He said: "They [Arsenal] are a very good team. They've caught us on two counter-attacks and caused us a lot of damage. We were better, but they hurt us on the counter. Advantage "We didn't deserve this result. The scoreline, when we were 1-0 up, should have been bigger looking at the chances we had. But Arsenal are a great team and took advantage of their opportunity. "[But] we have a team to get through. We will be ready for the day." Barca keeper Victor Valdes, who was beaten twice late on by Robin van Persie and Andrey Arshavin, is also confident that Pep Guardiola's side can turn things around on home soil. He said: "We had the game under control, but they took advantage of their chances well. "There's still the second leg and we have faith that things will turn out in our favour. It's possible in our stadium. We are confident that it will all work out for us." http://tinyurl.com/4kfe3yv（Sun） Xavi said: "It was a shame because, during the game, we felt much superior to Arsenal. "It was worse than last year because we actually lost. We played good football." Barca could have wrapped up a quarter-final spot had World Player of the Year Lionel Messi taken his chances. Xavi added: "We could have killed off the tie but we lacked the finishing touch. "They took full advantage of their weapons. Nevertheless we were superior without taking advantage of our endless chances. "In the end you pay the price. The result is so unfair but we are confident at the Nou Camp and, although we have to respect Arsenal a lot, we are optimistic." http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/feb/17/cesc-fabregas-arsenal-barcelona Xavi, the Barcelona midfielder maintained that his side were superior. "I thought we had a fantastic attitude, we played very well and we were true to our personality," he said. "It wasn't to be but there is time to turn it round. Because of their goals, they will feel happier than us but I think we were much [the] better [team]." --
