Quarters) respectively.


Arsenal come from an exit at the hands of Watford in the FA Cup quarter-finals and could see their progression end here too.


Here is all you need to know about the second leg tie.


Likely Line-ups:


Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Dani Alves, Mathieu, Javier Mascherano, Jordi Alba; Sergio Busquets, Ivan Rakitic, Andres Iniesta; Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Neymar.


Arsenal: David Ospina; Hector Bellerin, Per Mertesacker, Laurent Koscielny, Nacho Monreal; Elemy, Francis Coquelin; Theo Walcott, Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez; Olivier Giroud.
