The European Champions Cup began in 1955 and developed into the UEFA Champions League from 1992 onwards. This handbook is concerned with the 2007/2008 season for this historic competition and consists of four sections. The first contains all the facts and figures about the Champions Cup and, in particular, the Champions League. The biggest section is the second section which contains details on all of the clubs that have qualified, including all head-to-heads against their group opponents, general information on the club itself, a brief history of the club along with all their European performances, and a squad list with Champions League statistics. The final section contains a variety of statistics on Europe's premier club competition.

The squads in this document are unofficial but as accurate as we can get them at this stage. Clubs are also allowed to add young players throughout the season and they can change their squad during the winter break for the competition. All Champions League statistics listed are correct to the end of last season.

It is important to note that we employ a number of definitions about European football and the Champions League in particular. These are presented in the introduction to the club section so please read these as they will help you to understand why we have taken certain decisions.

We hope you will enjoy the content of this book and the value it brings to your profession. Furthermore, we are looking forward to receiving your questions, comments, ideas and input to improve further publications.

2.3 > Major developments in European Champions Cup/Champions League

1955/1956 European Cup begins.

1967/1968 European Cup is seeded for the first time. Seeding was based on clubs who had been finalists and countries who had supplied finalists.

1967/1968 Away goals rule was introduced but only used for the first two rounds. Previously play-offs had been used to decide ties and these remained for the quarter-finals onwards. Matches that still could not be decided by away goals in the first two rounds were decided on the toss of a coin.

1968/1969 Tournament boycotted by the five nations (Bulgaria, East Germany, Hungary, Poland and the Soviet Union) involved in providing troops for the invasion of Czechoslovakia.

1968/1969 Clubs were allowed to bring on two outfield substitutes for any reason and were allowed to select from five nominated players.

1970/1971 All matches (except the final) were now decided by a penalty shoot-out if the teams could not be separated by the away goals rule that had been introduced three years earlier.

1988/1989 UEFA instructed that no club could field more than three foreign players in European competitions.

1991/1992 The European Cup moves to a partial league format for the first time.

1992/1993 Competition becomes the Champions League. Clubs with the same points at the end of the league stages will be separated by their head-to-head results and then goal difference.

1993/1994 Top two clubs in the league stage progress to semi-finals for the first time.

1994/1995 UEFA allow the champions of the top eight countries to go straight to the league stages for the first time. Quarter-finals were also re-introduced as there were now four groups with the top two in each going to the last eight.

1996/1997 The Bosman ruling in December 1995 made the UEFA restrictions on foreign players unlawful and clubs were allowed to play as many foreign players as they wanted.

1997/1998 Runners-up from the domestic leagues of the top eight countries are given places in the Champions League. Six groups are implemented for the first time with the group winners and two best runners-up progressing to the last eight.

1999/2000 There are now eight groups with up to four clubs from a country entering the competition. Three preliminary rounds take place before the league stages and 16 clubs (two from each of the top six countries and the champions of countries ranked 7th to 10th) are given automatic places in the league stages. A second group phase of four groups takes place after the first group stage and then knckout begins from the quarter-finals on. Matches are now scheduled for Tuesdays and Wednesdays instead of just one day during the week. The first Champions Cup (in 1955/1956) involved a total of seven matches for Real Madrid to become champions. Now the champions will have played seventeen matches before they get their hands on the trophy.

2003/2004 After four years of two group phases, the 2003/2004 season was the first since 1998/1999 with just one group phase. The numbers beginning the tournament remains the same but knockout begins with a round of 16 after the first group phase – obviously the top two from each group qualify for this.

3.1 > Definitions

In this section, you will find a lot of statistics and it needs to be clear how we define certain things. These are outlined below:

European competition There is a history of all European seasons for each club in this section and records are given for each club in European competition. These refer to matches played in the Champions Cup (or Champions League), Cup Winners’ Cup and UEFA Cup (or Fairs Cup). The matches played in a season do include preliminary or qualifying rounds but do not include competitions such as the European Super Cup or Intertoto Cup.

Champions League statistics When the Champions League statistics are presented, they refer to the competition from the 1992/1993 season onwards and they only refer to matches played in the group stages or later knockout stages. In other words, preliminary rounds or rounds played before the group stages do not count. We have chosen this definition because it is the one that UEFA uses. It also makes sense in terms of top scorer lists as the players who play in preliminary rounds should not have an advantage because they have played a very weak opponent (i.e. Michael Owen a few seasons ago against FC Haka). All players have complete and correct Champions League statistics up to and including last season's final.

We can provide statistics on individual players which include these earlier rounds if you require them. Just phone our Sportsdesk.

Squads We have published squads as the players who we think are attached to the clubs as of 31 August 2007.

Table is ranked on the basis of three points for a win (Pts3).

