Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner has revealed he is back to his best and ready to pose problems tou00a0 Barcelona's defence when the sides meet at Camp Nou for the second leg of theiru00a0 Champions League last 16 tie.
The Dane did not hesitate to take his chance to shine by grabbing a hat-trick in Arsenal's 5-0 demolition of Leyton Orient in Wednesday night's FA Cup replay.
While the Danish striker has not always been in red-hot form and has caused frustration in the stands, he is favourite to play against the Catalan giants after Robin van Persie was ruled out with injury.
"Can I lead the line against Barcelona? Of course," Bendtner told The London Evening Standard.
"I'm now getting back to where I belong and there are still improvements to come.
"To score again there is the dream scenario. We have to take our chances because Barcelona always score when they play at home," he said.
