7) Barcelona 2-1 Arsenal
Arsenal’s first ever appearance in a Champions League final and an effort to be proud of, Sol Campbell gave the Gunners the lead against big favourites Barcelona shortly after Jens Lehmann’s red card saw them reduced to ten men. They held on until late in the game when Barca’s quality showed, albeit via a questionable offside decision as Samuel Eto’o slotted in the equaliser. Juliano Belletti then struck the winner as that famous Ronaldinh0-inspired side begun what would prove to be Catalan dominance in this competition for years to come.
