Champions League Final: Clash of the Titans

Tonight when Arsenal play Barcelona for the 2006 Champions League title @ Stade de France in Paris, the match would go down in history books of European Football. Both the teams play their natural attacking game & I am sure it would be a cracker. Not to forget Arsenal's defense, which has been a revelation this season where they have entered the record books for having 10 clean sheets in this season's Champions League.


This game would give us the chance to witness the best forwards currently in the world 'Thierry Henry' & 'Ronaldinho' playing against each other. The above picture was shot during the award ceremony last year & I don't expect the two players to be so friendly on the field atleat. Both have a class of their own, Henry has amazing pace to leap forward & Ronaldinho, has the knack of beating the best defenses. Lets see who performs better & scores in this game. I am not sure whether Henry would be with Arsenal for the next season, but this is the right oppurtunity for him to win & leave the club on a high note.

Everyone says Barcelona are the favorites for this seasons Championship League title, but don't write off Arsenal so easily, Gunners have the team to beat any big name & its reflected during their march to the final game. My bet on the final score-line for this game would be 1-0 victory for Arsenal.

Go Gunners!!!

Enjoy! the game.
