March 28, 2006 marked the date Arsenal Football Club said out with the old and in with the new in emphatic fashion.

Having won the Premier League two years prior and the FA Cup the season before, Arsenal weren't exactly minnows - but on the European stage they had far less stature than the Turin-based titans standing in their way. While the magnitude of the Champions League quarter-final clash was obvious, there was a captivating side-story throughout.
