Strategist Pep Guardiola has no doubt that his players will bounce back after losing to London's Arsenal team.

In the first Champions League round of 16 match, the Catalans had to admit defeat to their opponents in the English capital with a score of 2-1.

"I think we played well. We lost the first match, so we have to retaliate at home," Guardiola said.

"We controlled the game for the majority of the match, but we knew that 'Arsenal' play very well in possession. Our opponents were very precise and quick in setting up fast attacks."

He added: "If we look at the result, it's not that bad. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the game. We just need to score goals at home. We will attack, attack, and attack 'Arsenal'."
