In the 2006 Champions League final held at the Stade de France, Arsenal led 1-0 against Barcelona despite playing with ten men due to Jens Lehmann's red card. Juliano Belletti, who was substituted in the 71st minute, played a pivotal role as he helped turn the tide. Samuel Eto'o equaled the score, and only minutes later, Belletti scored the winning goal. His goal marked not only a significant personal achievement but also solidified Barcelona's second title in European football, concluding a successful season that included La Liga triumph.
When I saw it go in, I wanted to stand up to celebrate but my body wouldn't let me because of the emotion. It was my first goal in a Barcelona shirt, and one of the most important goals in the club's history.
I came on after 71 minutes, just before Samuel Eto'o equalised and Arsenal started to fall apart.
