UCL Final - Barcelona vs Arsenal (p+r)
- Thread starter PaPaGeorGeo

i can't understand how in these days, when technology got everywhere and football is a massive international business etc etc, we still get linesmen that weight that much 
.
This match was almost ruined by crap referees and crappy diving. I can't wait for technology to be brought in the game, too many matches have been ruined by human mistakes in recent football history (remember wc2002.....). I mean, cmon, we have a flying camera that moves around the pitch at 50 m alt but the refs don't get video assistance? bah!

I saw plenty of Ronaldinho. Yeah, he struggled but he was involved in every Barca attack.
Arsenal played 15 good first mintues. The goal came out of nothing. Nice dive Eboue. On the other hand you got Arsenal fans complainin that Barca were divin too much.
On the whole, Arsenal did not deserve to win this game. They started great, yes, but Barca owned the field today.
Man of the match - Henrik.
Lehman - anti-football..

Well, finally, after 2 years, the favorite actually wins the CL. No-one believed when Porto managed to get to the final and actually win it, and Liverpool's turnaround against Milan was out of this World. Not this time though.
Barça did their business. Congratulations Barça, and well played Arsenal. Beating Barça with eleven men is quite hard, with one man less, it's just too hard.

Wow... Larsson is amazing, :Bow: Great seeing him with this great accompilshment right at the end of his Career before his last season. A good game, the Ref changed it all and he stole the show, but IMO Barca would have won anyways. good game, good final
Congrats Barca!

Henry's Interview
Arsenal captain Thierry Henry was far from happy with the referee after Arsenal's UEFA Champions League final defeat to Barcelona.
After having Jens Lehmann sent off early in the first half, Arsenal went ahead through Sol Campbell.
But second half strikes from Samuel Eto'o and Juliano Belletti handed the Catalan giants victory.
Henry refused to blame match referee Terje Hauge for defeat, but he was less than pleased with his performance.
"I think we can be proud of ourselves and I don't want to start any arguments, but I don't know whether the referee had a Barcelona shirt on or something - in the first half they kicked me all over the place," he told Sky Sports.
"They are not used to the pace of The Premiership or maybe the desire, I thought they were harsh - I told the ref, 'If you don't want us to win it, just tell us from the start.'
"I don't think he cost us the final, you can't say that because we were one-nil up, and you know against a team like Barcelona - doing what we did for a very long time was more than difficult, but on the other side - next time I might learn how to dive maybe, they tried to kick me in my knee, from behind on my ankle but I am not a woman so I try and stay on my feet - but I always expect the ref to do his job, but today he didn't.
"At the end of the day they [Barcelona] can be happy, but we have played at ten for the whole game."
Henry insists that Swedish legend Henrik Larsson changed the game as he had a hand in both Barca goals.
"People always talk about Ronaldinho, and everything but I didn't see him today - I saw Henrik Larsson," he said.
"Two times he came on - he changed the game, that is what killed the game - sometimes you talk about Ronaldinho and Eto'o and people like that, you need to talk about the proper footballer who made the difference and that was Henrik Larsson tonight because I didn't see no Ronaldinho or no Eto'o or a proper referee also."
The French international again refused to be drawn on his future.
"I said I didn't think about it, I will start to think about it tonight," he said.
"I am just upset about the match we did - I can't complain about Jens's sending off, I am sure if you look at the game again Puyol should have got a yellow card, so many times Marquez came from behind to take my ankle and he didn't get a yellow card and I am sure if you are playing against me with a yellow card it is not the same game anymore.
"But we can be proud of what we did, I am upset for the Arsenal fans who came - but at the end of the day we made ourselves proud and the English game proud and I am a just a bit strange, but you know that is how it is."

I hope Henry doesnt leave Arsenal(Unless hes coming to Utd), He is a lengend there and will be hated if he moves to Barcelona. The only reason that I would leave its if Arsenal dont make moves this summer. They need some to replace Viera and get some all ready great players If not Henry should leave..but no for Arsenal Chelsea or Madrid...Maybe Liverpool...I dont hate them so much
