Summary
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.