5.1 > The beginnings In December 1954, the English champions Wolverhampton Wanderers played top Hungarian club Honved as their first opposition under their new floodlights. The opposition were chosen because the English national team had been destroyed twice by Hungary in the previous season. When Wolves came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2, they were therefore proclaimed the club champions of the world by some English newspapers. This proclamation came to the attention of Gabriel Hanot, an ex-international footballer for France and the editor of French sports newspaper L'Équipe. He suggested that a new tournament should be adopted wherein nominated clubs from the major European nations would compete against each other in midweek matches to establish which club really were the best in Europe.

The response to Hanot's idea was mixed, with the English FA in particular, complaining that a competition of this sort would damage the domestic competition. However, Hanot was not put off by this and convened a meeting involving 15 European clubs in Paris where his idea was fine-tuned into a knockout competition rather than a European league. He then presented this to FIFA who agreed that the new European Cup should be instigated and run by its European body, UEFA. Initially, the competing clubs were not necessarily the national champions of their countries but FIFA changed this for the second season of the competition. The European Champions Cup kicked off for the first time in September 1955 with 16 competing clubs.

5.2 > The 1950s The early years of the European Champions Cup were all about one club - Spain's Real Madrid. In 1955/1956, they reached the final by winning 7-0 on aggregate against Swiss club Servette, 4-3 against Partizan Belgrade and 5-4 against AC Milan. The first ever final took place in Paris against Stade de Reims and Real were soon 2-0 down. However, they had fought back to 2-2 by half-time. Reims again went ahead in the second half but Real scored twice more to win 4-3. The following season, clubs from six more countries joined the 16 nations that had sent clubs the previous year. This meant that a preliminary round was required to reduce the first round entry list to 16. However, the result was the same with Real Madrid successfully defending their trophy and winning the final 2-0 in their own stadium in front of 124,000 supporters against Italian champions Fiorentina.

In 1957, more countries joined the competition but Real found it even easier to reach the final. However, the competition was marred by tragedy in the other half of the draw. A young Manchester United team had stormed into the quarter-finals where they played Red Star Belgrade. After winning the home leg 2-1, United played an outstanding first half in Belgrade and took a 3-0 lead into the break. Although the Yugoslavs fought back in the second half, the English champions had done enough and were heading for a semi-final with AC Milan. Tragically, the plane carrying the United team back to England crashed on take-off after refuelling in Munich. Most of the young squad were killed and manager Matt Busby was seriously injured. He recovered and United played on in the competition but went out to AC Milan. The Real - AC Milan final was played in Brussels with Milan taking 1-0 and 2-1 leads in the second half. However, Real took the match to extra-time and Gento scored the winner in the 107th minute of the match. Real had now won three out of three. The following year Real won again in a forgettable final to take their fourth European Cup in a row.

The fifth season of the fledgling trophy, in 1959/1960, is remembered for one thing; the classic final in Glasgow which is rated as the greatest football match ever. Real Madrid had again breezed through to the final and their opponents were German champions Eintracht Frankfurt. Eintracht had struggled against Wiener in the quarter-finals but had then utterly demolished Scottish champions Rangers in the semi-final and were thought to be worthy opponents for Real. However, the final proved that they were no match for the Spanish club as Alfredo di Stefano and Ferenc Puskas ran the game. The Germans scored first but were already 3-1 down by half-time with Di Stefano claiming two goals and Puskas one. Puskas added three more in the second half before Frankfurt scored their second. Immediately after this Di Stefano completed his hat- trick to take the score to 7-2. The Germans scored one more to take the final score to 7-3. Eintracht had played so well that observers felt they would have beaten any other club in Europe that night but their opponents had simply played on a different plane. This was Real's fifth Champions Cup in a row and their worthy opponents have not played in the competition since that night.

5.3 > The 1960s Attendances in the first five years had risen and risen with more than two million people attending the 52 matches in the 1959/1960 competition. Participants had gradually risen too with 26 clubs beginning the 1960/1961 competition. Real Madrid were now finding life a little more difficult and they experienced a first round exit against their Spanish rivals Barcelona. The Catalan club went onto the final where they played Portuguese champions Benfica. Barca were strong favourites but two mistakes in two minutes by goalkeeper Ramallets made the score 2-1 to Benfica at half-time and the Benfica defence completed the job in the second half by keeping almost everything out that Barcelona could throw at them to win 3-2. Real Madrid were back in the final a year later where they lost a classic final 5-3 to holders Benfica whose young striker Eusebio scored the two crucial goals. Benfica again reached the final in 1963 but lost 2-1 to AC Milan at Wembley despite Eusebio opening the scoring. Real were back in the final in 1964 but lost 3-1 to the other Milan club, Internazionale who were the first club to win the trophy without losing a single match. This match was the last game at Real for Alfredo di Stefano who was the crucial influence on their success in the competition up to this point. Inter won the 1964/1965 competition in a very dull final against Benfica while Real Madrid were again champions in 1965/1966, coming back from a goal down to beat Partizan Belgrade 2-1 in the final.

