Pele: Barcelona lucky European champs

Pele says Barcelona had luck on their side in last week's Champions League victory over Arsenal.

"It is good to see a final like that, with emotion like that," Brazil legend Pele said.
"The game was good but I think Barcelona were a little bit lucky.
"Arsenal couldn't settle the game, they had two or three good chances when it was 1-0 with Thierry Henry - normally he doesn't miss those kind of chances."
Pele, who is in Britain for the launch of his new autobiography, added: "The second goal was very lucky with the Brazilian guy Belletti, but this is football.
"Barcelona were good, it was a good game."
