No.4 – Zinedine Zidane’s volley
Both Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen had to get through gruelling knock-out matches to progress to the final stage of the competition.
Real overcame Bayern Munich and Barcelona to reach the final, which was held at Hampden Park in Glasgow, while Leverkusen knocked-out both Liverpool and Manchester United on their way to the showpiece event.
Los Blancos took the lead within ten minutes when Raul nipped behind the defence to trickle his shot past Jorg Butt.

Zidane’s volley was a moment of pure brilliance
But Bayer, who had an immensely talented squad at the time, responded just four minutes later when Brazil legend Lucio equalised for the German club, rising highest to head home from a superb cross from Bernd Schneider.
Leverkusen put in a spirited display but unfortunately they came up against a youthful Iker Casillas, who had come on as a substitute earlier on in the game and was in inspired form during his cameo appearance.
Ultimately it was one moment of sheer brilliance that decided the tie.
On the stroke of half-time, Zidane produced a goal that has been heralded as one of the best in the competition’s history.
An attack down the left-flank saw Roberto Carlos swing a lofted ball to the France international on the edge of the box.
Most players would have tried to control the ball and look for another pass, but Zidane was not like most players.
The midfielder expertly swivelled his body and lashed a venomous left-footed volley into the very top corner.

Zidane got his hands on the Champions League trophy
There was nothing that Butt could do to deny Zizou and the goal crucially proved to be the difference between the two sides.
Real Madrid lifted their ninth European Cup, something they would not do again until 12 years later where Carlo Ancelotti guided Los Blancos to ‘La Decima’ in 2004.
For the German team, a season that promised so much ended heartbreakingly trophyless.
