(The main photo above shows Fredrik getting in a tangle with Barcelona defenders Presas Oleguer (grounded) and Rafael Marquez during the Champions League final on 17th May 2006. The inset picture shows Ljungberg in possession as Oleguer keeps a close eye on him. The Gunners were reduced to ten men after just 18 minutes when keeper Jens Lehmann was sent off but a courageous performance saw them all but lift the trophy until two late Barcelona goals wiped out Sol Campbell's 37th minute header.)
