The former Blaugrana superstar believes that the Gunners will be destroyed on the break by Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar if they commit to many men forward.
Former Barcelona superstar Michael Laudrup believes a lack of pace will fatally undermineArsenal’s attempts to cause a major Champions League shock against his old side.
The Gunners will start as underdogs when they take on the reigning European champions at the Emirates Stadium in the first leg of their last-16 tie on Tuesday, despite already having beaten German titleholders Bayern Munich at home earlier in the competition.
Laudrup, who masterminded victory over Arsenal during his time as manager of Swansea City, believes the likes of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez will fill their boots if Arsene Wenger’s side overcommit to attack.
He told Goal: “I have seen Arsenal quite a few times this season. When they have a good day, they are the best team in the Premier League.
