HOW LFC HELPED BARCA BEAT ARSENAL Samuel Eto today singled out Liverpool Football Club as the inspiration behind Barcelona's fantastic Champions League final comeback in Paris on Wednesday night. The Cameroon international scored a late goal to level the game before Barcelona grabbed a winner with just minutes remaining. The comeback was nothing like as dramatic as what happened in Istanbul a year earlier but Eto believes the Barca players all had the Reds on their minds as they refused to admit defeat. "Whatever we did in the first half didn't work, but we fought, dominated the second half and never gave up," revealed Eto. "Having seen what Liverpool did last year when they were 3-0 down and apparently well beaten, we knew that you can't just accept you've lost until the final whistle goes. If you look at Liverpool's spirit, you know you have to fight to the end and, God permitting, you can win. "You can't allow doubts to creep in in a final like this. When we came out after half-time, we heard our supporters and remembered the spirit of Liverpool's players a year ago. We kept trying and trying and, in the end, God wanted us to win. There aren't enough words to explain what we're experiencing. What we have done today will only sink in when we stop playing football. This is probably the most beautiful moment in my entire career."

Aiks ? Liverpool got a hand in arsenal defeat.... ;D ;D Yalor, this ETO also talk C***,,what's LiverpooR got 2 do with Barca.. To me that CL final was "WON" by Arsenal..no doubt..Barca didn't play particularly well that night, ;D,,even the Viking referee 2day admitted that he had acted 2 hastilly in giving Arsenal's Lehman the red card,,he admitted that if he 2 wait another 3-5 sec more,,Barca should be 1 nil up,,Lehman yellow carded,,that would b definitely fair 4 both sides and the the CL showpiece.. Not many fans would like their team 2 play with less than 11 players especially for a big match like CL final.. The Viking REFeree should b red carded n blacklisted by FIFA.. ;D

DROGBA ON TARGET TO BEAT BARCELONA
Didier Drogba's name echoed around Stamford Bridge again as his second-half goal gave Chelsea a deserved win over Barcelona in the Champions League.
Drogba scored a brilliant goal to topple European champions Barcelona and put Jose Mourinho¡¦s team in total control at the top of Group A.
The Ivorian powerhouse is in incredible form in the Barclays Premiership and in Europe and smashed home his ninth of the season, on the turn from the edge of the box just seconds into the second period.
It was sweet revenge for Chelsea against the team who ended their own Champions League dream last season.
Mourinho¡¦s team have now won their first three matches of their European campaign and are in a strong position to go through to the knockout stages as group-winners.
Holders Barcelona, with four points from three games, have a fight on their hands to qualify, with Chelsea their next opponents in the Nou Camp in two weeks.
Hilario, in for injured keepers Petr Cech and Carlo Cudicini, kept a clean sheet on his debut and left the pitch clutching the match ball after a confident display.
John Terry and Ricardo Carvalho were immense in central defence but the 30-year-old keeper played his part with several saves, including a crucial late one from Deco.
His first touch came two minutes and 20 seconds into the game when he dashed from his line to collect a loose ball.
The home crowd gave him a big warm cheer to let him know they were right behind him.
Edmilson¡¦s highly ambitious 45-yarder suggested the European champions planned to test Chelsea¡¦s new keeper on his debut and he was again forced into action to save Lionel Messi¡¦s angled drive in the 24th minute before turning a low shot from Xavi around the post on the half-hour.
Barcelona shaded first-half possession and, in their most fluent moments, cut through Chelsea.
Messi, booed by Blues fans who remember his role in Asier del Horno¡¦s red card last season, teased Ashley Cole with his pace and trickery.
Carvalho twice thwarted Messi, who played with far more menace than a subdued Ronaldinho on the Barcelona left.
Ronaldinho had little impact on events, chipping over in the 29th minute after escaping the excellent Boulahrouz before Hilario easily saved tame free-kick from the Brazilian after the break.
Chelsea's first-half chances were rare but early in the game Drogba charged onto a pass from Michael Essien and poked the ball past advancing Barca keeper Victor Valdes.
Gianluca Zambrotta stretched to stop Drogba¡¦s effort rolling into the net but was unable to get any distance on his clearance.
It spilled back into the penalty area but bounced agonisingly half a yard behind Andriy Shevchenko.
Rafael Marquez recovered swiftly to concede a corner before the Ukraine striker could adjust.
Ballack squandered Chelsea¡¦s best chance of the opening period when he rose unmarked to meet Lampard¡¦s corner but planted his header over.
Drogba was felled by Edmilson¡¦s trailing arm in the first half but picked himself up to open the scoring, less than two minutes after restart.
