Match summary

Early on in the match, Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann made European Cup/Champions League history as the first player to be sent off in a final. He was shown the red card in a decision by referee Terje Hauge in the 18th minute Samuel Eto'o collided with him outside the box. Barcelona forward Ludovic Giuly followed up and knocked the ball into the empty net, but the goal was disallowed as the referee declared the play dead due to Lehmann's foul. As a result, Arsenal had to substitute midfielder Robert Pirès in order to bring on substitute goalkeeper Manuel Almunia. For other persons named Jens Lehmann, see Jens Lehmann (disambiguation). ...

Arsenal scored first in the 37th minute with a headed goal by defender Sol Campbell, his first ever in the Champions League competition. The assist came from Thierry Henry with a dubiously awarded free kick. The 10-man Arsenal side fought hard to hold on to the lead, however, in the 76th minute, Eto'o levelled the match by breaking through on the left side and beating Almunia from in close to tap it neatly by the near post, ending Arsenal's run of 995 minutes without conceding a goal in European competition.

An unlikely scorer, Brazilian defender Juliano Belletti, who came into the game as a substitute for Oleguer, gave Barcelona a 2–1 lead in the 81st minute. He took a through-ball, again from Larsson, inside the right side of the penalty area, drove deep near the goal line and shot deflecting off Almunia's right leg, between his legs, into the net from a narrow angle. Barcelona then comfortably held onto their lead to record their second Champions League/European Cup title. They have now won a total of nine European trophies.
