The BBC didn't think Arsenal could beat Barcelona

OK, so a lot of people predicted that Arsenal wouldn't beat Barcelona in the first leg of its Champions League tie, but how many of them published absolutely nothing under a headline of "How Arsenal can beat Barcelona" before the match? Only the BBC.

Considering Arsenal ended up winning 2-1 thanks to a fantastic second half and Lionel Messi being replaced by his inept (by impossible Messi standards) twin brother, that's looking less like a clever goof-up and more like a rather unfortunate result of twitchy publishing fingers.
