Former European referee Terje Hauge has already admitted that he could have spared Jens Lehmann a red card amid the anniversary of Arsenal reaching their only ever Champions League final.
The North London side reached the showpiece final in 2006 following a highly impressive run in the competition under former boss Arsene Wenger. Having progressed from a group that included Ajax, Sparta Prague and Swiss outfit Thun, they continued their journey by finding a way past Real Madrid in the first knockout round, sealing a memorable victory at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Gunners then overcame Italian giants Juventus before squeezing past Villarreal to reach the final in Paris. Then poised to meet another Spanish side in the form of Barcelona, Arsenal looked set for a testing evening by coming up against a team coached by Frank Rijkaard that had been all-conquering in La Liga.
