UEFA Championship - How do you feel about Lehmann's Red Card?
Henry shouldn't have received the Yello Card because he played the ball 100%. The Barca player was totally behind him. The Barca goal shouldn't have counted against the Lehmann penalty. Because once the whistle was blown, the referee's hands were tied. Lehamann is of course now in the history books for being the first player sent off in a Champions Final.

I'm trying to take a neutral stand in this but am really veering to tipping off the edge. That must have been the most shocking display of refereeing I have seen in years! The advantage was there and clearly played for the Lehmann red card, surely common sense should prevail and allow the goal and let us have a game of 11 v 11, rather than ruin the next 70 or more minutes by forcing Arsenal down to 10 men.
The Henry yellow card was a joke! Van Bommell had been kicking chunks out of the arsenal players all game and hardly even got a free kick against him, then Henry win a fair challenge and is cautioned!
There were many other examples of favoritism towards the Spaniards and I'm not just talking about the fact that the original choice linesman was posing in a Barca shirt before the game.
For a neutral it ruined what promised to be a truly great final, especially after the start when Arsenal were attacking. From an English point of view it a travesty, I guess from a Spanish point of view it would be hard lines!
I've said my bit but man am I still mad!

what a **** up by uefa to put this totally inept referee in charge of one of the biggest games in world football,totally dodgy!! maybe the British teams should take a leaf out of the foreign teams and cheat more!
van bommel so called hard man rolling around like a big girl! what a shame for the neutrals like myself who wanted to see a good fair game,spoilt by a incompetent prat in black!! barcelona won this game with 13 men!! well done!

weak! a free kick yes but to toss one of the greatest goalies in the game now in a huge stage like this no way. this referee is off, henry's tackle was a good one and somehow he got a yellow for it.
