Champions League Final - Arsenal v Barcelona

Raskolnikov

Henry one on one with the keeper again!

This has to be one of the worst Barcelona performances I've ever seen.

The subs have made the difference.

2-1 Belletti. His first ever goal for BArca. What a time to score it.

Raskolnikov

Once again Larsson assists, like I said, why didn't Beletti start?

LegacyUser

Now they turn on the style....passing it around, Arsenal won't even get a sniff now. Game, set and match for Barcelona.

Not by Arsenal fans he won't. If it wasn't for him we wouldn't have even made the final.

The Ref will be though !!! What a bloody muppet, ruined the game !!!!

Not a secret anymore

Doodee

i hope arsenal equalize, i cant stand that pissy passing timewasting.

All action! make it a final!

LegacyUser

It's not timewasting. Why should they risk their lead in a once off cup final match when they can just pass it around? it's called intelligence.

Rijkaard is the best coach in the world.

PHB

The Ref will be though !!! What a bloody muppet, ruined the game !!!!

Indeed, he gave Arsenal the impetus to sit back and relax.

If it hada been a red card and a goal, as it should have been, Arsenal woulda still had to attack.

Arsenal have gotten everything they deserved from this game.
Their goal was from a dive.
They shoulda lost their goalie and a goal.
They time wasted.

Barca waited, and waited, and even gave Arsenal chances to finish it off, but they didn't deserve it, and the footballing gods have finally acted justly.

Doodee

its a final. if they really are the best in europe they should be able to show it,

Doodee

thats more like it. guily attacking. that makes them the creme de la creme

county

hard luck arsenal

gandalf

Well done to Barca, they deserved it.

That ref should be struck off he ruined us all the chance to see these great two footballing teams play each other as equals. An absolute disgrace!!!

PiE

Utter letdown of a CL final but with or without the Lehmann sending off, I still reckon Barca would have done it... albeit maybe in a more watchable fashion.

Mushy

Hard luck to Arsenal alright. Think Barca deserved it aswell though

Raskolnikov

Fair play to Barcelona, was glad to see Larsson's two assists changing the game, proving he really is a top class player.

mike65

Bad luck Arsenal, Henry really should have put that 1 on 1 chance away and Barcas attack was'nt that brilliant tbh.

Mike.

PiE

Henry's not bitter at all.

PHB

HAHAHAH, Henry is hilarious.

'But I'm not a woman, so I stay on my feet'

****ing hell

Giving credit to Larsson, good for him

well after that mistake they made in '99 when the left early, they had to get something right, eh?

Arsenal did very well and i thought they did deserve it, unlucky. thought almunia could have done better for the two goals, Cole played very well and really showed some spirit and Ljunberg played well too. although henry missed too many chances.

Henry seemed to be getting a hard time off the barca players, talking to from valdes and someone else, and just before the 2nd half kick off ronaldinho said something to him he wasnt happy about. Could well see him turning down barca from tonight.

Eto'o played well and i can see why he is one of the top strikers in the world.

anyway congrats to barca.

zAbbo

Thats no way to lose a Final and you can tell from Henry's interview now.

Woeful Referee.

Zebra3

Barcelona-Champions of Europe.

There IS justice in football.

A Dub in Glasgo

YYYEEEESSSS

Barcelona totally deserved that. Larsson... what a player he is. The perfect professional

Andy Gray is the most bitter commentator I know. It was not the ref that 'ruined' the game with the sending off, it was Lehman who done that by pulling down Eto'o when he rounded him. In fact, advantage should have been played and Barcelona goal should have stood then Lehman should have been sent off. As for the Arsenal goal, that was the most blatent dive I have seen for the freekick.

Football won tonight
