Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes his side will never have a better chance of defeating Barcelona than when the two sides meet on Tuesday night.
The Gunners host the European champions at the Emirates Stadium in the first leg of their round of 16 Champions League tie on Tuesday, with Barca heavy favourites to triumph.
But Wenger, who has beaten the Catalan club only once in his managerial career, feels his team can come out on top if they "have a go at them".
"It’s our best chance no matter how big the chance is," he said. "We have to take it and have a go at them. I believe in these big games, in the first tie at home, we can’t be stupid.
“Many times we’ve won away and at home we have conceded. We have to find a good balance between defending and attacking.”
