Arsenal's Champions League dream was ended by Barcelona

Arsenal crashed out of the Champions League after a quarter-final defeat to Barcelona.

Lionel Messi helped himself to four goals in a 4-1 win as Arsenal's Champions League dream was ended by Barcelona in the Nou Camp. Nicklas Bendtner had fired the Gunners into a shock lead on 18 minutes. However, Messi soon drew the hosts level after capitalising on a mistake by Mikael Silvestre.
The Argentina forward then added a second from close range. He then dashed clear to make it 3-1 - and 5-3 on aggregate - just before the break, and grabbed a fourth with three minutes left. Barca will now meet Inter Milan in the last four after the Italian club eased into the semis with a comfortable 1-0 win (2-0 aggregate) at CSKA Moscow.
