He real Madrid He was not favorite to win that final against Juventus where I played Zidane and he reached the final for the third year in a row. Until reaching the final, Real Madrid was first in the Group Phase, defeating Rosenborg, Olympiacos and Porto. In the subsequent qualifiers, they eliminated Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund, former champions. Karembeu, who arrived midway through that season, was key to both crosses with three goals.
In the final, the hero is Mijatovic with his goal in the 66th minute that many considered illegal because the striker was offside, but the refereeing team deemed the goal that, in the end, gave Real Madrid the title.
