Sqauds

Arsenal: Lehmann, Almunia, Eboue, Toure, Senderos, Hleb, Flamini, Fabregas, Gilberto, Pires, Henry, Djourou, Song, Bergkamp, van Persie, Reyes, Walcott, Diaby.

Juventus: Buffon, Chiellini, Vieira, Kovac, Pessotto, Emerson, Ibrahimovic, Balzaretti, Camoranesi, Trezeguet, Mutu, Zambrotta, Blasi, Thuram, Bonnefoi, Giannichedda, Olivera, Zalayeta, Zebina, Cannavaro, Abbiati.

Verdict from ITV.com

Nobody gave Arsenal a hope going into the tie against Real Madrid, but in the end they showed just what they are capable of when they're up against a real challenge. However Juventus are a much better side than Madrid at the moment, and so the Gunners will have to raise the bar once again. The question is how high can they go? A draw looks likely, but Arsenal could shade it by a goal.

I reckon Juve will win 3-1.

NO WAY
2-0 Arsenal
Juve arent that amazing - we're better.

I reckon Arsenal will win, 2-0. They are capable of doing so.

arsenal to win 2-0 i think

Arsenal 2 - 1 Juventus
Henry Trezeguet/Viera
Fabregas

Possibly 1-1 or 2-1 to Arsenal

Result : Arsenal 2 - 0 Juventus!
Report : Juventus played terrible and lacked enthusiam. They had only 1 attempt on goal I believe in the end. Cesc Fabregas scored a nice goal set up by a superb sliding challenge on patrick veira too retrive the ball from the halfway line. Henry scored the second goal for Arsenal around 20 minutes into the second half. Veira picked up a booking another 5 minutes later meaning that he will miss out on the game in Turin. Camoranesi was booked in the first half for a rash clip of the heel perfectly intentionally. Then at around 85th minute with frustration ever growing he took a wild swipe at Reyes and the referee had no alternative but too show him a yellow if not a red meaning tha the he too will miss the second leg in Turin. Too my disgust he couldn't walk off the pitch and reflect, he waved and smiled as if he had enjoyed hacking Henry too the ground. Too make matters worse for Juventus Zebina got himself sent off just before injury time. Another double booking. Before Camoranesi was sent off he came the closest that Juventus got, with a clever chip that just skimmed Lehmen's post.
The second leg looks strongly in Arsenals favour one goal at Turin would nearly seal it off meaning that Juventus would need four away goals too progress too the semi-finals. Pavel Nedved should be fit but Viera, Camoranesi and Zebina will miss out. Overall not a great night for Juventus, they'll have too play with more passion and real determination too have any hope. I wouldn't count them out though throughout the season they have played some marvelous football at there home stadium.
Player of the match for me would be Francesc Fabregas, he was a big night for him - he had too proove that Arsenal could cope with Viera. He got one assist and one goal for himself. Great performance, by the whole Arsenal team on the whole.

Claps + Rep What A Great Report, I Watched That Game, Being A Gooner!! Anyway, all of that is true, and in no way is it biased. Loved every sentance. However, i would say that MOTM is Eboue, he was a great defender, and played outstanding against Mutu (who has great ability)

Well done Arsenal :) Although there isn't one english player in the starting line up, it can't be a bad thing a british club doing well...

Yeah he did play well, made some good runs up the left hand side and did keep Mutu at bay before he was substituted.

Fabregas's goal was brilliant !

yay henry scored :)

lol 2 players got sent off for juv. i dont want nedved to go back on since he's good..

Arsenal were all over them, well done to them, despite not being a fan, they're English [well, kind of ;P] so I cheered them on.
