16 years ago today, a cameo performance from Henrik Larsson just after the hour mark, brought Barcelona their second Champions League title. His two assists were enough to overcome the lead 10-man Arsenal held.
Celtic fans celebrated that title as that win ensured we gained entry to the following season’s Champions League group stage without having to endure the qualification rounds. As a consequence, the club booked two summer tours, one to the USA and one to Japan, each earning multi-million pound pay cheques. A year earlier, the best on offer was perfunctory warm-up games against Fulham, Leicester and Leeds.
The commercial department has already lined up a lucrative Australian tour for the World Cup break later this year. After media coverage of the tile win in Australia this week, the optics of that tour now look great. The challenge now is to fill dates in July and August with similar earners
Much of the world is still slumbering from post-lockdown blues, which has dampened appetite for the commercial risk surrounding events. Still, the earning opportunities from pre-qualification is a substantial benefit to a club like Celtic.
Can you name the two who started that Barcelona-Arsenal Champions League final and who also played for Celtic?

well thats hadrly any evidence at all they are rangers supporters.

Can we scale back the reports from Seville for the time being?
It all seems a bit petty and pathetic.
If it kicks off properly, fine, we’ll get to claim the moral high ground though the locals will have to suffer it.
If it doesn’t then then the pre match build up makes us look stupid.

Ernie @ 11.00.
You’re right, makes us look desperate for trouble to happen. Why?
====================
Agree, also wonder why we want there to be trouble.
I don’t care what the huns reaction to defeat is , As long as it’s a defeat .
KO maybe.OK by me.Seems to have done very well in Holland and Germany.
I want them rioting in the streets.Let the world see them for what they are.
I really don’t want the beautiful people and city of Sevilla troubled in any way, however, if the latest version of this fitba club behave like they always behave, as essentially they are entitled self-proclaimed supremacists, then, given the smsm tendancy to deflect bad news to protect their once liquidated heroes, I believe that it’s important to record and display such behaviour, so that they might, just for once- pay for their behaviour and learn to change, so that we and everyone else world wide can get some peace.

I suppose your right there Ernie,
The press lines means a certain inevitability about it kicking off,and a kind of (clip watching) fatigue is already kicking in,sad tho it is for innocents swept up in

What have you concluded?
PS I have had asthma for nearly fifty years and running was one of my activities. I never found using an inhaler gave me an advantage.
