1998 UEFA Cup final
The 1998 UEFA Cup final was a football match played at Parc des Princes in Paris, France on 6 May 1998 as the conclusion to the 1997–98 UEFA Cup. It was the first time that the UEFA Cup final was played as a single leg at a neutral venue.
The match was played between two Italian teams – Lazio and Internazionale, commonly known as Inter. Inter won the match 3–0 to win the UEFA Cup for the third time – a joint record with Juventus at the time.
Internazionale were one of the most successful Italian football teams. They had won the European Cup twice in 1964 and 1965 and the UEFA Cup twice in 1991 and 1994.
Lazio had never played in a European final before. Their previous best run was to the quarter-finals of the 1994–95 UEFA Cup.
Since the inaugural edition in 1971–72, the UEFA Cup final had been played over two legs on a home and away basis. From the 1997–98 season, the final would be played as a single leg at a neutral venue.
Lazio qualified for the 1997–98 UEFA Cup by finishing fourth in the 1996–97 Serie A.
In the first round, Lazio faced Portuguese side Vitória de Guimarães. They won 4–0 in the first leg at the Estádio D. Afonso Henriques in Guimarães on 16 September 1997 and 2–1 in the second leg at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome two weeks later to progress 6–1 on aggregate.
Lazio faced Russian side Rotor Volgograd in the second round. After a 0–0 draw in the first leg at the Central Stadium in Volgograd on 21 October 1997, Lazio progressed with a 3–0 win (3–0 on aggregate) in the second leg at the Stadio Olimpico two weeks later.