Every final so far had seen the participation of either Real Madrid or Benfica but the 1966/1967 final involved neither of these clubs although it was held in Lisbon, the home of Benfica. Italian champions Internazionale were big favourites against Scotland's Celtic and took an early lead after just six minutes. Inter's famous defence then took over as they attempted to defend their lead for the remaining 84 minutes of the match. This looked like a reasonable strategy despite Celtic hitting the bar twice in the second half but Celtic then scored out of the blue with Gemmell firing a rocket into the top corner from outside the penalty box. With the Scots dominant after nearly an hour of solid attacking, it was no surprise to see this pattern continuing and finally, with just seven minutes left, they scored a winner through Chalmers. They had deservedly beaten Inter in one of the greatest final shocks to date and had remarkably achieved this with a group of players who had all been born in Glasgow, within a few kilometres of Celtic Park.

After the first ever British winner of the trophy came the first English winner in 1967/1968. Matt Busby had built a new team since the tragic end to his 'Busby Babes' ten years earlier and this new team progressed to the semi-finals without too many problems. There they met Real Madrid and having only won 1-0 at Old Trafford, looked like being eliminated when Real took a 3-1 lead in the first half at the Bernabeu Stadium. Unlike many coaches, Busby did not rip into his side at half-time but simply told them to 'go out and enjoy yourselves'. They did exactly this and scored a second goal after 70 minutes to take the tie level. Away goals did not decide the semi-finals in those days so United required one more goal and with five minutes left, George Best crossed to the unlikely figure of veteran defender Bill Foulkes who converted the chance to put United through 4-3. The final was at Wembley against Benfica and was not a classic for the first 90 minutes. However, with the score at 1-1 and the match going into extra-time, Busby told his players 'if you pass the ball to each other, you will beat them'. United took these words to heart and scored three goals in the first six minutes of extra-time. Benfica had played in five finals in eight years but would not reach another one until 1988.

The next two seasons saw the emergence of a new European power in club football - The Netherlands. The development of Dutch football had come to the attention of the rest of the world in 1966 when a second round Champions Cup match between Ajax and Liverpool had seen the Dutch champions win 5-1 in Amsterdam and then draw in England to take the tie. By 1968/1969 that team had matured under coach Rinus Michels and their education was almost complete when they lost 3-1 at home to 1968 finalists Benfica but still took the tie by winning 3-1 in Portugal and then winning the Paris play-off 3-0 after extra time. However, the final was still too much for Michels' young side and they lost 4-1 to AC Milan in a one-sided match. Their time would come but they didn't compete in the following year's competition as their bitter rivals Feijenoord had won the Dutch championship. Feijenoord played a very different style to the fluid game used by Ajax but it proved just as effective, particularly in the second round when they knocked out holders AC Milan 2-1 on aggregate. Feijenoord then won close ties against ASK Vorwaerts and Legia Warsaw to reach the final where they lined up against 1967 champions Celtic. Celtic's manager Jock Stein opted for a 4-2-4 formation which seriously underestimated the quality of the opposition. Feijenoord's Ernst Happel stuck to his usual sweeper system and although the Rotterdam club went 1-0 down in the first half, they soon

brought the scores level. Feijenoord dominated the second half with their speed of movement and quick passing totally baffling their opposition. However, they were unable to score the crucial goal and the game moved into extra-time. Feijenoord continued to dominate but Celtic goalkeeper Evan Williams was on inspired form. Even his performance, though, could not stop the more deserving team winning and Feijenoord scored the winner when Ove Kindvall netted after Celtic defender Billy McNeil had misjudged a through ball from Rinus Israel. Neither Celtic or Feijenoord have reached the final since.

5.4 > The 1970s Dutch football was now firmly on the map and with Ajax winning the championship, both Dutch finalists of the previous two seasons were in the hat for the 1970/1971 competition. A huge shock occurred immediately though with holders Feijenoord being knocked out by UT Arad from Romania in the first round of the competition. In the meantime, Ajax and their 'Total Football' waltzed through to the final where they surprisingly took on Greek champions Panathinaikos who had never before been past the first round. The final was uninspiring with Ajax scoring after five minutes and the Greeks never really threatening before the tie was killed by a second goal in the 87th minute. The trophy was to stay in the Netherlands. Rinus Michels then left Ajax to take up a post at Barcelona and was replaced by Romanian Stefan Kovacs but most of the line-up remained the same and again Ajax had little trouble reaching the final. Their opponents this time were Internazionale and this meant the classic struggle between Italian 'catenaccio' and Dutch 'total football'. It was quickly apparent that the Italian style was absolutely no match for the fluidity and speed of the Ajax style but there was literally nothing that Inter could do. It was almost a miracle that the game remained goalless at half-time but Johan Cruijff scored two minutes after the break when Inter's goalkeeper Bordon and defender Burgnich collided and Bordon dropped the ball. Mazzola almost equalised for Inter but Cruijff scored a deserved second with 13 minutes left and Ajax had become the third team (following Real Madrid and Internazionale) to win the trophy two years in succession. Their scintillating football would bring them a third successive win a year later.

