Barça plays today to make history.

Against Arsenal, at the José Alvalade in Lisbon, Pere Romeu's team can win their fourth Champions League title in history in their fifth consecutive final.

These are some of the storylines we'll be focusing on once the ball starts rolling in Lisbon.

Is it a duel as uneven as it seems?

Although Arsenal, champions in 2007, cannot compete with the six finals and three titles that Barcelona has won in the last decade, they have the weapons to surprise.

They are aggressive in recovering possession and have the talent of Mariona Caldentey, MVP of the year in England in her new role as creator.

Their comebacks against Real Madrid and Lyon speak clearly of their competitive character.

Few doubts in the blue and red starting eleven

Romeu can form with Cata Coll; Ona Batlle, Irene Paredes, Mapi León, Rolfö; Aitana Bonmatí, Patri Guijarro, Alexia Putellas; Graham Hansen, Ewa Pajor, and Claudia Pina.

Only León, who arrives injured, or the possible entries of Brugts or Salma raise some debate about an otherwise stellar starting eleven.

Who will dominate the midfield?

Little, Caldentey, and Fox will try to stifle Barça's fluidity with aggression. Will the skill between lines of Bonmatí and Putellas and the imbalance of Graham Hansen prevail over that wall?
