Champions League: Wenger Boys Lifeline

You've got to love Arsene Wenger. He's like a little wizard tinkering away on experiments in football, while all around him cast doubt and criticise. In tonights hugely entertaining match against champions, Barcelona FC, you could say the wizards' boys largely redeemed their creator.

Arsenal managed the improbable by equalling Barcelona's away tally, 2-2. I say improbable because the first half was an onslaught, with only one team hammering away for goals that never came: Barca.
When asked about being outplayed by the Catalan giants for large parts, Wenger returned with this classic:

          "It's not easy, believe me, but you respect it more than when you've been kicked."
