ARSENAL ✪ Road to the Final - Champion League 2006

For FC Thun of course, this is their Cup Final. A fixture they could never have even dreamed of just a few years ago. And there's loads of room for Reyes. Gilberto Strecic. Touch. The defender was in his way, but he's going to claim it. Arsenal. Oh, it didn't last long. What an unbelievable goal by Ferreira. Bergkamp will try to tee it up for Perez. Bergkamp alone. There was a terrific atmosphere in Amsterdam for Game 2 in the Champions League. Although injuries were starting to mount up for Arsenal, with six players absent at Ajax. And here is Reyes, and Jungberg is alongside him. It is Freddy Jungberg, and it's 1-0 Arsenal. Berg, standby striker, understudy. And support here from Fabregas, who's played it through for Reyes. The flag has stayed down, the goalkeeper has come, and that must be a penalty. It is a penalty. Robert Perez. Two. And Amsterdam is dampened in spirit. Hicked on by Lindenberg, here is Pienaar. And now Galasek, who can strike them from here, and does brilliantly. And here's Loosenborg, they're back in it. Looking for Thierry Henry, his first touch is short. Henry up. What a return for Thierry Henry. He's been out for over a month, but the magic is flowing for the Arsenal. Now here's Perez. Lovely ball for Thierry Henry, this could be it, this could be the moment it is. Record breaker, history maker. Thierry Henry is Arsenal's record goalscorer, and he looks to have made the points safe here in Prague tonight. Are we? He's taken, and here's Van Persie. Nelson Ferreira. Comes for Orman. Agueta, and again. Oh, he should have squared it, lost it in alleyway's weight. Strengthening their grip on a possible UEFA Cup place. Van Persie goes down. The assistant has flagged, and has drawn the referee's attention to what he sees as a penalty. In the Swiss capital. And Perez scores. And in all probability now, it's going to be played 5-1-5 for Arsenal. But don't waste your time looking for too many familiar names on their team sheet. Who has Zidane Weidemann here. Zidane's cross, Beckham! It's the best Madrid have produced. Well, there's the worst and the best of Zidane in a brief moment. Great ball across. Alessandro has got caught on it, and this is David. And he denied the England. Graveson nicked it wide for Sassino, who has space here on top. Flamadi, Vino! The hamstring, he expects to be out. The only prognosis here is that Henry getting clear though. It's Thierry Henry! He scored! He scored for Arsenal! And here is Fabregas, and Diaby is onside here. That was his first touch. And it was snuffed out by Casillas. Baptista, very, very strong. Diaby threw in a foot. Madrid half. Beckham lifting it in. And Ramos was onto it, and Lehmann has wrapped himself around it. With considerable courage, and incurring not a little pain. It was a brave save, that was a much better ball by Beckham. 95 minutes up, the final whistle. A simply staggering result for Arsenal. Could have been more, it should have been more for Arsenal. Graveson, it's Ronaldo! Scoring save. It's reunion night at Highbury. Patrick Vieira is back to say bonjour to some old friends. Here is, clever backheel. Here's Cesc Fabregas! Oh, he did everything but the final bit. His opponents here. And Fabregas is forward once more. Here's Cesc Fabregas, it's Thierry Henry! Good save by Buffon, needed to be. Thierry Henry have got the goals. Fabregas to Henry, shots on. And Buffon keeps it out. That was super skilled. Team for the only save they were able to do. And here is Nedved! Here's Flemm. He's still going, and he's just clipped it wide of the far post. Here by the Alps. Arsenal have scaled new heights. Into the semi-finals of Europe. So, for the first time in the club's history, the Gunners were about to compete in a Champions League semi-final. And the chart from the Arsenal fans is there's only one squirrel. This kind of area. That's quite clever. Sorin with a cross. They've all missed it. It might come for Jose Mourinho. He's given a penalty! Riquelme. Lehmann saved it! And Arsenal are within sight of the final. Thanks to an extraordinary start by Jens Lehmann. Good evening everybody. It is the 50th anniversary of the first European Cup final. That was staged just across Paris at the Parc de France. And that is what this song and dance is all about. Only footballing VIPs have made the guest list for this birthday party. It was Henry. He's got an early chance! Oh, what a fantastic save by... ...to Deco. Edmilson. Toure, very quick to him. Clumsily so, right under the referee's nose. And a free kick to Barcelona. It is Ronaldinho. It's just on time. But as sighters go, it's pretty impressive. Oh, he's slipped it through. No flag. Samuel Eto'o. It's Ronaldinho. Slipped through to Julie once more. Terrific cover from Toure. ...between the two Ivory Coast internationals. And Ebue's gone on. He was stopped by Puyol on the edge of the penalty area. And Arsenal have a free kick. That's what Ebue's got to do. Force his way down that... Henry. Towards Kamel! Olivier. Three of his teammates waiting in the penalty area. Fifty minutes or so. It will do. There are going to be four added minutes at the end of the first half. Puyol is on the ball. And now Eto'o. Another cracking. Slipped into Eto'o. Clever turn. Samuel Eto'o. Off the post! Ronaldinho can't get to the rebound. Is it going to be... Eto'o has hit the post. Yes. Fed through to Andres Iniesta. Skipped away from Toure. Shot by Iniesta. Could stop again. He's held off Cleb. Still Ronaldinho. Nervous set up here for Arsenal. It's Ronaldinho. It's into the wall. It's Ronaldinho. It's missed it. Referee doesn't know whether to give a goal kick or a corner. A goal kick it is. It's Alexander Cleb. Cleb is on the ball. Down at the Arsenal end. Ronaldinho meanwhile. That's not far away. Well linked up with Fabregas. It says Fabregas goes for glory. Ronaldinho. He's got past Cole. Cole did just about enough. Ronaldinho. Deco let it run. Juli with the cross. Cut out. Somehow by... Iniesta. Slipped into Larsen. On goes Eto'o. Real chance for one. In a matter of time. Larsen good control. Tucked into Belletti. Oh is it? The favourites have won the final. Barcelona are back on top. A European victory.
