Hail Henrik!
This European Cup Final in 2006 will go down in history as the Henrik Larrson Final. There has been no finer player to grace the European stage than the Legendary striker who turns everything he touches to gold. Larsson truly is one of the all-time Greats and we in Scotland are blessed to have been able to worship him.
What a Final it was this evening. Arsenal's goalie was sent packing for a deliberate hauling down of the Barca attacker and then Sol Campbell does a Stephen McManus with a bullet header from a corner kick.
It all seems to be going pear-shaped for Barca as so-called World Player of the Year, Ronaldinho, plays a stinker again. I've never seen this player display any consistency which make him anything other than a luxury Barcelona should punt.
This is the very same player who regular readers will know I have highlighted as being a chancer and who never finished on a winning side against Celtic in four chances. The guy is a class one dud.
It was on 60 minutes that the Barca manager, who is well known for spitting on Rudi Vouller in the 1990 World Cup Quarter Final, tossed on oor Henke and changed the course of history. Larsson came up trumps again and provided two assists which grabbed the European Cup from jaws of defeat into a momentous victory. If I was Gordon Strachan I would haul Nakamura in front of a telly and tell him that's what he should be doing.
Larsson is a special talent. He really is. If you consider the non-performers tonight, excluding the Brazilian dud, you had Deco the Diver, the ex-Rangers journey man, and the Barca Captain. These 4 players all handicapped Barca and it took the Genius of Henrik Larsson to turn it all about.
Over and above this, Henrik's MVP performance tonight propelled Celtic into the Champions League group stages in the lofty heights of pot two. What a wonderful achievement for Celtic and Scotland.
Tonight is a victory for everybody. God Bless Henrik. God Bless Barcelona.
God Bless Celtic.
