Champions League Final Review

Barcelona 2-1 Arsenal

Key Moments:

Lemman sending off: Can't really argue against this, the ref should have played on to allow Barcelona the goal, we were lucky he didn't. With only 10 men we played too deep and there was never any support on the counter attacks.

Campbell goal: It looked to me like Eboue dived for the free kick. I was disapointed at this as it looked like he could have created a good opportunity. Saying that, Barca didn't put a man on the post and we're pusnish.

Eto'o hits the post: A great save although it looked like he hit the post outright.

Half Time: We got to half time 1-0 in and defending well. It was feeling like the Parma game in 94, I thought we had a good chance of doing it if we continued to defend well.

Larson substitution: Larsson turned the game, until then Barca had only really created half chances, but Larson had a hand in both goals.

Henry missed chance: Through on goal, Henry hits a pour shot straight at the keeper, we had to take our chances.

Eto'o goal: Silly defending let Eto'o in too easily and Almunia got beaten on his near post, which no goalie should ever be guilty of.

Belletti goal: Once again slack defending and awful goalkeeping. To be honest, when they equalised it was all over from that moment as heads dropped and the tiredness really kicked in.

In summary, Im disapointed. This was our biggest game, our greatest chance and a sending off and silly mistakes cost us the game. Henry had two great chances and had he put them away we could have come away with the trophy. Larson changed the game when he came on, I didn't really see much of Ronaldino or Eto'o, I thought we contained them well.
