Darijo Srna: Arsenal are Better than Barcelona

Shakhtar Donetsk defender Darijo Srna insists that Arsenal are better than Barcelona at the moment.

The Ukrainian club travel to play the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium in a Champions League game between the two sides.

Shakhtar have played Barca twice in the last two seasons – in the Champions League and the European Super Cup – and the defender believes that their current opponents are a cut above the Catalan crop.

“They are a very quick squad whose offensive players are really strong and aggressive,” Srna told The Sun. “I would say they are performing even better than FC Barcelona now.

“But we are also a good squad with strong players. Shakhtar always create lots of attacks but, perhaps, there will be less offensive action here in London.”
