Former Manchester City defender, Micah Richards, has predicted that Arsenal would ‘batter’ Barcelona if they met in the UEFA Champions League semi-final.
Richards stated this while speaking on The Rest Is Football following the conclusion of the Champions League Round of 16 second-leg matches played in mid-week.
Arsenal and Barcelona will face each other in the Champions League semi-final stage if they both win their quarter-final games against Sporting CP and Atletico Madrid, respectively, next month.
“If Barcelona played that high line against Arsenal, Arsenal would absolutely batter them,” Richards said.
Arsenal have yet to lose a match in the Champions League so far this season, while Barcelona has been beaten during the group stage in the past.
