The final was played on 17 May 2006 at Stade de France, Saint-Denis between Barcelona and Arsenal. In the 18th minute, Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann became the first player to be sent off in a European Cup final. Despite the disadvantage, Sol Campbell gave the English side the lead in the 37th minute. Samuel Eto'o brought Barcelona back on level terms in the 76th minute, before Juliano Belletti scored the winning goal five minutes later. Liverpool were the defending champions and as they did not qualify by their league position, UEFA gave them special dispensation and allowed them to defend their title from the first qualifying round of the competition. They made the group stage and progressed but were eliminated by Benfica in the first knockout round. From the following season, UEFA reserved a berth in the group stage for the defending champions regardless of their league position.10 June 2005 Liverpool allowed to defend title http://www.uefa.com/uefa/news/Kind=128/newsId=308644.html dead https://web.archive.org/web/20070621190250/http://www.uefa.com/uefa/news/Kind%3D128/newsId%3D308644.html 21 June 2007 30 November 2008 UEFAUEFA.com June 10, 2005 Liverpool FC allowed to defend title https://www.uefa.com/newsfiles/308811.pdf August 12, 2024 UEFA Association team allocation A total of 74 teams from 49 of the 52 UEFA member associations participated in the 2005–06 UEFA Champions League (the exception being Liechtenstein, which does not organise a domestic league, Andorra and San Marino).
