Arsenal fought back from two goals down to earn a 2-2 draw in the first leg of their Champions League quarter final with Barcelona at the Emirates Stadium.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored two goals in second half of the game with both an excellently taken goals before Arsenal's substitute Theo Walcott scored a goal for the hosts.
Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas will miss the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Barcelona after being booked in the first-half at the Emirates Stadium.
The captain was shown a yellow card for a challenge on Sergio Busquets in the 43rd minute, and reported that he debated about the decision with the referee as the two teams left the pitch at half time.
Puyol fouled Cesc Fabregas and gave away a penalty in the 83rd minute and was shown a red card. Fabregas later scored a penalty to level the tie to give the Gunners some hope in the second leg.
But Barcelona will be in much more trouble because will be fighting without their first choice centre back pairing of Carlos Puyol and Gerard Pique for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final due to suspension.
