Champions League Winners: Barcelona 2005-06 Quiz

Answer: 9

Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho led the team in the goalscoring department, scoring five of Barcelona's 16 goals. Samuel Eto'o scored three times, netting a hat-trick in the fourth fixture against Greek side Panathinaikos. Deco scored twice for the Catalan club. Six different players scored on one occasion.

This includes Lionel Messi, Henrik Larsson, Andres Iniesta, Mark Van Bommel, Gabri and Santiago Ezquerro.

Answer: Netherlands

Two different Dutch referees took charge of Barcelona group stage games in 2005-06, with Rene Temmink taking charge of Barca's 5-0 win over Panathinaikos and Eric Braamhaar the man in charge for a 2-0 win over Udinese in the final group game.

England's Stephen Bennett took charge of Barcelona's 4-1 win over Udinese, while Norwegian Terje Hauge refereed Barcelona's 2-0 away win against Werder Bremen in the opening match day. Danish referee Claus Bo Larsen oversaw Barca's 3-1 win over Werder Bremen at the Nou Camp.

Answer: Arsenal and Lyon

Arsenal won Group B with 16 points, five points ahead of second-placed Ajax. Lyon won Group F with the same tally. While AC Milan did win their group, but with eleven points, Manchester United were eliminated from European competition with just six points in Group D.

Neither Chelsea nor Real Madrid won their groups, finishing as runners-up to Liverpool and Lyon respectively. Inter and Bayern both scored 13 points, with Inter winning their group and Bayern finishing as runners-up to Juventus.

Answer: Samuel Eto'o

Barcelona won 2-1 at Stamford Bridge. After a goalless first half, Chelsea took the lead in the 59th minute thanks to a Thiago Motta own goal. John Terry returned the favour in the 71st minute with an equalising own goal. With ten minutes left in the game, Eto'o gave the Blaugrana a 2-1 lead that they would carry into the second leg.

Answer: It was a penalty kick

Barcelona took a 1-0 lead thanks to Ronaldinho's sixth Champions League goal of the season in the 78th minute. Chelsea were given a penalty as the game approached stoppage time, and the spot kick was converted by Frank Lampard.

Answer: 2-0

The first leg of the tie was fairly uneventful, with the sides drawing 0-0 at Benfica's Estadio Da Luz. Barcelona were able to get the victory in the second leg at the Nou Camp, with Ronaldinho and Eto'o goals sending Barcelona to the semi-finals with a 2-0 aggregate score.

As an interesting side note, Benfica were managed by Barcelona's 1992 European Cup hero Ronald Koeman and the team had eliminated defending European champions Liverpool in the Round of 16.

Answer: 2002

Barcelona had made it to the final four in the 2001-02 Champions League, eventually losing out to Real Madrid, who would go on to win the competition. Barca were eliminated in the opening group stage of the 2000-01 edition of the tournament.

The Blaugrana were beaten in the quarter-finals of the 2002-03 Champions League by Juventus with a 3-2 aggregate score. A poor league showing in La Liga in 2002-03 meant that Barcelona only qualified for the UEFA Cup in 2003-04, reaching the fourth round.

Answer: Ludovic Giuly

Giuly was not one of the stars of Barcelona's campaign in 2005-06, but his 57th minute goal in the first leg may just have been the most important one of his career. Barcelona drew 0-0 with their Italian rivals in the second leg at the Nou Camp, with the Blaugrana winning 1-0 on aggregate and heading to the final.

Answer: 76th minute

Barcelona's equaliser galvnised the team, and just four minutes later Juliano Belletti scored the game's winning goal. Arsenal had been reduced to ten men in the 18th minute when Jens Lehmann was sent off and their belief ran out when Belletti scored. Barcelona won the game 2-1 and won their second European Cup.

Answer: Spanish

Four Spanish players started the final. Barcelona's Victor Valdes, Oleguer and Carles Puyol, alongside Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas, filled this quota.

Three Brazilians started the game, with Barca starting Ronaldinho and Edmilson while Gilberto Silva played for Arsenal. France also had three players in the final, with Ludovic Giuly, Robert Pires and Thierry Henry starting.

Despite Arsenal's geographical position, Ashley Cole and Sol Campbell were the only two native starters for the Gunners.
