it was an uncharacteristic Barca in the 1st half, but the Eto equalizer was IMO the turning point.

congrats, Barcelona FC, 2006 Euro Champion.

on Lehmann's sending off...
"To me it looked a red card because it was a foul outside the box and it looked to be a foul so it is very difficult to contest. But I don't think that was the most important part of the game tonight. We played well and I'm convinced we had two or three good chances to score the second goal. When you don't you know the last 20 minutes would be difficult."

on Samuel Eto'o's equaliser...
"My biggest regret is that the first goal was offside. When you are playing 10 versus 11 and you concede an offside goal it is difficult to accept. It is difficult to accept losing games on a wrong decision and I feel that something should be done about it. Apart from that I congratulate Barcelona and special congratulations to my players for their superb season and the magnificent match they played tonight."

ETO DIVED! SHOULD HAVE BEEN BOOKED FOR DIVING & LEHMANN STAY ON...
ETO WAS OFFSIDE FOR BARSA EQUALISER! REF & LINESMEN SIDED WITH BARCA ALL THE WAY! WHAT KINDA OF TACKLES THEY WERE PUTING & GETTING FREE KICKS FOR KICK AFC PLAYERS????

THEY SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE MATTER, BAN THE GUILTY OFFICIALS IF FOUND SO AND REPLAY THE FINAL!!!

AFTER THE RECENT ITALIAN MATCH FITTING SCANDAL IT DOES NOT SURPRISE ME IF KELONG WAS INVOLVED! :twisted: :twisted: :evil:

 

[fgl]

time for Henry to join Barca!!

DUN THINK HE WANNA JOIN A BUNCH OF CHEATS!!!

 

[snuffleupagus]

Come on Arsenal!

I'm proud of the boys though

 

[Indigo_blues]

KELONG. Thats all I can say. KELONG all the way.

 

[Indigo_blues]

well, the consolation is henry may be so mad that he may refuse to join barca.. that'll be rich..

they'd have to replay the whole serie A scudetto before the champions-league final then. still nows a good time to snatch Viera back.

arsenal did well man [im no gunners fan], if it was manu - barca would thrash them 3 or 4-0 hehe.

All I saw in slow mo was lehmann sliding out and Eto purposly leaving his leg on Lehmann!

 

[reyrey]

but what i saw was lehman grabbing eto's leg instead of the ball...and lehman didnt complain,coz he know that he fouled eto'o,did you see him complaining? no right? =)

 

[snuffleupagus]

Dudes No offence to anyone here,

The MAtch is over

Arsenal Lost

/but there are loads of positives to take from this loss

It was 10 men versus 11+3 in my opinion. 8O

But Arsenal fought really hard and I am VERY very very PROUD of them.

Barca won, and kudos to them, but IMHO Arsenal was the slightly better team and that is enough for me.

peace!

 

[fgl]

bro i 've been proud of AFC since 1978

peace!

they were definitely better before the Eto equalizer.

ah yes the OFF SIDE equaliser..u mean :x

 

[subversion]

despite that, if Arsenal was bent on winning, they should've done better.

is it me, or did Arsenal lose focus when it started to rain?

 

[headwan]

Subby, part of it was the rain, and part of it was that they were tired....same goes to barca against chelsea....chelsea 10 men were great till barca tired them off....and the irony is.....is the same CL Final official who sent off del horno when barca face chelsea on earlier round....is it me of is this Scandinavian viking official are against the Knight of the round table team

 

[Indigo_blues]

he's probably on barca's payroll.
