Agreed.

I wouldn't say they were outclassed but the difference between teams was all too evident.

Arsenal had a chance but chose to protect the lead or rather to play for a 0-0 first half which they deservedly lost. I think the tie was over when Dani Alves broke the first keeper. Messi pimped Almunia for the 1-0 lead and that was that.

Another fact that goes against Arsenal - 90 minutes of football 0 shots on goal. Well they were outclassed, no getting around actually.

Also anytime your captain makes a mistake like the one Fabregas made, your team deserves to loose. I think Arsenal cracked under Catalan pressure and who can fault them?
