On May 17, 2006, FC Barcelona secured the Champions League title by defeating Arsenal F.C. in the final match held in Paris. Arsenal took an early lead with a goal by Sol Campbell, but Barcelona mounted a comeback in the final moments, scoring two goals by Samuel Eto'o and Roberto Carlos, securing a 2-1 victory.

The dismissal of Arsenal's goalkeeper Jens Lehmann early in the match shifted the balance of the game. Despite this setback, the English side fought until the end against the talented squad led by Ronaldinho and Samuel Eto'o. This victory marked Barcelona's second Champions League title in their history, solidifying their return to the pinnacle of European football. Ronaldinho was the focal point of the campaign that season, and a few years later, the Catalan team would go on to dominate the sport with one of the most successful periods in football history.