It was his ninth of the season and just as good as the stunner which beat Liverpool at Stamford Bridge last month.
He controlled a pass from Cole, turned Carles Puyol and unleashed a fierce drive past Valdes.
Drogba¡¦s strike opened the game up and Chelsea seized control and finished strongly.
Shevchenko had a glorious opportunity to double the lead in the 55th minute when Lampard¡¦s first-time pass produced the opening but the former AC Milan forward fired wide.
Frank Rijkaard made changes as Barca chased the game, hauling off Eidur Gudjohnsen on his first return to Stamford Bridge.
Messi went close with a header and the Chelsea defence absorbed a lot of pressure late in the game but Hilario¡¦s clean sheet stayed intact.
CROUCH GRABS LIVERPOOL WINNER
Peter Crouch scored the winner for the second time in two European games as Liverpool snatched a win in a tough Champions League game at Bordeaux.
In what was in many ways a smash-and-grab raid, Liverpool soaked up pressure for much of the game before Crouch was presented with a chance to power home his fourth Champions League goal of the season.
Crouch had missed two first-half sitters, but Craig Bellamy¡¦s corner just before the hour mark led to the England striker crashing the ball past Ulrich Rame to secure Liverpool¡¦s first away win in all competitions this season.
Benitez had called for quality displays from his senior men, and he certainly got them from skipper Jamie Carragher, defensive partner Sami Hyypia and midfielder Xabi Alonso.
Liverpool conceded plenty of possession, but came through and are still top of Group C and surely now only need one more win to secure qualification. With two home games to come, against Bordeaux and PSV Eindhoven, the opportunity is there for them to complete the job at Anfield.
Already without hamstring victim Steven Gerrard, boss Benitez decided not to risk Mohamed Sissoko and Dirk Kuyt from the start, both of whom had travelled to south west France more in hope than conviction. They only got as far as the bench, along with young reserve Lee Peltier.
It left Liverpool with Luis Garcia and Mark Gonzalez on the flanks, Boudewijn Zenden in central midfield and the only fit strikers in Bellamy and Crouch up front.
The apparent slowness in the Bordeaux defence twice gave encouragement to Bellamy in the opening minutes. The ball did not run for the Wales striker, but he was instantly aware of the potential to get behind Tunisia international David Jemmali.
On seven minutes, a John Arne Riise free-kick was chested into Bellamy¡¦s path by Luis Garcia, the striker turning to hit a shot that Rame scooped away from Crouch.
But the game soon settled into one of Bordeaux possession and steady progression towards Liverpool¡¦s deep back line. One clever push through Riise¡¦s legs by Alejandro Alonso created a chance for a driven cross that skipper Carragher was forced to dive full-length to head away.
On 20 minutes Gonzalez cut in from the left and tried a shot, held by Rame, when he should have been looking for the movement ahead of him. A minute later Franck Jurietti was booked for a foul on the Chile international.
Fernando Menegazzo tested goalkeeper Jose Reina with a snap shot a minute into the second half, while Lilian Laslandes and Jean-Claude Darcheville - players who have had time in the English leagues - were beginning to cause growing danger with their movement and pace.
Liverpool started to hit back when Riise¡¦s fine crossfield pass found Luis Garcia, and the little Spaniard cut in to force Rame into an important save.
But on 58 minutes Liverpool stole into the lead. Bellamy took a right-wing corner and Crouch stormed in to plant a firm header down at Rame¡¦s feet from 10 yards, the goalkeeper unable to halt the ball's progress into the net.
Crouch was replaced by Kuyt on 65 minutes, Bordeaux having sent on Marouane Chamakh and Julien Faubert for Laslandes and Alonso.
Next into the fray for Liverpool was Sissoko in place of Gonzalez, while Bordeaux sent on their Colombia international Edixon Perea for Darcheville.
Bordeaux came close to an equaliser when Chamakh sent a flashing header from a cross inches wide with eight minutes left. Then Menegazzo saw a low header go wide from Jurietti¡¦s ball.
Kuyt was booked for kicking the ball away from a free-kick as Bordeaux kept coming forward before Stephen Warnock came on for Bellamy with four minutes left.
Warnock then almost grabbed a second when he worked his way clear from Zenden¡¦s pass, but Rame saved from 12 yards. Liverpool had to withstand further late pressure, but hung onto their priceless victory.

