Celta lost 2-3 to Arsenal in their first leg match, and now have to win by two clear goals in Highbury in a fortnight's time to continue in the competition. The English side took the lead with just over a quarter of an hour gone when Edu forced the ball past Cavallero after his first header from a Pires free kick hit Velasco on the back. Local keeper Cavallero was cut on the head as he clashed with the goal scorer, and play was stopped for four minutes while he was patched up. Four minutes later though it was the turn of Celta's Edu to score, the Brazilian midfielder celebrating his return after a long injury with a header from Sylvinho's free kick which left Lehmann with no chance.

Both Edus could have scored again before the break, and Henry went close for the visitors either side of half time. But it was Arsenal's Edu who came out on top when he picked up a pass from Reyes and left Berizzo for dead before firing a shot over Cavallero and in to the far top corner of the net. José Ignacio made it all square again after Sergio's header from Mostovoi's corner was blocked by the defence, Lehmannn getting a hand to the midfielder's shot but only succeeding in turning it into the net. But Pires restored the lead for the second time with ten minutes to go after Henry set him up, and Arsenal must now be strong favourites to go through to the last eight.
