Wenger slams 'naive' Gunners

Arsenal manager livid after loss to mighty Barcelona

Manager Arsene Wenger accused his Arsenal Gunners of naivety after they were pushed to the brink of another frustrating Champions League exit by Lionel Messi in Barcelona's 2-0 win at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday.

Wenger was infuriated his players failed to heed his warning to keep it tight at all costs in the last-16 first leg as Messi punished Arsenal's careless defending with a clinical 71st-minute opener.
