Although Theo Walcott played a significant role in Arsenal’s fight back in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Barcelona, the Catalan giants are not getting too worried about the young Englishman’s threat in tonight’s match at the Camp Nou.

"It may be really good for him to run 100 metres in a little over ten seconds, but the aim (in football) is to get to the goal," said defender Eric Abidal on Fifa.com. "We’ll wait there for him and we’ll see what he can do with the ball – let’s see if he can get past four defenders."

Walcott scored the first goal of Arsenal’s comeback back in The Emirates, and is looking to make a similar impact, as his side attempt to defy the odds and upset holders Barcelona tonight.
