Cesc Fabregas wants Arsenal v Barcelona Champions League final
Cesc Fabregas says he is desperate to avoid Barcelona in Friday's Champions League draw - because he wants to save them for the final.
The Arsenal midfielder, 20, admits that he has an "extra incentive" to beat former team-mate Thierry Henry after losing to Barcelona in the final two years ago.
Fabregas said: "We'd like to avoid them at this stage and save them for the final after what happened in Paris two seasons ago.
"But if we do draw them then we know we will have a big extra incentive to beat them and we believe we could do it."
Fabregas has also revealed that his "ideal coach" is Arsene Wenger and admitted he would be perfect for his ex-club
Barcelona. But Fabregas says he cannot envisage leaving Arsenal.
Fabregas added: "If I was at Barcelona then I'd recommend they sign Wenger as coach. He's the best coach I have ever had and the longer I stay with him the more I'll learn. I want to carry on learning and if it's besides Wenger, all the better.
"I'd rather not think of what might have become of me had I stayed at Barca - but I don't regret leaving because I'm at a fantastic club with great team-mates and coach.
"When I was at Barca I wasn't promoted within the youth team and was never included in the first-team training sessions - it was demoralising."

it will be great if arsenal stop their double title ambition.but i rather arsenal play barca than playing these english teams as we have to play them for bpl too. 3 games will let these opponents expose our weaknesses further.

Liverpool is in good form to play champion league games,with Arsenal playing 3 times with them in a week,i am afraid Arsenal will drop point in premier league game too.At the end,Arsenal might not get anything.:(

Arsenal face Liverpool in Europe
Arsenal will meet Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the Champions League after they were paired together in Friday's draw in Nyon, Switzerland.
Arsene Wenger's side will play the first leg at home on 1/2 April, with the return leg at Anfield on 8/9 April.
Manchester United, who beat Lyon to reach the last eight, were drawn against Real Madrid's conquerors Roma.
Chelsea, the fourth English club in the draw, face Fenerbahce, with Schalke 04 and Barcelona the other fixture.
The winners of the Arsenal-Liverpool showdown will then take on Chelsea or Fenerbahce in the semi-finals, while Manchester United or Roma were drawn against Barcelona or Schalke 04.
The legs for the last-four ties will take place on 22/23 April and 29/30 April.
It means if Chelsea overcome Fenerbahce in their quarter-final, England will be guaranteed a presence in the final in Moscow on 21 May.
However, Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry could barely hide his disappointment at having to play the Gunners, saying: "We'd hoped to avoid an English team but an all-English tie was bound to happen and it's happened to us. At least we've avoided a trip to Turkey.
"We're also playing Arsenal in the league in between the quarter-final legs so that will be interesting. I don't think there will be any surprises for either side in those games.
CHMPIONS LEAGUE ODDS*10/3 Man Utd11/4 Barcelona7/2 Chelsea5-1 Arsenal6-1 Liverpool11/1 Roma33/1 Schalke40/1 Fenerbahce"We'll take each match as it comes but, of course, we've noticed we might also face another English side (Chelsea) in the last four as well."
Arsenal managing director Keith Edelman added: "I think we'd have preferred European competition.
"Liverpool are a great team and are fantastic in this competition and, with three games against them in a week, I'm sure the tactics in each tie will be under close scrutiny."
"It should make for compelling viewing and, after the way we played against AC Milan, we must have a lot of belief that we can go all the way."
Meanwhile, Manchester United club secretary Ken Ramsden said: "It's a good draw for us, I think. As a fan, I'm happy we're playing continental opposition and we have a good record against them too.
"I'm sure the manager will also be happy that we're playing at home in the second leg so we're content with that."
Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon was equally happy to have avoided an English side in the draw, adding: "I'm delighted.
"There are no easy draws at this stage but we wanted to avoid an English side and we've done that.
"Despite a couple of disappointing results of late, we've complete confidence in the team and coaching staff to ensure we have a good end to the season."

two years ago, we knock out 9-times champion Real Madrid;last match, we knock out 7-times champion AC Milan;

agree x 2! maybe wenger can use chelsea trick by using a tall player like drogba to mark him.adebayor might be a good choice to mark crouch in the box.
