Barcelona Crowned European Champions

Posted on May 17, 2006 by The Gaffer

Alas, it wasn’t Arsenal or England’s night tonight as Barcelona won the Champions League Final 2-1 with two late goals.

Highlights of the match included Henry’s dazzling run down the left wing which left Puyol and Marquez looking like amateurs.

At the end of the day, it was Arsenal reserve goalkeeper Almunia who gifted the match to the team from Catalonia making two basic goalkeeping errors.

Now, it’s time to look forward to the World Cup which is less than 28 days away.