Ajax again reached the final without any real problems on the way and they faced another Italian club, Juventus. The clash of styles was similar to the previous final and again, the more attractive style won the day. Ajax had four players (Cruijff, Suurbier, Keizer and Hulshoff) playing in their fourth final and just one playing in his first, Johnny Rep. It was Rep who scored the only goal of the match after four minutes and Ajax comfortably contained their opponents in the second half, sometimes almost arrogantly keeping the ball amongst themselves as Juventus harried and chased to try and keep possession.

After three trophies in a row, the Ajax team began to break up with Swart retiring and Cruijff joining his old mentor Rinus Michels at Barcelona. Ajax lost in the second round against CSKA Sofia and their great era in Europe was over. However, there were to be another three years of dominance to follow Ajax's. This came from a club that boasted the elegant Franz Beckenbauer, the extraordinary goalkeeper Sepp Maier, the inspired Paul Breitner, and the man who was probably the finest striker playing in the 1970s, 'Der Bomber', Gerd Müller. The club was Bayern Munich and their reign began in a very shaky fashion in the first round of the 1973/1974 competition when they squeezed past Atvidaberg of Sweden on penalties after requiring a late goal from Uli Hoeness to take it that far. In the second round, they also struggled - this time against Dynamo Dresden - before progressing 7-6 on aggregate. The quarter and semi-finals were much easier and the Bavarians went to Brussels to take on Atlético Madrid in the final. A tight match went into extra-time with no score but Atlético's Aragones scored with just seven minutes of the extra period remaining to seemingly take the trophy back to Madrid. However, yet another late goal (a long range speculative shot from Schwarzenbeck) took the match into a replay for the first time ever.This time, Bayern seemed to be far more confident after the experience of having played in a final and they thumped Atlético 4-0.

After the Germany-Netherlands World Cup final in 1974, the two favourites for the European Champions Cup were Bayern Munich (despite the departure of Breitner) and Johan Cruijff's Barcelona who were still coached by his countryman Rinus Michels. The dream Barcelona-Bayern final looked like happening when they were kept apart in the semi-finals. However, English champions Leeds United pulled off a major upset by beating Barcelona 2-1 over the two legs in spite of losing defender Gordon McQueen in the second leg when he was sent off for punching Clares. The final was in Paris and it was Leeds who dominated the game and seemingly took the lead after 67 minutes only to have Lorimer's goal disallowed for offside. This was the cue for Leeds United's notorious supporters to start vandalising the area of the stadium that they were situated in.

Unfortunately, the French riot police didn't calm the situation and fighting continued for the remainder of the game. Five minutes after the disallowed goal, Bayern took an undeserved lead through Roth and ten minutes later Müller scored a second. Although Leeds bombarded the mass defence for the remainder of the game, they couldn't find a way through. The hooliganism in the stands continued and UEFA banned Leeds United from European competition for four years (later reduced to one after an appeal). Sadly, this was not to be the last time that an English club's supporters would be involved in violence at a European final and the next time this was seen, the consequences were tragic.

Bayern won their third trophy in a row in 1976 beating the imaginative French club St Etienne 1-0 in the final but their squad was now ageing and after four years of Dutch dominance and three years of Bayern success, it was time for a new era in the Champions Cup. This era was the most remarkable dominance of the competition since the days of Real Madrid but this time, it didn't involve one club but three clubs and the dominance was because those three clubs came from one country, England.

Since the day in 1954 that Wolverhampton Wanderers had been proclaimed World Champions by the English press, English clubs had not been particularly successful in Europe's premier club competition. Manchester United had been the first English club to reach the final and the first English club to win the trophy. However, it was a further seven years before the second English club reached the final and Leeds had lost in front of disgraceful scenes. In 1977 a third English club reached the final, Liverpool. They had to play the German champions, Borussia Mönchengladbach, in the final and the football played by both clubs was breathtaking. Terry McDermott opened the scoring for Liverpool but Allan Simonsen equalised when intercepting a bad back pass. Borussia then dominated but went behind when Heighway crossed for defender Tommy Smith to gleefully score. A penalty sealed the match seven minutes from the end and Liverpool had become the second English club to lift the Champions Cup.

Despite losing Kevin Keegan during the summer, Liverpool again reached the final due, in part, to Keegan's replacement Kenny Dalglish. The final was against Belgian champions Bruges and was dull and tedious. Liverpool retained their title when Dalglish scored after 66 minutes. The holders were shocked a few months later though when they were eliminated in the first round by new English champions Nottingham Forest. Remarkably, Forest found little trouble in reaching the final. Only 1.FC Köln had caused them any problems but they still came through 4-3 on aggregate in the semi-final. Like the previous year, the final was a disappointment but Forest took the trophy back to England for the third time in succession by beating Swedish champions Malmö 1-0. They defended the trophy successfully by winning the 1979/1980 final 1-0 against Hamburger SV. The match was an interesting one because of the different styles of the two clubs and a swift counter attack from Forest proved the crucial difference between the teams with Robertson scoring after a one-two with Birtles.

