Barcelona advance to the Champions League final

FC Barcelona drew 0-0 with AC Milan on Wednesday to advance to the Champions League final 1-0 on aggregate. Barcelona will play Arsenal at the Stade de France in Paris on May 17 after it won the first leg of the semifinals on forward Ludovic Giuly's goal at the San Siro last week. Milan goalkeeper Dida made two one-on-one saves to deny Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o in the first half and another block on a header from reserve forward Henrik Larsson after halftime.

Milan striker Andriy Shevchenko had a goal disallowed in the 69th minute for a foul on Barcelona captain and defender Carles Puyol in front of a sold-out 95,000-capacity Camp Nou stadium.
