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.
