These first leg games have traditionally been quite cagey affairs however in recent years we have seen an increased tempo and more attacking approach from the away teams. The all important away goal is critical in these two legged affairs so Barcelona and CSKA Moscow will both be trying to hit on the break quickly and efficiently tonight.

There are multiple sub-plots unfolding in the run up to, and likely to evolve during this game. The fixture is a rematch of the 2006 final between these two great sides. Barca memorably won that game by 2 goals to 1 after Lehmann’s sending off. In addition to this Thierry Henry will be returning to face his old team and manager. Conversely Arsenal’s talismanic captain Cesc Fabregas will be facing off against his boyhood club, and playing against his childhood friends.
