00:00At the end of a season of unenviable controversy and speculation,

00:04Arsenal again find themselves the envy of every other English football club.

00:09European finalists for the second season running.

00:14Only five survived from the team that beat Palmer in Copenhagen last year.

00:18Four of them in defence where Andy Linegan comes in for the suspended Steve Bould.

00:22Last year Ian Wright missed the big night because of a ban.

00:25Tonight he bids to extend his remarkable record of scoring in every match on the Cup Winners' Cup run.

00:33This is virtually the same Real Zaragoza line-up that beat Chelsea so comprehensively

00:37in the first leg of the semi-final in Spain.

00:40The one changes in goal where the giant Anthony Cedrún returns.

00:45They're a fascinating foil to Arsenal's street-wise experience.

00:48A team as moody as they can be magnificent in spells.

00:51As much as the Italians can do to beat David Stephen from the penalty spot,

01:01let alone from that kind of angle.

01:07This is promising.

01:09Wright is there!

01:10That first semi-final against Chelsea.

01:17And Arsenal are having a very, very good spell.

01:20Hartzler's found Wright.

01:23Still Wright.

01:24And he was hooked behind his own goal.

01:27With Keown waiting by the full-back Solana.

01:31Ian Wright taking on Caceris, the Argentine World Cup defender, and beating him.

01:36Goalkeeper committed.

01:38And Solana...

01:39...only just avoided...

01:41...playing the ball into his own goal.

01:44And if Snyder's shot just beats the far post.

01:53Well, it wasn't the best of angles for the big Argentine,

01:56but it wasn't the best of unwitting interventions by Wintermann.

02:03Seaman had his angles all right.

02:05Here is Hillier, the half-time replacement for Keown.

02:11Looking for Hartzler.

02:13Now, as he's being held by Belsuay.

02:15Referee had a good look from a good angle.

02:18And said nothing doing.

02:21Well, I suppose you could say it was six of one and half does in the other.

02:23That's a good ball for Belsuay.

02:29Three in support of him.

02:30This is Ed Snyder.

02:31Let it run.

02:31Iguera.

02:32Good save by Seaman.

02:33Iguera again.

02:35Over the top.

02:38Hartzler's got on here.

02:41Chance all off the line by Belsuay from Merson.

02:45Boyette's header only as far as Merson again.

02:47And what a piece of defending by Belsuay.

02:54The Spanish international right back.

02:55John Harsin did so well.

02:58And the goal was gaping for Merson, but Belsuay got back.

03:03Esnayder.

03:06He's got the better of Lennigan here.

03:09He recovered well.

03:12Very well.

03:12Back for Aragon to strike.

03:18Goal kick.

03:21Aragon felt that David Seaman had got a touch on that.

03:29Esnayder.

03:30It's a good volley.

03:31It's in.

03:33A spectacular goal by Juan Eduardo Esnayder for Real Zaragoza.

03:42An unstoppable volley by a young player who is set to become one of the stars of the

03:47world game.

03:48Esnayder, the Argentine.

03:53Something out of nothing.

03:58And just as Arsenal were victorious with a stunning left-footed volley from Alan Smith

04:03a year ago.

04:04So it's an equally brilliant effort from Esnayder, which has put them behind in this

04:08year's final.

04:09Seaman never moved.

04:10Solana's header only as far as Schwarz.

04:22Dixon.

04:23Adams waiting alongside Hartz on the edge of the penalty area.

04:27Dixon has played...

04:27Ball into the box by Merson.

04:34Well, I think it's Hartz.

04:44Rather a rush hour is that by Alan.

04:46It's advantage played.

04:47Here goes Esnayder on to Belsuay's pass.

04:49He's got Pardeser just inside of him.

04:51Here is Pardeser.

04:52He's got a penalty.

04:54The referee has got his whistle in his mouth and he's not giving anything.

05:00Well.

05:02The Zaragoza bench can't believe it.

05:04Dixon came flying in.

05:06Well.

05:13Hartz almost linked up with right then.

05:17Belsuay.

05:17looking for Esnayder between defenders.

05:23Great chest control.

05:28Well, he did have a player in support to his left.

05:30Naeem had got up.

05:31Juan and Pardeser who were up in the box.

05:33Oh, what a save by Seaman.

05:56Well, is there no end to this match heroics in this Cup Winners' Cup run?

06:01He had a little bit of luck, but my goodness, he earned it.

06:05Terrific save from Aguado's header.

06:09David Seaman's goal down to the right hand then.

06:11Arsenal mainly to the left.

06:13Naeem going for glory from long range.

06:14And Seaman struggling.

06:15Oh, it's there!

06:19Naeem, the former tournament player,

06:21has won the Cup Winners' Cup for Real Zaragoza

06:24with a most extraordinary goal.

06:26David Seaman preparing himself for more penalty heroics

06:34is caught out

06:35by an impossible finish from Naeem.

06:40Injury time in extra time.

06:47And there could be no answer to that.

06:52What an irony.

06:54Naeem, who won the FA Cup with Tottenham Hotspur,

06:58who was involved in those classic Cup encounters with Arsenal.

07:01Arsenal scoring a dream goal.

07:07But when Arsenal wake up in the morning,

07:10it will really have happened.

07:14And Seaman got one desperate hand on the ball,

07:17but couldn't keep it out.

07:18It's a miracle goal.

07:26And it's the last moment

07:28in this incredible European adventure for Arsenal.

07:35At the end of our most curious season,

07:40Real Zaragoza victorious over Chelsea in the semi-finals

07:44have now beaten Arsenal in the final.

07:47There is no happy ending

07:49to the incredible story of Arsenal's season.

07:57Arsenal will go up first.

07:59Tony Adams, who got his hands on the real thing in Copenhagen,

08:03has to make do with the shield for the runners-up.

08:06David Seaman

08:06will look long and hard

08:11with the old park acer of Real Zaragoza.

08:16The Cup-winners' Cup departs Highbury

08:18with it the hope of European football next season

08:21for whoever is in charge of the club.

08:24And departs in the blink of an eye.

08:26So we can just bring it to the finish line.

08:33We can just tell you it's hard to us.

08:34I know that

08:35the hero is rehearsing.

08:38We'll be right back after us.

08:39And we'll be right back on the final level,

08:42the whose fans working at the post tomorrow

08:45has to become very simple.

08:48The African American Neown
