1997–98 UEFA Cup

27th season of Europe's secondary club football tournament organised by UEFA May 2020 UEFA Cup 1997–98 Paris-Parc-des-Princes.jpg 275px The final was played at Parc des Princes in Paris 22 July 1997 – 6 May 1998 ITA Inter Milan 3 ITA Lazio 125 332 2652131 Shota Arveladze (Ajax) & Stéphane Guivarc'h (Auxerre)7 goals 1996–97 1998–99 The 1997–98 UEFA Cup was the 27th season of the UEFA Cup, the third-tier of club football in Europe organised by UEFA. It was won by Inter Milan of Italy, who beat fellow Italian club SS Lazio 3-0 in the final at the Parc des Princes. It was their third title in eight years in the competition. It was the first instance of the UEFA Cup final being a one-game contest at a neutral stadium, having previously being decided over two legs with each team having one home game. This was the first tournament where the 2nd placed team of major European leagues went to the Champions League instead of the UEFA Cup. For first time, one nation (France) was represented by seven teams: Strasbourg, Auxerre, Bastia, Nantes, Lyon, Bordeaux and Metz. Format According to 1996 UEFA ranking, Spain took a slot to Germany (but this one took the place of the holders), the Netherlands took a place from Russia, while Ukraine, Czech Republic, and Hungary took a slot from Israel, FR Yugoslavia and Poland (but this one took the place of troubled Albania). The access list was finally decreased to 102 clubs, because only the 16 best national champions excluded from the Champions League group stage entered in the UEFA Cup.