5.5 > The 1980s Nottingham Forest lost in the first round of the 1980/1981 competition to CSKA Sofia. However, Liverpool were back and there would be English representation in the final for the fifth successive season. Bayern Munich were their only tough opponents but Liverpool managed an away goal in the second leg and went through to the final where they met Real Madrid who were back in the final for the first time since 1966. The match was very tight but was settled by an angled shot from Liverpool's left back Alan Kennedy. The club's third win was also the third for coach Bob Paisley and he is still the only coach to have won the trophy three times. After knocking out Nottingham Forest the previous season, Bulgarian champions CSKA Sofia again became the bane of the English when they eliminated Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the 1981/1982 competition. However, yet another English team were there to take their place in the form of champions Aston Villa. Villa were a team in the real sense of the word and they worked tirelessly for each other. This teamwork allied with a passing game took them to the final where they met Germany's Bayern Munich. With opponents as difficult as this, Villa needed their experienced players so it looked like a disaster when goalkeeper Jimmy Rimmer had to go off after nine minutes and be replaced by 23-year-old Nigel Spink who would be making only his second appearance for the club. However, Spink produced an inspired performance, which was to be the springboard for his long career in goal for Aston Villa and centre forward Peter Withe provided the winning goal in the 67th minute. Villa had made it six European Cups out of six for England.

Aston Villa and Liverpool both reached the quarter-finals the following season but that was where the English dominance ended, at least temporarily. Juventus reached the final and were clear favourites against Hamburger SV. However, the German side were skilful and well organised and they had an ace in coach Ernst Happel who had won the trophy 13 years previously with Feijenoord. Hamburg's game plan worked perfectly - their opponents were shocked by an early goal and never recovered. Their star, Paolo Rossi was substituted and the Italians created practically nothing. Happel had done it again. Like many other champions though, Hamburger SV were knocked out early in the following season's competition but Liverpool were back and reached what looked like a daunting final against Roma in the Italian club's home stadium. A goal each in the first half completed the scoring and the final went to a penalty shoot-out for the first time ever. Liverpool's goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar unnerved Conti by standing on his line and wobbling his legs around and the Italian duly missed after Steve Nicol had earlier missed Liverpool's first penalty. Graziani also missed for Roma and Alan Kennedy fired in the decisve penalty to make the shoot-out score 4-2 to Liverpool. Afterwards, Liverpool supporters would be attacked by Italian fans and the fall-out from these incidents would be felt a year later at the now infamous Heysel Stadium.

On May 29 1985, the Champions Cup final was overshadowed by events preceding the match between Liverpool and Juventus. Just before the final, a group of Liverpool fans charged the Juventus supporters and a wall collapsed under the weight of the fleeing Juventus fans. 39 people were crushed to death and a further 400 were injured. This horrific violence ended the dominance of English clubs who had reached all but one of the finals between 1977 and 1985. UEFA banned English clubs from European competition indefinitely and it wasn't until the 1991/1992 season that they returned. The 1985 final was played despite the tragedy that unfolded before it and Juventus won with a second half goal by Michel Platini.

The 1985/1986 final looked like an anti-climax with the highly talented Barcelona taking on Romanian champions Steaua Bucharest but Steaua had other ideas and they more than deserved the 0-0 draw that they achieved after 120 minutes. A second penalty shoot-out in three finals was required and remarkably the first four penalties were all saved before Lacatus gave Steaua the lead. Barcelona continued to miss and Balint wrapped it up for the Romanians 2-0 in the shoot-out. Barcelona had still not emerged from the shadow of Real Madrid in the tournament and would have to wait for another seven years before they had another shot at the title.

In fact, it was Real Madrid who were the overwhelming favourites in the 1986/1987 Champions Cup but they endured a disastrous first leg in their semi-final against Bayern Munich and lost 4-1. There was no coming back from this and Bayern looked like winning their fourth Champions Cup trophy when taking a 1-0 lead against Porto in the final in Vienna. However, late in the second half, Porto scored twice in two minutes and the cup returned to Portugal for the first time since 1962.

The early 1970s had seen Dutch football dominate Europe and this was to be repeated in the late 1980s primarily with the national team winning their first ever trophy in the 1988 European Championships. However, just before this came more club success in the Champions Cup when PSV reached the final despite failing to win any of their four matches in the quarter-finals and semi-finals. On both occasions, they scored crucial away goals in the first legs before attaining goalless draws in Eindhoven. Their opponents were Benfica and it was expected to be fairly simple for the Dutch champions as they had four of the Dutch international team in their ranks (goalkeeper Van Breukelen, Van Aerle, Vanenburg and the brilliant Ronald Koeman). However, the game was one of the dullest finals ever with barely a shot from either side and things didn't get any better in the penalty shoot-out with the first 11 all being scored before Van Breukelen dived to his right to save Veloso's weak effort. The Dutch were back at the top of the European pile but the victory was not in the realms of those achieved by Feijenoord and Ajax nearly two decades earlier.

