The Barcelona players celebrate in the centre-circle after adding the Champions League to their La Liga crown to cap a superb season.

Arsenal are denied, but they can hold their heads high after holding on to the lead with ten men for much of the game, before tiredness told and the classy Catalans broke their resistence.

FULL-TIME: It's all over! Barcelona win their second Champions League after coming from behind to break the hearts of a spirited Arsenal.

SAVE! Belletti plays in Giuly down the right-channel, but his snap shot from inside the area is saved by Almunia.

There will be three additional minutes.

Wenger is furious at the referee after he awards Barcelona another free-kick when Marquez kicks Reyes; to be fair on Wenger, the official has been dreadful.

Barcelona win a late corner when Giuly's shot deflects behind off the legs of Campbell.

Arsenal finally win the ball back; Reyes tries to fire in a cross for Henry, but Marquez is in a good position to nod clear and win the ball back for his side.

The game is rather limping to its conclusion; Arsenal seem too weary to chase down possession, and Barcelona are knocking the ball about with relative ease.

The Barcelona fans are rightly celebrating; Arsenal look dead and buried. They have worked themselves in to the ground trying to keep hold of that lead, and those two goals have broken their spirit.

ARSENAL SUB: Hleb is replaced by Reyes; an attacking change by Wenger, who has to go for broke.

Barcelona aren't letting Arsenal have a touch; they are masters at keeping the ball and are working Arsenal hard in midfield as they hunt back possession.

Only four people have won the Champions League as a player and a manager - Miguel Munoz, Giovanni Trapattoni, Johan Cruyff and Carlo Ancelotti. Frank Rijkaard stands on the brink of being added to that list.

Barcelona are just trying to keep hold of the ball now, trying to wear Arsenal down further and see out this game.

To be fair, Barcelona remained patient and they have been rewarded. Rijkaard's substitutions have paid off, with Larsson involved in both goals and Belletti scoring what could be the winner.

GOAL! Arsenal have finally crumpled! Belletti and Larsson combine brilliantly down the right, the full-back smashing a low shot underneath Almunia at the near post.

Barcelona win a corner when Iniesta's cross is blocked by Toure.

The rain is pelting down in Paris, and the Arsenal players look really, really tired. Can they hold on and force extra-time?

WEAK! Ronaldinho cuts in from the right, but his left-foot shot from the edge of the area lacks power and is easily claimed by Almunia.

Arsenal now have to hang on, because they are going to come under enormous pressure in these final minutes.

GOAL! Barcelona finally find the gap. Eto'o slides past Almunia from a tight angle after sprinting on to a through-ball from Iniesta.

Henry looks absolutely shattered; he has run himself in to the ground on his own up front.

ARSENAL SUB: Flamini replaces Fabregas; the Arsenal players are starting to look very tired, and Wenger opts for some fresh legs in midfield.

More intelligent hold-up play from Henry wins his side a valuable, time-wasteing corner.
