WENGER: BARCA TIE IS 50-50

Arsène Wenger believes his side shock Champions League experience with Barcelona 50-50.

The Gunners clash "with the Governor of Barcelona is probably the resumption of relations with the leader of the Spanish Quarter-Go Titans v Arsenal Emirates Stadium before the trip to Camp Nou for the second leg.

Barcelona is the favorite to win this season's competition, but Wenger believes his young team has a good chance to beat the governor.

"I think we are the favorites, but for me it will be a 50-50 game," Wenger said. "This is how we considered.

"Obviously this is a good team, too.

"This is an interesting, exciting game and we must ensure we have the faith and focus on the law.

"When the quarter-finals of the Champions League you play a good team and Barcelona is a good team and it is."

Wenger, meanwhile urged his side to focus on the conflict between Barcelona in the background and focus on the game on Saturday with West Ham in their battle for the Premier League.

"Otherwise, I think it played much more important for West Ham as Barcelona pull focus," said Wenger.

"Since August we were fighting for the championship and it is important that we keep our eyes what is important for us - it's the championship, then we can proceed in the Champions League with the right belief.

"The game at West Ham is the next game in football and for the next game of your life.

"When we talk instead of West Ham to Barcelona, where we show we have matured and we are smart can be."
