Great game.Could've been better if the ref didn't react to quick and sent off the Arsenal keeper and let Barcelona play to its advantage.But either way I wanted Arsenal to loose.

I agree. He should have awarded the goal made by Giulyand given Lehman a yellow card. Either way Barcelona rules!!!

I saw the whole game on ESPN2 and I have to say that the game was great and yeah they should of allowed the goal the first goal from Barcelona since the referee was pretty late on his call but either way Jens Lehmann was clearly out the box and intentionally tripped Eto'o to not allow him to score.

But Arsenal made the most of it being one man down and able to still score the first goal. Barcelona was clearly the aggressor in the game constantly attacking the Arsenal D but with 1 man down sooner or later Barcelona would find the holes in their great defense.

Ronaldinho is clearly the best ball handler, passer and striker in the game right now, the guy overtakes defenders and he is clearly feared. I dont see a reason why he shouldn't win FIFA Player of the year for the 3rd straight time.

This was a great warmup for the World Cup, just 3 weeks away.
