		There was still time for another sub, Alexander Zickler, who had earlier hit the bar, to shoot inches over as the Germans gained a small measure of revenge for United's last-gasp victory in the 1999 final at Barcelona.
		Their build-up work was neat but they failed to create any clear chances and in the second half lost their way as Bayern began to look the stronger side.
		Barthez kept United in the game from then on with two stunning saves to deflect long-range efforts from Jens Jeremies round the post.

		Santini said he would stick by his experienced players for the final Euro 2004 qualifier against Israel on October 11 but after that it would be time to experiment before naming his squad for the finals in Portugal.

		Barthez is prone to bad errors of judgment and eccentric mistakes as he showed when given a straight red card for a crude foul in the UEFA Cup final.
		But the sometimes erratic nature of the Frenchman was shown in the UEFA Cup final where conceded a penalty and was sent off.

		However, with an eccentricity rating of 20, Barthez is inclined to do some pretty stupid things on occasion.
		Who can forget his many shining moments in last years premier league, most of which seemed to end with Barthez bowling over one of his own defenders while the ball trickled into the back of the net.
		Personally, I always try and sell Barthez at the beginning, aside from his regular "moments" he is 32 and with the 23 year-old Tim Howard you have many years to develop an already outstanding goalkeeper.

		Recently Domenech favoured the Olympique Marseille gardien Barthez- who will be 36 in June- but the French supporters recently booed and jeered the ex-Manchester United man in the shock friendly defeat to Slovakia.
		It will be interesting to see whether or not Domenech bows to pressure from the supporters and installs Coupet as his number one.
		Fabian Barthez is still flamboyant but he made some terrible blunders that did not endear himself to Man U fans who still smart from their loss to Deportivo Coruna in the European Cup in 2001.

		Three minutes into the second half a free-kick from Gilles Yapi Yapo forced a diving save from Barthez, and the Marseille keeper was again called upon in the 56th minute to block a shot from Moldovan, who had ripped through the home defence.
		Nantes enjoyed a late spell of pressure and Barthez was almost embarrassed in injury time when Gregory Pujol spotted the keeper off his line, and attempted to lob the ball over the player.
		However, Barthez somehow managed to scramble back and prevent his side from slipping to a late defeat.

	Barthez, Fabien - Review - Just brilliant!!
		Fabian Barthez is a world class goalkeeper for Man Utd and i wish he had joined us earlier.
		Since joining them i think the defence and the rest of the team has more confidence in the keeper than they had in Bosnich- he was too much of a liability.
		Barthez is very eccentric and does some very crazy things.

		Rachubka had to fill the shoes of World Cup and European Championship winner Barthez and the man from San Luis Obispo did so with a cleansheet that helped Manchester United win 2-0 and extend its lead at the top of the league table to 16 points.
		With flamboyant Fabian ahead of him in the pecking order, he must wait for his time to come, use that time to learn from arguably the best keeper in the world and enjoy his development at the biggest club in the world.

		Having been a long time admirerof Peter Schmeichel I didn't think that there was ever going to be a goalkeeper as good let alone one that I feel will be even better.
		Schmeichel will always be one of the best goalkeepers of all time but in my eyes Barthez could well become the best goalkeeper ever.
		At times Alex Ferguson must be pulling his hair out at the things barthez attempts to do.

		PARIS, March26, 2005 (IPC+ Agencies)-The French national football team's goalkeeper, Fabian Barthez, declined last Wednesday to take part in a match with the Israeli team due to the latter's government policy against the Palestinian people, Palestine News Agency (WAFA) reported.
		According to the Israeli Daily Yediout Ahronot's online edition, the French goalkeeper's decision was surprising as he refused to accompany his team to Israel by saying " how come they want to play with Israel amid all such suffering in the world".
		Barthez's remarks came ahead of matches with Switzerland's team and Israel's expected this week, within the fourth European Union final preparations for the 2006 World Cup championship.
