One of the assistant referees has been changed due to the original one being photoed in a Barcelona shirt! Haha

PE is very important. Where else are you going to learn about Jock itch and how to prevent it?

Arsenal - 1 Barca - 0
TERRIBLE refereeing in first half. Lehmann took Eto'o out on break, and then Giuly finishes off the goal. Ref stops game, and disallows goal, and give Lehmann a red. Taht should have been a goal for Barca. THEN Eboue makes a run down the right side, puts a good meg on Puyol, and then DIVES like I have never seen before. HE WAS NOT TOUCHED. WATCH THE REPLAYS. I WAS ABSOLUTELY LIVID. Then Henry steps it up and put the ball right on Cambells head for the goal.
TERRIBLE. Then Eto'o hit the post with a good stop from backup keeper.

Lehmann ejected?!?!?! Is that the first time a keeper has gotten a red in a Champs League Final. Barca is dominating this game right now and they are pouring on the shots. Arsenal is gonna be hard pressed to hold onto that one-goal lead against an inspired Ronaldinho, who promised "goals galore".

Halftime.
You think Arsenal can hang on?
I don't know.
They got the goal and that was the hardest part.
45 minutes against a determined Barca team seems to be a hard mountain to climb. So far so good.
Yes, those were bad calls.
Giuly's goal should have counted as the ESPN2 announcers were proclaiming (please, lets stay away from the announcer topic).
Too bad for Pires. 15 minutes, and he has to go. As for Lehmann, he looked tough before the Red Card.

This ref has made many poor calls.
Freddy Ljungberg looks really good.
72nd minute
Arsenal hanging on.

Not a classic match, but considering the way the game went, Barcelona deserved to win.
It wasn't the Henry/Ronaldinho show after all.

GREAT MATCH OVERALL.
I wish the ref would have given the first goal to Barca, along with yellow to Lehmann, so that way atleast Arsenal would have all 11 men. Arsenal came out and attacked despite being down to 10 for 70 minutes. Congrats to Barca, and Arsenal.
I wasnt too happy about the refereeing overall, but it must be hard having so much pressure on you, I dont know. Some calls were being made for one team, but then not the other. He was sometimes cathcing dives, but other times not.
HENRY, GO TO BARCA!!
I can only imagine how awesome Barca will be next year if Henry makes the move..

I agree that the match would have been better if the ref would have allowed the first goal and not red carded Lehmann.