The Dutch influence continued the following year but this time the players involved were not playing in their home country but in Italy. Ruud Gullit had moved from PSV to AC Milan in 1987 and had been swiftly followed by Ajax centre forward Marco van Basten. Frank Rijkaard joined in the summer of 1988 and the trio were the crucial members of the European Championship winning side of 1988. Milan's final opponents were the 1986 winners Steaua Bucharest but the Italians were not going to make the mistakes that Barcelona had made two years earlier and they simply blew the Romanians away with an awesome display. Van Basten and Gullit scored all four goals and the Dutch triumvirate were involved in every dangerous move that Milan put together. It signalled another period of dominance and Milan followed up by winning the 1990 final 1-0

against Benfica. Again, the Dutch influence was crucial with Rijkaard scoring the decisive goal against a determined Portuguese side.

5.6 > The 1990s and the coming of the UEFA Champions League Milan were in crisis the following season with the players and coach disagreeing about the fundamentals of their style and they were beaten by Marseille in the quarter-finals of the 1990/1991 competition. Yugoslavia's Red Star had an incredible team of young players and it was no surprise when they reached the final with their stylish attacking football. When they were joined there by Marseille who were also playing an attacking style, European audiences expected a classic. Instead, both teams abandoned their principles to produce one of the worst finals in the history of the competition. Marseille then missed their first penalty in the shoot-out and Red Star made no mistake with any of theirs, winning 5-3.

UEFA decided to change the format of the competition for the 1991/1992 season in order to appease the growing number of clubs who wanted a change to a league system in order for their clubs to play more matches. It was decided that the first two rounds would stay as knockout matches but the eight clubs that survived would be drawn into two groups of four where each team would play six matches (home and away against each of the other clubs in their group). The winners of these groups would then progress to the final. AC Milan's chairman Silvio Berlusconi was one of the keenest to see this format so it was somewhat ironic that his club were banned from the tournament after refusing to return to the pitch in the previous season's quarter-final with Marseille after the floodlights had failed. The group stages began in November 1991 with Sparta Prague, Dynamo Kiev, Anderlecht and Panathinaikos taking their places against the big boys from Sampdoria, Red Star, Barcelona and Benfica. Marseille, Rangers, PSV and Arsenal had all failed to reach this stage. Barcelona won Group B fairly easily while Sampdoria's two wins over Red Star took them safely through. With Barcelona in the final, the Dutch influence was again evident as their coach was the legendary Johan Cruijff and one of their key players was Ronald Koeman who had won the trophy in 1988 with PSV. The game remained 0-0 until ten minutes before the end when Barcelona were awarded a free kick in Koeman's range. His shot was powerful and precise and Barcelona had, at last, won the Champions Cup.

The league system was retained but the competition was renamed the Champions League and ties were now to be decided by head to heads and not goal difference. Two points were still awarded for a win in a group match and one for a draw. Again, the knockout rounds removed some of the big clubs, notably holders Barcelona and the groups contained smaller clubs like CSKA from Moscow, IFK Gothenburg and Bruges. However, the two favourites came through the groups - Marseille from Group A although not without a scare from Rangers - and AC Milan from the other group with six wins out of six. Milan were back to their best and expected to win the final with Marseille. However, Marseille had other ideas and Basile Boli's 43rd minute goal took the cup to France for the first time ever. However, controversy surrounded the club in regard to match fixing back in France and they were banned from the following season's competition.

In 1993/1994, UEFA changed the format slightly by reintroducing the semi-final stage which meant that clubs finishing second in the two groups would still have a chance, albeit over one leg away to the winners of the opposite group. AC Milan and Barcelona topped the groups and then both saw off the runners-up 3-0 in the one legged semi-finals. Again, a classic final was on the cards between the two best teams in Europe and again, a surprise was in the offing. Not a surprise in the form of an unexpected winner as in previous years but a surprise in terms of the astonishing Milan performance which destroyed their opponents 4-0. Barcelona could not even be said to have performed badly but Milan produced an extraordinary performance which never gave their opponents a chance of getting into the match.

Under increasing pressure from the chairmen of the top clubs, UEFA again changed the format of the Champions League for the 1994/1995 season. Clubs like Manchester United were dismayed at the fact that they were not able to get into the lucrative league stages and UEFA placated them by awarding automatic places in the groups for the holders and clubs from the top seven seeded countries. A preliminary round produced another eight participants for the groups so there were now four groups with the top two in each progressing to knockout stages over two legs. Group A was surprisingly won by Sweden's IFK Gothenburg with Barcelona second. A talented Paris Saint-Germain team won all their matches in group B with Bayern Munich finishing second. Benfica and Hajduk Split qualified from Group C and Ajax won Group D easily from AC Milan. Bayern were the only group runners-up to win through to the semis where they were soundly

beaten by the young Ajax team. The other semi-final was a classic with AC Milan winning through 3-0 on aggregate. Milan were favourites to win the final despite losing twice to Ajax in their group matches. In a tactically enthralling match, there was little to choose between the teams and it took a brilliant move by Ajax to win the match. Substitute Kluivert passed to Davids on the left and he played a quick ball to Rijkaard on the edge of the box. Rijkaard passed to the onrunning Kluivert who placed the perfect shot into the net. There were just five minutes left and an 18-year-old who had only been on the pitch for 20 minutes had scored the winner. Ajax had won the trophy 22 years after their previous triumph.

