Former Swedish national team, now a player for the team, Henrik Larsson, after Wednesday's 2-1 victory in the UEFA Champions League final against "Arsenal" did not hide his joy and stated that there is probably no better way to end his career.
As we reported earlier, these were Larsson's last matches in the "Barcelona" lineup, as this summer the player will leave the club and return to his native Sweden to finish his career as a professional footballer.
"It was a very tough match, but our team deserved the win," Larsson said, unable to hide his joy. "In my opinion, there is no better way to end a career in a team like "Barcelona" than yesterday's match."
Remember that coming on as a substitute, Larsson turned the game around for "Arsenal", who were leading 1-0, becoming the hero of the match by scoring two goals and helping his team win the champions title.
"During the two years spent in "Barcelona", I gained a huge amount of experience. We won the Spanish league twice, and now also the UEFA Champions League,"
Cameroonian Samuel Eto'o, who scored the equalizing goal for "Barcelona" in the final match, also expressed his joy after the final.
"I can't describe in words how I feel now," Eto'o said. "We proved to everyone who came to support us that we are the best team in Europe."
"We were behind until the 79th minute, but everyone probably remembers last year's Champions League final, which showed that nothing is ever lost until the final whistle. We were inspired by "Liverpool's" example and the team fought until the last seconds of the match."