FERGIE JEALOUS OF REDS EURO SUCCESS
The spectre of Liverpool's five European Cup triumphs will forever haunt Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson, according to Old Trafford director Bobby Charlton. As Fergie prepares to celebrate 20 years in the United hot-seat next week, Charlton has revealed that the most successful manager of the Premiership era is jealous of Liverpool's proud record in the most prestigious continental cup competition. "I think the fact that Bob Paisley (three times a winner) and Liverpool have won the European Cup more times probably grates on Alex a little bit.," he said. "For the number of times we've been League champions, we've not taken it that stage further. I think he'd like to win at least one more European Cup."
DROGBA STRIKES AT THE DEATH
Didier Drogba rescued a dramatic point for Chelsea with an equaliser in the third minute of stoppage time.
The Ivory Coast international striker pounced for his 10th of the season just when Jose Mourinho's team seemed to have been sunk by old boy Eidur Gudjohnsen.
Mourinho had poked fun at Gudjohnsen on the eve of the game - but the Icelander answered with a goal in the 58th minute.
It looked like being the winner until Drogba slid the ball under Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes in the final moments.
Deco had fired the European Cup holders into an early lead but Frank Lampard equalised with a fantastic chip from the tightest of angles.
Mourinho's team are now virtually assured of a place in the last 16 of the competition.
It was a stormy game with 10 yellow cards - six for Chelsea - while Barcelona thought Ashley Cole should have been sent off.
Italian referee Stefano Farina appeared to show the England left-back two yellow cards in the first half - but it later emerged the first had been for Lampard.
Chelsea fell behind in the third minute when Deco dashed down the left, twisted inside onto his right foot and netted.
Drogba was then in the thick of it when he bumped into Thiago Motta as the Brazilian midfielder climbed to his feet.
Motta threw himself to the floor and Rafael Marquez grabbed the Chelsea striker.
This time Drogba fell to the turf and players rushed to the scene to jostle each other.
Ronaldinho then felt Michael Essien had used an elbow on Gudjohnsen when he had actually caught him in the face with his wrist.
Farina was reaching into his pocket for his yellow card a few minutes later though to book two Chelsea players for dissent.
He flashed the first yellow in the direction of Cole after giving a foul against Drogba. Lampard was standing near Cole at the time and it later emerged that he had been the one cautioned.
The booking for Lampard was his third of the competition and he will be suspended from Chelsea¡¦s next game, away to Werder Bremen.
The seriousness of the confusion became clear, 10 minutes later, when Cole mistimed a tackle on Motta and was booked.
He showed the defender a yellow card but did not produce a red.
Drogba needed lengthy treatment at the start of the second half after taking a blow to the face in an aerial clash with Carles Puyol.
Victor Valdes made another excellent save to keep out a good header from Arjen Robben, destined for the bottom corner, then made further good stops to deny Robben and Essien.
Robben fired a glorious chance over when he should have scored but Lampard levelled in the 52nd minute with a delightful piece of skill.
The England midfielder initially miscontrolled a pass from Claude Makelele and was driven wide of goal.
It looked an impossible angle, tight to the touchline, but Lampard somehow curled a chip over Valdes and inside the back post.
Chelsea were well on top and looking for the win when Frank Rijkaard made a change, bringing on Edmilson for Motta.
Barca were soon back in front with Ronaldinho dancing past Khalid Boulahrouz before finding for Gudjohnsen, who had the simplest of tasks to slide the ball into an open goal.
Lampard wanted a penalty for a pull on his shirt by Xavi in the 65th minute but his appeals were ignored.
Gudjohnsen took his bow early, replaced by Ludovic Giuly, 13 minutes from time.
After Michael Ballack had squandered a glorious chance to pull Chelsea level, on-song Drogba found the target, with captain John Terry assisting.
GERRARD OFF THE MARK IN LIVERPOOL WIN
Two goals from Luis Garcia and Steven Gerrard's first of the season gave Liverpool another convincing Champions League victory and a place in the next stage of the competition.
PSV Eindhoven¡¦s triumph over Galatasaray means Liverpool have qualified from group C with two games to spare, but had it not been for a crazy headbutt by Fernando Menegazzo on John Arne Riise on 66 minutes, with the score at 1-0, Bordeaux may well have grabbed something from the game.
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez sprung a surprise when he named an unchanged side to face the French league runners-up.
After 99 successive matches tinkering with his side, the Liverpool boss opted to retain the team which beat Aston Villa at the weekend.
Bordeaux made five changes from the team which lost 1-0 to Liverpool a fortnight ago, but Vladimir Smicer, a Liverpool hero of Istanbul now with the French side, failed to make the 18 and took up a seat in the directors¡¦ box after a rousing ovation from the Kop.
