Arsene Wenger recalls big Arsenal mistake with Paris set to host another Champions League final

The words 'Paris' and 'UEFA Champions League final' when used in the same sentence are enough to give any Arsenal fans and Arsene Wenger nightmares.

1-0 up with 10-men after Jens Lehmann had been sent off in the first half, the north London outfit were 13 minutes away from becoming the first London club to lift the famous trophy only for Samuel Eto'o and Juliano Belletti to win the game for Barcelona and break Arsenal hearts at the same time.

16 years on from the Gunners reaching their first-ever, and to this date only, final of European football's elite club competition, the French capital is set to host another on May 28 as 13-time winners Real Madrid face six-time winners Liverpool in what is sure to be a fascinating clash.
