What happened
Nicklas Bendtner's early goal was soon trumped by three from Lionel Messi in the space of 22 minutes and he added a fourth late on for good measure.
Key moment
For three minutes Arsenal led the tie but then Messi's attempted pass rebounded off Mikaël Silvestre and the striker's superb finish turned the tide.
Numbers game
Messi now is the top scorer in this season's competition on eight goals and he is only the sixth player to claim four in a UEFA Champions League game.
