The 2003 UEFA Champions League Final took place at Old Trafford in Manchester, England on May 28, 2003. The match pitted Italian clubs Juventus and AC Milan. Milan won 3-2 on penalties, clinching their sixth European championship. The match itself was exciting in the first half with Del Piero hitting the post for Juventus and Pirlo hitting the bar for A.C Milan. Also Andriy Shevchenko had a goal ruled for offside for Milan. In the second half both teams began to sit back and not create many chances. The penalty-shoot out which ensued has become infamous for Dida's antics as replays showed that he was off his goal line when saving penalties from Trezeguet, Zalayeta & Montero. Buffon was also off his goal line when saving a penalty from Seedorf. Andriy Shevcenko put away the final penalty to win the European Cup for A.C Milan for the 6th time. Shevchenko becoming the first Ukrainian footballer to win a European Cup winner's medal. In the celebrations that followed Shevchenko was seen to be in tears, it was because a year earlier his former manager when he was at Dynamo Kiev, Valeri Lobanovsky died of a stroke and was thinking about him at the time. A couple of days later Shevchenko flew back to Ukraine and put his winners medal on Lobanovsky's grave. It is said had it not been for Lobanovsky, Shevchenko would not be the great player as he is today. Old Trafford redirects here. ...
