Chelsea 1 - 1 Barcelona: Iniesta's late heartbreaker

Ten-man Barcelona robbed Chelsea of a place in the Champions League final in the cruellest of fashions with a 93rd-minute away goal at Stamford Bridge.

A stunning first-half volley from Michael Essien looked to have earned Chelsea victory and set up a repeat of last year's Champions League final against Manchester United.

But Andres Iniesta beat Petr Cech in the third minute of added time to send the Spanish bench and their fans delirious and leave Guus Hiddink crestfallen.

Barcelona 3 - 3 Villarreal: Llorente the party pooper

Barcelona were made to wait for a first piece of silverware under Pep Guardiola as they let a two-goal lead slip at home to Villarreal in the Primera Liga this evening.

Seydou Keita's deflected effort gave Barca an early lead, and although Joseba Llorente equalised 10 minutes later, the home side took a two-goal lead in at the break thanks to strikes from Samuel Eto'o and Dani Alves.

And they were cruising in the second half until Eric Abidal was dismissed for the second time in five days with 14 minutes left.

Mati Fernandez converted the resulting spot-kick and Llorente crashed home a dramatic late equaliser to silence an expectant home crowd deep into injury time.

Athletic Bilbao 1 - 4 Barcelona: Barca wins Spanish Cup

Brilliant Barcelona clinched the first silverware of the Pep Guardiola era tonight after fighting back from an early deficit to crush Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey final at the Mestalla.

Gaizka Toquero had given Athletic brief hope of ending their 25-year trophy barren spell when he gave the Basque side an early lead, but Barca stormed back with goals from Yaya Toure, Lionel Messi, Bojan Krkic and Xavi to lift the cup.

Mallorca 2 - 1 Barcelona: Barca in unlikely defeat

Barcelona's title celebrations fell flat as they surrendered a one-goal advantage to slip to a 2-1 defeat at Real Mallorca.

With Real Madrid's defeat against Villarreal on Saturday night handing the Catalan side the Primera Division crown, expectations were of a showcase of Barca's attacking skills.

Samuel Eto'o scored after 10 minutes to set the expected tone but from there on it was a disappointing day for both player and club, as the striker missed a hatful of chances - including a last-gasp penalty.

At the other end a fine strike from the impressive Juan Arango and a deft Loureiro Santana header sealed the points for the hosts.

Barcelona 0 - 1 Osasuna: Barca in second consecutive defeat

Barcelona suffered a 1-0 home defeat to relegation-threatened Osasuna in their last match before Wednesday's Champions League final against Manchester United in Rome.

Uruguayan striker Walter Pandiani headed the only goal of the game from a first-half corner to boost the Pamplona side's chances of Primera Division survival and subject Pep Guardiola's side to only their second home defeat in the league this season.

Congratulation to all Barcelona's supporters.
Champion of Europe.

Two well-taken goals in each half sealed it for Barcelona after enduring the start of the game about 10-15 minutes where Man Utd threaten to over-run you. But once the first goal was scored,Barcelona settled into their usual playing style,thatz the passing game.

Barcelona hv brought justice to football by beating the most arrogant and ugliest team in the world.

[joew2005]

Barcelona 2 - 0 Manchester United: Messi seals emphatic Barca win

Manchester United discovered what it is like to lose a European Cup final as brilliant Barcelona ruled Rome on Wednesday, securing a comfortable 2-0 win.

Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi scored the goals either side of half-time but to single those two out for special praise would be unfair on their team-mates, and particularly Xavi, who was simply awesome.
