Barca don’t intimidate Wenger

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is not intimidated by Barcelona and believes his young Gunners have a 50-50 chance of beating the La Liga giants in the Champions League. The north Londoners were drawn against Barca in the quarterfinals of this season’s competition on Friday. "I believe we will not be favourites but for me it will be a 50-50 game," said Wenger. "Of course they are a good side, so are we. It will be an interesting, exciting game and we have to make sure we have the belief and focus right.” For now though, Arsenal are focussing on the EPL and their clash with West Ham on Saturday. ""We have fought since August for the championship and it is important we keep our mind on what is vital to us - that is the championship, then we can go into the Champions League with the right belief,” added Wenger.
