Watching the game live this morning at 2.35am and writing this while the game is going on. Lehmann sent off in the 17th min and lucky not to concede a penalty too!!! But 10 man Arsenal take the lead in the 36th min thru Sol Campbell's header off a Thierry Henry freekick. A flurry of Barca attacks towards of the first half sees them hit the post. Halftime... will Arsenal hang on? Interesting statistic... Barca has never won a final in Europe against English opposition.
The second half sees Barca impotent in front of goal with Arsenal showing some brilliance when attacking until Eto scores in the 75th min. Belletti shocks the Gunners in the 80th min... Arsenal had 15 mins to hang on for a famous win.
Thierry Henry to Barca? I think so. Saw him after the game... hugging and whispering to several Barca players *sigh*
Football can be such a cruel game.
