If I were a betting Silver Surfer, I would place my well-earned cosmic pennies on Arsenal FC.\nBarcelona may have the better team, but this is proving to be a classic scenario of underdog doing good.\nIn previous years, Arsenal have done well in the Premiership and failed miserably in advanced stages of the Champions League.\n\nThis season, one of their worst in a decade, they have nothing to lose... and what happens: they make it to the Finals. \n\nLast but not least, a victory against Barca in a fortnight might even enable the Gunners to knock Spurs out of Europe next season. [should the Whites finish their (astonishing) season ahead of Arsenal in 4th, then they would qualify for Champions League 06-07, unless Arsenal win]\n\nNever underestimate the man in the corner.

I think people do not give Arsenal enough credit.  They have a perfect team for European football... granted, that has not translated into domestic success this season, but they have been playing stellar football in Europe!  They currently have the hottest goalkeeper in the world in their squad, and that has got to count for something.  In addition, they have what I would consider the best striker in the world, along with a great defense (I'd pick Toure, Eboue, and Gilberto ahead of a lot of other players to build my defense around, I can tell you that!  Not to mention Sol is coming back to solidify the back!  Their midfield isn't too shabby either, with the 2nd most talented young midfielder in the world in Cesc Fabregas, only Leo Messi is better at this time!  It will be very close, but I have to cheer for my gunners all the way!  They will beat Barcelona in the final 2-1!

Barca.  Arsenal have been saved numberous times by there captian Henry.  Without him (to a lesser Lehman) they wouldbe a Bolton or New Castle.  I must agree that Arsenal are young team that could get better a lot better, they are just not there yet.\n\nBarca has not only the greatest footballer in Ronaldinho but they have superstars like Eto, Deco, Messi even look at there depth.  A middle of the pack defender like Marquez is still booming with leadership and experience, being the captain of Mexico. They have the grit coming from Motta, arsenal has now one who plays like that.  A good tackle can really boost a team.\n\nThat was an easy one. \n\nThat isn't to say that Barca will win.  Any team could win at any time, It is just to say Arsenal could not match Barca's best.

I'm hoping it'll be Barca.. worst thing would be for Arsenal to win and take Spurs' champions league spot if we finish 4th!

If Arsenal don't win the Champions League, there's a very strong possibility that Henry will move, most probably to Barca :(\n\nHope the main Gunner stays at Arsenal!

Definately Barcelona, you just can't see them throwing away an away win and away goal at home, especially the way they are playing.  If Barca go on to win the Champions League then Ronaldinho will further his argument as the greatest player of all time - he's certainly in the top 3/4 already behind Maradonna and Pele.  Barca and Arsenal final, looks very much like they will go all the way.  AC Milan, great a team as they are, just can't seem to cope tactically when they are behind; just look at how we (Liverpool) managed to recoup 3 goals in a matter of minutes in last years final - their coach just stood bewildered and didn't make any changes or do anything to stop the barage of goals.  That tells me they don't deal with pressure very well.  Barca deserve to win this year, they are playing truly beautiful football and have done the whole season both at home and in Europe.

Arsenal CAN win the champions league, but they can't be knocked of there stride by Man.U at the weekend. they should beat villareal, but you can never be sure... as for barcelona, anything could happen between them and AC milan. in a way there a bit like chelsea: destroying everyone in there respective leagues, but then stuttering at the end of the season, barely making it past Benfica in the last round. so my prediction for the final is: AC milan vs Arsenal.

While Arsenals run has been very impressive with 9 straight clean sheets, I feel it will come to an end in Paris against Barcelona.  I definatley am leaning towards Barca and Ronaldinho, however won't count Arsenal out due to the way they play.  There are two reasons I am picking Barca to win, the first is that Arsenal at times have struggled on the road, and while this isn't a Barca home game, it also is not in the friendly confines of Highbury.  The other reason I feel they won't win is because I feel that it is Barca's time, and they are just too strong offensively to stop.\n\nThis game however really could go either way, both teams play a very offensive minded system, with lots of free flowing football.  It really should be an incredible game to watch.  I would be surprised if the scoreline was something like 3-2 or some other high goal count.

Arsenal and Barcelona from England and Spain respectively are going to fight it out for the cup. As a Man U fan, I'd certainly want Arsenal to lose.

The Gunners definitely! they have been coming either 1st or second for the past wat? ten seasons in england- buts thats not my reason for calling them the best,no- they are the best because they make football interesting! they know the essence of soccer-its a game and games are supposed to be ENJOYED! they win 7-0 they win 6-0 vs everton because they keep attacking! which team ever tried to pass a penalty? only ARSENAL! thats why they are great!
