me be round Lublin :wink:

It's the final I've dreamed about since the beginning. Now I just wanna see fascinating spectacle, no matter who wins.

Barca played great football despite having the advantage; nicely done (y)
I think it'll be a nice final, but I won't expect too much from Arsenal. Barca is just too skilled, too solid and too 'together'..

My dream final would have had Barca up against Man Ud (or even Real Madrid.)

Barca is too good.
If Arsenal can't beat Barca, they don't have a chance to play in Champions League again next season.
lol.. I hope Arsenal isn't 2nd Liverpool...

Congrats to Barca :applaud:
This was great game. And I think the winner was decided at 18 minute, when Lehmann got red card.

Wow, great game by both sides, but the better team won. Kind of sad on Lehmans red card though, as it would have been nice too see both teams get at each other without any real advantage against the other; oh well, I'm pretty sure Barca would have won it in the end anyways.

Also, what a great way for Henrik Larsson to end his oversea professional career (he's coming back to the Swedish league this summer). Both his assists were great, and I think he showed what great vision and what a great player he still is at his age.

Larsson had two key assists in that one and both finishes were exceptional. I disagree with the commentator who said the scond one could have been saved had the goalie closed his feet all the way but I would never advise a goalie to rush a player that way, both sides would have been open and its harder to move laterally to save it. It was just a nicely placed shot. The goal Eto'o was pretty lucky too since the deflection could have went anywhere put the power kept it on course.

Congrats Barca, I am happy. Now I will go play some Winning Eleven. (y)

I hope Henry makes the move to Barca.

What a pitty... damn
Congratulations to Barca of course

I'd like to add the quotation that someone found on the bottle of carrot juice during his school final exam: "Not today, not tomorrow, maybe in years time" :| :?

Oh yes I do(y). I already have him lined up on my Winning Eleven squad.

Anyways, I havent watched the entire match yet but its recorded so later I'll settle in to relive the glory. I only watched part of the second half. I'm surprised at how Arsenal are whining about the refs? They claim the refs cost them the game. I think they should relax. Yes they were up 1-0 but it coulda easily been the other way around had the ref called play-on when Eto'o was fouled. Guily would have put them clear in the lead. Oh well. Could have, would have, should have. Time to move on Thierry.

Henry will make the move to play with ronaldinho. I see how Thierry could easily fit with barcelona.

He sounded pretty bitter after the loss talking about how Ronaldinho and Eto'o had no real impact on the match. Barca might have created a rivalry which may lead him away from them.

Just got around to this article even though its a day old but apparently Arsene Wenger doesnt stand for cheating. He blasted Emmanuel Eboue for his diving antics which gave Arsenal a free kick that lead to their only goal. Nice move on his part.
