The match took place on May 17, 2006, at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, near Paris, with Barcelona defeating Arsenal 2-1 after a dramatic second half comeback. Barcelona were trailing after Sol Campbell’s goal for Arsenal, then equalized through Samuel Eto’o and later won it with Juliano Belletti’s strike [result and venue widely documented in match reports and summaries].

Notable events include Jens Lehmann being sent off early in the match, Arsenal going a man down, and Barcelona’s late goals altering the outcome in the final minutes. The stoppage-time dramatics and key substitutions (Larsson coming on and contributing to the equalizer and winner) are consistently highlighted in historical coverage.