Ajax were again in the final a year later and the final with Juventus was another excellent one which eventually ended in a penalty shoot-out. Davids and Silooy both missed for Ajax and the Italians had won. A year later Juventus were in the final again but were upset by Borussia Dortmund whose wily coach Ottmar Hitzfeld out-thought his Italian counterpart to mastermind a 3-1 victory.

The format was again extended in 1997/1998 with 55 clubs now involved including the runners-up in some countries. The group stages were now six groups strong and the points system continued with the three points for a win and one for a draw which had been introduced two years earlier. Juventus reached the final for the third season in succession but three clubs with glittering histories in the competition were back; Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Juventus' opponents in the 1998 final, Real Madrid.

Manchester United had been eliminated in the quarter-finals having gone out at the semi-final stage the year before. Bayern also lost a closely fought quarter-final to holders Borussia Dortmund who were then knocked out by Real Madrid. Juventus reached the final after winning their knockout matches against Dynamo Kiev and Monaco. The final began with 21 internationals on the pitch and the technical ability of both teams made it a fascinating final, albeit one which had few chances. The deadlock was broken after 66 minutes when Yugoslav international Predrag Mijatovic reacted the quickest after a Roberto Carlos shot had been blocked. Juventus tried to find an equaliser but to no avail and Real had won the trophy for the first time since 1966.

The six group system was retained for a further season and the eventual finalists both came from Group D. There was little to choose between Manchester United and Bayern Munich who played out two draws during the group phase. In the knockout stages, Bayern reached the final relatively easily while United had a great deal more trouble. Internazionale were beaten 2-0 at Old Trafford but almost drew level in the second leg until Paul Scholes late goal sealed the tie. In the semi-final, only a last minute Giggs goal saved United at Old Trafford after they had gone 1-0 down in the first half. In Turin, Juventus were two goals up after 11 minutes and seemingly coasting to their fourth final in succession but United were level just after the half hour mark. A tight second half saw rare chances for either side until Cole coolly scored the winner. This comeback should have been a warning to Bayern but it wasn't heeded.

If the 1999 final wasn't a classic match, it certainly made up for it in drama. Bayern had scored an early goal from a Basler free kick and were containing the United midfield with ease. With 66 minutes gone, Teddy Sheringham (who had scored in the FA Cup final a few days beforehand) came on but little changed other than the United goal seemingly having a charmed life. When Bayern hit the woodwork twice in a matter of minutes, it only seemed to delay the inevitable as United had simply not been in the match. However, United had also brought on their supersub Ole Gunnar Solskjær and forced a very late corner. The match was already in injury time as Beckham's corner sailed into the penalty area. It was half cleared but only to Giggs who fired in a low shot which Sheringham diverted into the net. What a great few days it had been for him. With one goal scored, there was probably only one winner but no one thought that the match would not make extra time. However, the extra period was not needed as a United corner, barely 90 seconds after the first, was flicked on by Sheringham and despatched into the net by Solskjær who had got away from his marker, Samuel Kuffour. 2-1 to United, their second trophy and the first for England since 1984.

UEFA's introduced another format alteration in the 1999/2000 season with eight first round groups, leading to four second round groups and then the knockout stages for the last eight. Matches were to be played on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to maximise TV income and 16 of the 32 teams would qualify for the first phase automatically. The bigger countries would now have three or even four representatives although only two would take an automatic place in the group stages. This meant that there had to be three qualifying rounds

involving the champions from the smaller countries and the third (and fourth) placed teams from the bigger countries.

5.7 > The 2000s The two group phase format lasted until 2003 when, under pressure from the G-14 group of clubs, UEFA introduced an extra knockout round in place of the second group phase which reduced the number of matches from 17 to 13. The G-14 group had complained that the 17 matches were taking too big a toll on their seasons but ironically, the two winners since this change have both been unfancied teams and many of the traditional big teams have falled in this new round.

Returning to the two group phase though, two Spanish teams reached two finals each during that stage of the competition’s development. Real Madrid won the first ever final between two clubs from the same country, 3-0 against Valencia in 2000 and repeated the achievement with a 2-1 victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the 2002 final, Zidane scoring the winning goal with a superbly placed volley from a Roberto Carlos cross. Valencia were the other team to reach two finals between 2000 and 2003 but they lost both, the first to Real and the second, in 2001, on penalties to Bayern Munich. This final was notable for the awarding of three penalties by Dutch referee Dick Jol who was officiating in his last international match for UEFA. His first penalty award came after just two minutes of play when a scramble in Bayern’s box ended with Mendieta driving the ball against the prone Patrik Andersson and claiming a penalty. Mendieta scored from the spot himself to give Valencia the lead. Four minutes later Bayern captain Steffen Effenberg was fouled in the box by Jocelyn Angloma and Jol awarded another spot kick. This time, Mehmet Scholl’s penalty was saved by the legs of Valencia keeper Canizares. The final penalty was given early in the second half for handball by Valencia defender Amedeo Carboni. Effenberg stepped up this time and sent Canizares the wrong way. There was no more scoring and the match was decided on a penalty shoot-out in which seven penalties were taken by each side. Bayern won 5-4 when Oliver Kahn saved Pellegrino’s effort.

