Lehmann saves Riquelme's penalty and leads Arsenal to the 2006 Champions League final

It was a dramatic end to a very strong Champions League season. After Arsenal were able to eliminate Real Madrid, among others, on the way to the semi-finals, a supposedly easy opponent awaited them in Villarreal. But the first leg, which the Gunners narrowly won 1-0, showed that "the yellow submarine" should not be underestimated.

Villarreal pressed for 90 minutes and then got it in the 90th minute a controversial penalty.

The Riquelme team started, but Jens Lehmann parried!

For Lehmann at this point it was the crowning moment of a sensational Champions League season, even though he would become a tragic figure in the final.
