2000 UEFA Champions League final

The 2000 UEFA Champions League final was a football match that took place on 24 May 2000. The match was played at Stade de France in Saint-Denis, France, to determine the winner of the 1999–2000 UEFA Champions League. Spanish teams Real Madrid (playing in their eleventh final in the competition) and Valencia (in their maiden appearance at this stage) were the participants in the first final in the history of the European Cup or Champions League to feature two clubs from the same country.

Real Madrid won 3–0 to claim the trophy for a record-extending eighth time.

A headed goal from Fernando Morientes in the first half and a spectacular Steve McManaman volley midway through the second half put Real Madrid 2–0 ahead, before Raúl sealed the win with a breakaway third goal, rounding Santiago Cañizares after a Valencia corner was cleared.

The win was Real Madrid's eighth European Cup victory 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. Upon this win, McManaman became the first English player to win the tournament with a non-English club.
