Barcelona Victorious Against Arsenal In Europe

The European Championship pits the very best football teams against one another.

The final, yesterday, played in Paris, France, resulted in the Spanish Champions, Barcelona, beating Arsenal of England, by 2 goals to 1.

Soccer

Barcelona claims title: Spain heads into the World Cup with the biggest club title in European soccer.

Samuel Eto'o and second-half substitute Juliano Belletti scored in the final 15 minutes as Barcelona, playing with a man advantage for most of the game, rallied past Arsenal 2-1 Wednesday night in Saint-Denis, France, in the final of the European Champions League.

Barcelona's only previous Champions title came in 1992. Barcelona played with a man advantage after Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann was ejected in the 18th minute for taking down Eto'o just outside the penalty area.

But the Gunners took a 1-0 lead in the 37th minute when Sol Campbell headed in Thierry Henry's free kick.

Arsenal had gone a Champions League-record 10 consecutive games without allowing a goal. Eto'o ended the streak in the 76th minute, taking a through ball from Henrik Larsson and beating backup goalkeeper Manuel Almunia.

Gunners coach Arsene Wenger claimed Eto'o was offside.

Belletti, a defender who entered in the 71st minute, got the go-ahead goal in the 81st, taking a pass from Larsson and sending a low cross in front that went into the net off Almunia.