Liverpool showed their intent with an opening minute move down the left which saw Gerrard hook over from Riise¡¦s cross.
Bordeaux needed to win to have any chance of going through themselves and opted for twin strikers and a more adventurous approach.
That was upset on just 11 minutes when striker Marouane Chamakh limped off with a knee injury, Edixon Perea coming on as substitute.
The French were still keen to come forward and Menegazzo ran from midfield to fire just wide from 20 yards.
Liverpool found it difficult to break through the French back line until the 23rd minute and the goal came from a familiar route.
Luis Garcia has a habit of scoring in the Champions League and he was there just beyond the far post to meet a Gerrard cross with a left-foot volley which bounced away from Ulrich Rame into the far corner.
Gerrard¡¦s flick then gave Dirk Kuyt a sight of goal from 30 yards and he held off two defenders to send a shot fizzing wide of a post.
It was not until the 41st minute that Liverpool came close again, a Kuyt header just over from another Gerrard cross.
Bordeaux were first to threaten in the second half when on 47 minutes Florian Marange sent in a swerving 25-yarder that Jose Reina touched over.
Three minutes later Reina was in action again when Jean-Claude Darcheville was put clear, the Spain goalkeeper blocking the close-range effort.
Mohamed Sissoko was booked on 55 minutes for a foul on Pierre Ducasse, and two minutes later Liverpool sent on Bolo Zenden in place of Xabi Alonso.
Bordeaux continued to make life uncomfortable for Liverpool and, with Johan Micoud pulling the strings, the threat of an equaliser was always there. The French team then replaced Darcheville with Gabriel Obertan.
Gerrard fired wide from a good position and misplaced a pass soon after before a row over a Mohammed Sissoko tackle produced a red card.
Referee Markus Merk calmed the uproar and opted to take no further action, with Liverpool taking a quick throw and racing away before Merk pulled them back and awarded the throw to Bordeaux.
But the French were furious and Menegazzo lost his cool and headbutted Riise, Merk immediately waving the red card.
That was the incentive Liverpool needed to take control, and on 71 minutes Gerrard scored his first goal of the season when Zenden put him clear down the middle.
Rio Antonio Mavuba then came on for Micoud and on 76 minutes Liverpool had their third. Mavuba made a dreadful error to gift the ball to Luis Garcia who raced into the box to blast home his second of the game.

UNITED SUNK BY ALLBACK GOAL
Former Aston Villa striker Marcus Allback halted Manchester United's charge towards the Champions League knockout stage with a second-half winner for FC Copenhagen in Denmark.
The Swede, who endured a difficult spell at Villa Park between 2002 and 2004, bundled home the 73rd-minute goal which ended the Red Devils¡¦ seven-match winning streak.
The 1-0 defeat also wrecked United's 100 per cent start in Europe this term and leaves them still requiring a draw against Celtic on November 21 or Benfica next month to seal their passage into the last 16.
Requiring victory to be mathematically certain of reaching the last 16 but knowing a draw would realistically put his side through, Sir Alex Ferguson opted to make six changes to the side which beat Bolton Wanderers 4-0 in the Barclays Premiership on Saturday.
Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs and Louis Saha were already out, while Rio Ferdinand, Paul Scholes and Patrice Evra were left on the bench in an effort to spread the load of matches right across his squad.
Understandably, there was a disjointed look about the Red Devils during the opening stages, especially at the back, where only Nemanja Vidic retained his place from the Reebok Stadium romp.
The hosts needed to win to have realistic hope of reaching the last 16, but their only meaningful effort on the United goal during the opening period came from Michael Silberbauer.
The striker let fly from 20 yards - but United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar saved easily.
Wayne Rooney looked most likely to score for the visitors, turning in his usual industrious performance as he surged for his first Champions League goal in more than two years to go with his weekend Barclays Premiership hat-trick.
Rooney certainly appeared the best attacker on view, heading just over from Wes Brown's cross, then sending another shot on the turn wide of Jesper Christiansen's goal.
Unlike most of his team-mates, the Copenhagen goalkeeper performed well at Old Trafford a fortnight ago, and he showed bottle and composure, initially to chest away Van der Sar's long clearance as Rooney bore down outside the home box, then dribbling past the England star, whose last international goal came in this stadium in August last year.
United started the second period with more purpose than they showed during the opening half, and they also had Ferdinand on as Vidic was replaced at the interval.
Copenhagen had the first chance, with Van der Sar saving Brede Hangeland's header, but twice United almost caught their opponents on the counter.
