GILBERTO SILVA - Arsenal FC - UEFA Champions League 2005/06 (Final)

 The pictures above show Gilberto during the Champions League final against Barcelona on 17th May 2006.

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.
