| The pictures above show the moment when Jens brought down Samuel
Eto'o after just 18 minutes of the Champions League final against
Barcelona on 17th May 2006. The bottom right photo shows captain Thierry
Henry putting a comforting arm around his disconsolate team mate as he
trudges off after referee Terje Hauge had shown him the red card.
Despite being down to ten men following Lehmann's early dismissal
Arsenal produced a heroic performance and took the lead through Sol
Campbell's 37th minute header before two late goals condemned them to a
heartbreaking defeat. |
