Before the match Arsenal London - FC Barcelona from Champions League, Messi made a stunning declaration. The Catalans are afraid of a 21 years old player, Theo Walcott, the young midfielder is the nightmare of Pep Guardiola's students.
"He was one of the most dangerous players I've ever played against of . Barcelona players are not easily scared, but the last time we played with Arsenal it made us worried sick. When I played on the Emirates, Barcelona controlled the game. With all due respect, Arsenal seemed like they weren't even on the field. Then Walcott came and changed the game . He saved the team by himself",said Lionel Messi.
The match that the Argentinian refers to is the match of the quarterfinal round game of the 2009/2010 Champions League's quarterfinals . Arsenal finished the match 2-2, the match played at Emirates Stadium in the company of Barcelona. Catalans dominance was obvious until the 66th minute when Walcott was introduced by Arsene Wenger on the pitch, and managed to score, and pulled the team after him , Arsenal managing to recover the difference of two goals.
Nor Pep Guardiola remembers Walcott with pleasure: "It's faster than our whole team together. When the ball is in his leg, you need a gun to stop him."
