Match

Summary

The match saw a headed goal from Fernando Morientes and a spectacular Steve McManaman volley put Real Madrid 2–0 ahead, before Raúl sealed the win with a breakaway third goal, rounding Santiago Cañizares after Real had cleared a Valencia corner.

The win was Real's eighth European Cup Championship overall and their second in three years, and was notable for being Vicente Del Bosque's first title as manager. It was also a landmark for being the first final played between two teams from the same nation, as well as for having Englishman McManaman become the first player from his nation, to win the tournament with a foreign club.