First Christiansen rushed out to smother as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer chased down Cristiano Ronaldo's lay-off; then the Copenhagen keeper got behind a firm 20-yard strike from the Norwegian, who Ferguson has challenged to net 20 goals for his team this season.
It was 55 minutes before either side fashioned a decent opportunity, and then Atiba Hutchinson headed it over, which appeared to prove Ferguson's theory that the Danes, while neat and tidy in their approach play, lack a cutting edge up front.
Even with a weakened line-up, the same cannot be said of the visitors, and Darren Fletcher and Rooney combined to set up John O'Shea, whose side-footed effort went narrowly wide.
Rooney headed Gabriel Heinze's cross over; then Solskjaer saw a shot deflected wide by Hangeland.
Just as it seemed a goalless draw was inevitable, Allback popped up to spoil United's night.
The visitors failed to deal with Lars Jacobsen's initial corner and, when Hutchinson turned the ball back into the danger zone, Allback was on hand to bundle home.
Ronaldo, who had struggled to make an impression, had a late shot saved from Christiansen and then was booked for protesting both at the crowd and referee when a marginal decision had gone against him.
Scholes had been introduced for Fletcher just before Copenhagen's goal and he too was denied by Christiansen, who made a fine block as the midfielder tried to lob home.
If the result was not bad enough for United, they also finished the game with 10 men as Solskjaer limped off with a hamstring injury after the visitors had used their allotted three substitutes.
And then in the last minute of stoppage-time Ronaldo had a goal correctly ruled out for offside after Rooney had crossed.
GUNNERS FAIL TO SEE OFF CSKA
Arsenal's week of frustration continued as their Champions League hopes were dealt a blow after a goalless draw against CSKA Moscow at the Emirates Stadium.
Just how the Gunners failed to secure a victory which would have returned them to the top of Group G was incomprehensible, given the number of clear-cut opportunities they created.
Captain Thierry Henry, Cesc Fabregas, Robin van Persie and Tomas Rosicky all missed golden chances to put the match well beyond the reach of the Russians, who are now in pole position to qualify for the last 16.
With Porto winning in Hamburg, Arsenal have it all to do if they are to keep alive the dream of going one better than last season's European Cup final appearance.
Manager Arsene Wenger had called for more urgency from his side than they showed during the 1-0 defeat in Moscow two weeks ago and the Gunners certainly started at a high tempo.
Henry was booked after just 58 seconds for a hefty challenge on Vasili Berezutsky, which will have done little to temper the skipper's frustrations at the way his late goal was disallowed in Russia.
Following a slick build-up involving Alexander Hleb, striker Van Persie snatched at his shot when the ball fell for him on the penalty spot, driving it high into the stands.
Then, after 12 minutes, the Dutchman flashed an effort just wide of the far post from 20 yards.
Rosicky then fed Gilberto down the right and his low centre picked out the on-rushing Henry, who nipped in front of his marker to reach the ball ahead of diving keeper Igor Akinfeev six yards out but could only guide it the wrong side of the near post.
Hleb was soon put away on the overlap down the right again but elected to cut back to Henry, whose shot was blocked.
A quick one-two with Rosicky sent Fabregas clear and he rounded the keeper but somehow hit the side-netting.
After 35 minutes, Hleb slipped a pass through to Van Persie, who beat the offside trap.
However, to do so, the Dutchman was at full stretch and could only stab the ball past the post.
There was another good chance for Henry in the closing moments of the first half, when he timed his run to perfection and latched on to Rosicky's sweeping pass.
However, while the Arsenal captain's deft touch with the outside of his boot guided the ball past Akinfeev, it also drifted just the wrong side of the post.
Henry then returned the favour, cutting the ball back to the Czech midfielder from the left byline.
However, two yards out and with the net at his mercy, Rosicky could only stab his shot straight at the CSKA keeper, who was already on the ground.
Wenger's men picked up where they had left off at the start of the second half but were again found wanting by lack of decisiveness in the final third.
After being a virtual spectator for much of the match, Jens Lehmann had to be alert as Vagner Love sprinted clear in the 56th minute.
Having held off William Gallas, the Brazilian attempted to slip the ball under the advancing Arsenal keeper but the big German took the sting out of the shot and quickly gathered the loose ball.
After 65 minutes, Henry skipped into the left side of the area and chipped the ball back across goal, where Van Persie just failed to connect at the far post.
Van Persie, just six yards out, headed wide following a deep cross from the right when it looked easier to score and was replaced by Jeremie Aliadiere with eight minutes left.
Gilberto saw his floating header well saved at full stretch by the CSKA keeper while, at the other end, Henry almost inadvertently flicked in a corner when trying to defend at the near post.
