1999–2000 UEFA Champions League

European football tournament UEFA Champions League 1999–2000 300px The Stade de France in Saint-Denis held the final Qualifying:13 July – 25 August 1999Competition proper:14 September 1999 – 24 May 2000 Competition proper: 32Total: 71 ESP Real Madrid 8 ESP Valencia 157 442 5495112 Raúl (Real Madrid)Rivaldo (Barcelona)Mário Jardel (Porto)10 goals each 1998–99 2000–01 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. Changes to the competition format 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.Hughes Rob Tribune International Herald 1999-09-17 Champions League : A Few Delights in Europe's Overloaded Feast of Soccer https://www.nytimes.com/1999/09/17/sports/IHT-champions-league-a-few-delights-in-europes-overloaded-feast-of.html 2024-05-10 The New York Times en-US 0362-4331 Association team allocation A total of 71 teams participated in the 1999–2000 Champions League, from 47 of 51 UEFA associations.

The champions of association 16 (Switzerland) are promoted from the second qualifying round to the third qualifying round.

Compared to the two previous seasons, three associations (England, France, The Netherlands) were allowed three teams – the league winner and runner-up from each nation qualified for the first group stage, and the third-placed teams qualified for the third qualifying round – and three associations were allowed four teams (Germany, Italy, Spain) – the league winner and runner-up from each nation qualified for the first group stage, and the third- and fourth-placed teams qualified for the third qualifying round. Nine additional associations were still allowed two teams (Czech Republic, Greece, Norway, Portugal: league winner in group stage; Austria, Croatia, Denmark, Turkey, Russia: league winner in third qualifying round). The top two teams in each group advanced to the Champions League second group stage, while the third-placed teams advanced to round three of the UEFA Cup. AIK, Boavista, Bordeaux, Chelsea, Fiorentina, Hertha BSC, Lazio, Maribor, Molde, Valencia and Willem II made their debut in the group stage. Maribor was the first Slovenian side to play in group stage. Germany became the first association to have four teams in the Champions League group stage.
