As /sp/ anons wellknown there are some people that prefer club football to nationa tema football. This one is for you anons.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwG02M1RKcghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9in11dKY_ao>The 1999–2000 UEFA Champions League was the 45th season of the UEFA Champions League, UEFA's premier European club football tournament, and the eighth season since its rebranding from the "European Champion Clubs' Cup" or "European Cup". The competition was won by Real Madrid, who clinched a historic eighth title win by beating fellow La Liga side Valencia in the final held at the Stade de France in Paris, the city where the original roots of the competition had begun nearly 50 years earlier.>After two years of allowing runners-up of strongest continental leagues to enter, UEFA went even further and expanded the tournament to up to four strongest teams from Europe's top national leagues. As a result, the tournament was a stark contrast from the 1996–97 edition three years earlier where only national champions had participated.
>The competition was dominated by Spanish teams, with three of the four semi-finalists coming from that nation: Real Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona. The final between Real Madrid and Valencia marked the first time that both finalists had come from the same country.>Manchester United were the defending champions, but were eliminated by eventual winners Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.
>The 1999–2000 edition of the Champions League featured a whole different format to the competition. An additional qualifying round was introduced to generate two group stages, firstly with 32 teams – eight groups of four – who played six matches each to reduce the competition to 16 teams for the second group stage, with the eight third-placed teams moving to the UEFA Cup third round. At the end of the second group stage, eight teams remained to contest the knock-out stage
>A total of 71 teams participated in the 1999–2000 Champions League, from 47 of 51 UEFA associations. Liechtenstein (who don't have their own league) as well as Andorra and San Marino did not participate. Additionally, Bosnia and Herzegovina were not admitted due to having no nation-wide champion.
>The title holders (Manchester United) qualified for the Champions League group stage through their domestic league, thus the group stage spot reserved for the title holders was vacated. Additionally, Bosnia and Herzegovina was not admitted as their play-off for Champions League qualification didn't take place.

>>157499475>>157499475>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.
