[excerpts]
Undefeated sides clash in Champions League final
# When Arsenal and FC Barcelona meet in Saint-Dénis on
Wednesday, two undefeated sides will contest the final
of this season's Champions League.
# The two teams have recorded eight victories and four
draws each in their first 12 matches.
# It is the third time since the competition began in
1992 that two teams have reached the final unbeaten.
# This also occurred in 1992/93 and 93/94. In the former
final, Olympique Marseille beat AC Milan by 1-0.
# Milan made amends in style the next season by beating
Barcelona 4-0.
Arsenal retain watertight defence in knockout phase
# Arsenal have not conceded a Champions League goal since
27 September 2005.
# The sequences of 10 consecutive clean sheets and 919
minutes without letting in a goal are both Champions
League records.
Rijkaard can join exclusive club
# Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard won the Champions League
three times (1989, 1990 and 1995) as a player and hopes
to join the short list of Champions Cup/Champions League
winners as player and trainer.
# Only four people have done this - Miguel Munoz, Giovanni
Trapattoni, Johan Cruyff and Carlo Ancelotti.
...
# Only four clubs, including Arsenal's opponents Barcelona,
have won all three European competitions at least once.
# Barca have won the Champions Cup/Champions League once,
the Cup Winners' Cup four times and the Fairs Cup/Uefa
Cup three times.
# The other teams that have completed the set are Ajax,
Bayern Munich and Juventus and therefore Arsenal can
become the first English club to accomplish the feat.
...
# Barcelona were involved in the most embarrassing penalty
shoot-out, from the point of view of the takers at least,
in the 1985/86 Champions Cup final.
# Barca custodian Urruti saved the first two attempts by
Steaua Bucharest, but surrendered two goals after that.
# All four Barcelona penalties were saved by Steaua goalie
Helmuth Ducadam, who became a European legend overnight.
# In the final of the 1999/2000 Uefa Cup, Arsenal's shootout
woes made Galatasaray the first ever Turkish winners of
European silverware.
# Gala goalkeeper Claudio Taffarel saw Arsenal's Davor Suker
and Patrick Vieira both hit the woodwork, as his team mates
made no mistake from the spot.
...
Head-to-Head
# FC Barcelona and Arsenal have met each other twice in Europe.
In the 1999/2000 Champions League first round group phase,
these sides drew 1-1 at the Camp Nou, but the Spaniards won
2-4 in London.
# Arsenal players Thierry Henry, Fredrik Ljungberg and Dennis
Bergkamp were involved in both encounters. Barcelona's Gabri
made one substitute appearance, whilst Xavi and Carles Puyol
were on the bench for both legs.
# Barcelona have played 51 European matches against clubs from
England and have won 24, drawn 14 and lost 13. The Spaniards
have outscored the English clubs by 101-63.
# Barca have been eliminated from European competition by English
clubs on six occasions. They have eliminated English clubs from
the knock-out stages 12 times.
# The Catalan-based club have met English opposition in three
European finals. After winning the Fairs Cup in 1958 and 1960
by defeating London XI and Birmingham City respectively, the
Catalans lost the final of the 1991 Cup Winners' Cup against
Manchester United (2-1).
