On God man Lehmann in that CL campaign was like a man possessed not conceding a single goal in the knockout stages gets sent of and his replacement was fumbling Almunia *sigh*

[@blaquenguni9249]

Nobody is saving Eto'o one on one bro. But the Belketti goal definitely saved. Eto'o scored a similar goal 3 years later in Rome vs Manchester United in the 2009 CL final, but this time with the outside of the foot as opposed to the inside. He was deadly.

[@optimism-personified]

Couldnt forget that season! Beating that Madrid team was the beginning of something magical. Juve and Vieira were defeated in that vengeful envounter. Plus that resilient villareal team. Barca were good, but never as good as the then Arsenal team. Why do I feel like football those days was more entertainin and more thrilling?

[@ZetstarMemco]

Ref gave Barcelona all the chances to win. A sending off when he could have let the goal stand and kept the game 11 against 11 and then to compound the corruption, he allows a blatant offside goal to stand. Now we all know Barcelona were literally bribing officials in this era. Disgraceful club!

[@D93-w5q]

The ref disallowed a Barcelona goal which would have put Barcelona 1-0 up. The ref f..ked over both teams. Stop crying.

[@iijumunjii]

​@@D93-w5q that disallowed goal for barca doesn't vindicate or on the same level as offside to the build up of the goal that was scored by barca that led to the red card. Eto was off. The ref handicapped arsenal and handed Barcelona the trophy. Its not about crying, its about injustice and corruption. But the same old typical response from someone who wasnt on the wrong end of the decision that is huge is "stop crying".

[@ZetstarMemco]

If you think being down to 10 men in the first half is better than being 1-0 down, then your football IQ is very low. Also, I noticed that you didn't comment on the blantanly offside equaliser. You Helmet. @@D93-w5q

[@D93-w5q]

@iijumunjii Arsenal went 1-0 up with 10 Men after getting a free kick that wasn't a free kick when Eboure dived. Henry missed two 1 on 1. Arsenal had chances to kill the game when they were 1-0 up and they wasted them. Like I said, the referee screwed over both teams. Arsenal have no one else to blame but themselves for not killing the game. Again, stop crying.

[@blaquenguni9249]

Bro let me tell as someone who watched this Barcelona team get built from scratch.. The last thing you wanted vs THIS Barcelona team was for them to have their tails up, had they hone 1-0 up, It would've been the longest 90min in Arsenal history, Barcelona could score 4 or 5 goals in 30 min, they were simply unstoppable when they had their confidence up, that's why they could score and equalizer and a winner within minutes of each other. In 2005 Samuel Eto'o scored an equalizer vs AC Milan and after that I saw Barcelona toying with the best team in the world, they did something similar to Real Madrid when Ronaldinho got a standing ovation and they dispatched of Mourinho's back to back league winning Chelsea once they got the lead very easily. Believe me when I say that you did NOT want that Giuly goal to stand, they would've ripped you apart 😂😂

[@КнязянРафаэль]

People talk about Arsenal's lack of European pedigree but they've had some rotten luck in finals, losing on penalties in 1980 and 2000, the freak last kick of the game Nayim goal in 1995 and of course losing Lehmann early in the CL final here, could very easily have won 5/6 European trophies rather than the 2 (If you include the old Fairs Cup) they have won.
