FC BARCELONA 2 - 1 ARSENAL

 

 

Akala ko matatalo Barcelona. Ang malas ni Ronaldinho.

 

Ang galing ng strategy ni Rijkaard. Pinagod nila and defense ng Arsenal hanggang sa bumigay. 2 goals in less than 6 mins!!!! Good work Larsson!!!

 

 

Goodbye, Henry! if you can't beat them, join them!!!!

bad move for arsene wegner in inserting sol campbell in the lineup beside kolo toure...

 

before campbell went down due to injuries and psychological dilemma and miss a good part of the champions league... the pair conceded two goals...

 

but when philippe senderos was sent to pair up with toure... the result was brilliant as the duo didn't allow a single goal to be scored eversince...

Barca triumph in Paris

 

Barcelona came back from a goal down to beat 10-man Arsenal 2-1 to win the Champions League final at the Stade de France. Late goals from Samuel Eto'o and substitute Juliano Belletti cancelled out a first-half header from Arsenal defender Sol Campbell. Arsenal became the first side ever to have a player sent off in a final when keeper Jens Lehmann was dismissed early on.

its not good when you just lost the Champions League final and you hear....

 

'I should have waited'

 

Referee Terje Hauge has admitted he may have acted too hastily in sending off Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann in the Champions League final against Barcelona. 'I would have liked to have taken a few more seconds before I made my decision,' he said.

badtrip yung isang announcer nung CL final,crybaby,paulit2x na nirereklamo yung red card ni Lehmann, legitimate red card nman tlga, dahil siguro English siya & sympathetic siya sa Arsenal..feeling ko kung Barsa ang nareduce sa ten men, hindi siya magrreklamo ng todo gaya nung ginagawa niya nun..

 

Badtrip nga si Thierry Henry after nung game nung interverview nya, san kya siya lilipat? ang balita sa European media, Barcelona na punta niya next year..hmm, katakot Barsa nun, super offense..

 

Lakas din ng Chelsea next season, power midfield, Ballack&Lampard..

 

Tapos pag nakabili na ng midfielders ang ManU, pwede na ulit lumaban for EPL&CL..

 

Exciting ang CL nito next season..

Henry will stay at HighburyWritten by: Graham Riley

 

http://www.soccerway.com/news/2006/may/19/...tay-at-highbury

 

LONDON, May 19 (SW) - Thierry Henry has finally put paid to all the rumours and speculation about his future, by announcing he is about to sign a new 4 year deal with Arsenal.

 

The 28-year-old French international’s contract was due to run out next year, leading to much speculation that he may be leaving Highbury. Recent reports had linked him with a move to Barcelona, but Henry today spoke of his love for both the Gunners and the fans.

 

"I hope to stay as long as I can keep running. I couldn't leave the fans. They're like family," he said.

 

FACTFILE OF A LIVING LEGEND

 

Thierry Daniel Henry is a product of the French Football Federation's academy at Clairefontaine, and whilst playing for FC Versailles at the tender age of 13 years Henry was spotted by talent scouts at AS Monaco and signed to the club. He was 17 when he made his professional debut, under the guidance of one Arsène Wenger, on August 31 1996 against Nice.

 

In November 1997 he made his international debut for ‘Les Bleus’ against South Africa and one year later played a major role in helping France lift the 1998 World Cup. After his impressive displays during the tournament, Henry left Monaco for Juventus in January 1999 for £14 million.

 

But he was unsettled in Italy, being forced to play wide on the wing and only managed 3 goals from just 12 appearances. Consequently, in August 1999 he renewed his aquantance with former coach Wenger at Arsenal, signing for £10.5 million. Wenger moved him back into a more flexible forward/strikers role, and the rest is footballing history.

 

Reflecting on Arsenal’s Champions League final defeat at the hands of Barcelona on Wednesday, Henry said,

 

"My team showed me I didn't have to leave. They showed me they had heart.

 

"Everything was up in the air for a very long time. But at the end of the day, the team raised their game.

 

"Don't get me wrong. I love Barcelona. But on Wednesday night, Arsenal showed me they had heart.

 

"I hope to finalise all the details today."

the red card against lehmann was really inappropriate.most of the european refereeing community agree that instead of reducing arsenal to ten men,the referee should have just allowed the goal or award a penalty free kick and then just give a yellow card to the goalkeeper.it doesn't matter whether your english or not or you support barca or arsenal,the game lost its thrill already because of the red card.

underdog na nga arsenal to start with tapos nabawasan pa ng player,milagro na lang siguro pag nanalo pa sila.