The final season of the two group phase format ended in a goalless final between Juventus and AC Milan which was also decided on penalties. This time five of the 10 attempts were missed and Andrei Shevchenko scored the decisive winner for AC Milan.

The new format of a single group phase and an extra round for the last 16 began in the 2003/2004 season and immediately the knockout phase started, the big teams began to fall. Bayern Munich, Juventus and Manchester United were beaten by Real Madrid, Deportivo La Coruña and FC Porto respectively at this stage. Deportivo produced an even more incredible performance in the quarter-finals by knocking out defending champions AC Milan despite losing the first leg 4-1, their fourth and decisive goal in the 4-0 second leg win coming from substitute Fran. Real Madrid also threw away a first leg advantage against unfancied opponents when their 4-2 lead against AS Monaco was neutralised with a 3-1 home win for the French club. Fernando Morientes had been loaned by Real to Monaco for the season and he was instrumental in knocking his old club out, scoring the second goal for the French team in each leg. Real had also missed a penalty in the first leg and had even scored the first goal of the second leg to go 5-2 up on aggregate before going out on away goals.

This left an unlikely quartet of Chelsea, Deportivo La Coruña, AS Monaco and FC Porto in the semi-finals and a final between Monaco and Porto. The Portuguese club won the final relatively easily with a 3-0 scoreline and lifted the trophy for the first time since 1987.

The new knockout round again led to some big clubs being eliminated immediately the knockout phase began in 2004/2005. Manchester United lost 2-0 on aggregate to AC Milan, FC Barcelona were eliminated in a pulsating tie with Chelsea and Real Madrid lost in extra time to Juventus. Both 2004 finalists also saw their Champions League campaigns come to an end at this point. AC Milan reached the final where they would play Liverpool who had, against all odds, eliminated Bayer Leverkusen, Juventus and Chelsea to reach their first final in the competition since 1985. Milan looked like confirming their position as favourites when captain Paolo Maldini scored in the first minute and they raced to a 3-0 lead in a very one-sided first half. However, Liverpool had spent much of the competition being written off and in a crazy period between the 54th and 60th minutes of the match, the Reds scored three times to pull the match back to 3-3. Liverpool goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek still had to pull off a remarkable double save from Andrei Shevchenko three minutes

from the end of extra time to keep Liverpool in it. The Polish goalkeeper then proved the difference in the shootout with his antics leading to three missed Milan penalties, the last of which was from Shevchenko who had scored the crucial penalty to win the 2003 final.

The 2004/2005 season had disappointed several football fans across Europe who had dreamed about a final between English superpowers Chelsea and Spanish champions FC Barcelona, a tie that came as soon as the last 16 round. 2005/2006 was no different, but now the Catalans exacted revenge on their London foes to set up a quarter-final meeting with Benfica, who had knocked out holders Liverpool in the previous round. Barça showed great determination in toppling the Portuguese club and two-time winners AC Milan in the semis to make it to their first CL Final in 12 years. Standing in their way were Arsenal who had claimed the scalps of former winners Real Madrid and Juventus before being propelled into the final by a last minute penalty miss by semi-final adversaries and CL debutants Villarreal CF. Eighteen minutes into the final, Arsenal custodian Jens Lehmann became the first player ever sent off in a Champions Cup/Champions League Final. However, a shorthanded goal by Sol Campbell had the Londoners a goal up at the half. Unfazed, Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard made several key substitutions that tilted the game in Barça’s favour. Substitute striker Henrik Larsson fed his partner Samuel Eto’o who came up with the equaliser and minutes later Belletti, who had not been on the pitch for 10 minutes, scored the winner to spark mass celebrations in the streets of the Catalan capital.

The last 16 of the 2006/2007 competition saw Barcelona again meet an English club but this time, they were stunned by 2005 winners Liverpool, who beat them 1-2 in Spain and went through on away goals after Barcelona failed to do enough with a 0-1 win in England. Dutch champions PSV shocked 2006 finalists Arsenal at the same stage whilst Bayern M"unchen eased past Real Madrid in a closely fought tie. Five of the eight quarterfinalists came from Italy and England and Manchester United stunned the watching world by destroying AS Roma 7-1 in the second leg of their encounter. With Liverpool and Chelsea also going through, three of the semifinalists represented England with AC Milan flying the flag for the rest of Europe. Manchester United found a second Italian opponent too much and Liverpool beat Chelsea again at the semifinal stage to set up a repeat of the 2005 Champions League final. It was Liverpool this time who dominated the early exchanges of the final but a Filippo Inzaghi goal on the stroke of halftime gave AC Milan a barely deserved lead. Inzaghi added a second eight minutes from time and Kuyt scored a consolation goal for Liverpool. Milan had exacted revenge for their 2005 final defeat in a less than classic encounter.
