Two perfectly different and awesome examples why;
Messi, the Messiah doing what he does best - brilliance.
Even if you don't like football/soccer you should watch this clip anyway. The sound effects alone make it a worthy replay.
That's what I call a good 'tackle'.

Arsenal should've gone through, Van Persie's sending off was complete bullshit, it was a home crowd decision.

No, they should not have.
Don't get me wrong, as a Chelsea fan I know first hand how Barcelona get all the decisions, not just at home either.
And I do agree that Van Persies sending off was a complete joke.
However; Arsenal played fucking terrible. Even before they lost Van Persie, they had no shots on target, no shots off, they were just getting completely overplayed all over the pitch. Their goal was a lovely header! But an own goal. It was lucky. They couldn't create anything themselves.
Had Van Persie stayed on, I still don't imagine it would have made much difference. Maybe it would have gone to extra time, but the same team would have gone through.
Barcelona were class.
