Arsenal in Final (Champions League Update)

Villarreal 0 - 0 Arsenal (Arsenal advance 1 - 0 on aggregate)

Jens Lehman saved a penalty kick to preserve Arsenal's 0 - 0 draw against Villarreal and send the Gunners to the Champions League final. Leading 1-0 after the first leg, Arsenal just needed a draw to advance. But Villarreal were given a chance to send the cup tie into extra time when Gael Clichy fouled Jose Mari. But Lehmann was the hero of the day as he made a diving save to deny Riquelme from the penalty spot. The Gunners will now face AC Milan or Barcelona in the final in Paris. And with Thierry Henry and Arsene Wenger, May 17th is going to be Arsenals biggest day at Champions league.

Congratulations to the Gunners!
