There is little doubt that people will blame the referee for the outcome of the game, and I'll admit that he made some rather bad decisions but he can't be blamed for Henry missing several golden chances to extend Arsenals lead.
The gunners played a very good game, but it was always going to be hard playing a man down against Barcalona - world class players create chances, and they took them.
It'll be interesting to see if Henry stays in England next season. If he doesn't, I can't see Arsenal challenging for a champions league place. The team is built around him, and although the young players like Van Persie have tallent, they don't have anybody capable of filling Henry's shoes yet.
