Barca set up dream final

BARCELONA will meet Arsenal in a Champions League final that will delight football purists around the world after holding AC Milan to a goalless draw last night.

The Catalans were unable to add to the 1-0 advantage they had established in the first leg at the San Siro last week and it remains to be seen if the two most attractive sides in European football live up to their billing in Paris on May 17.

But there was no disputing that Frank Rijkaard’s Barca deserved to book their place in the final after carving out enough chances to have won this encounter at a canter.
