AS Monaco, a Monaco-based club representing the French Football Federation, faced Portuguese side Porto at the Arena AufSchalke in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

Deco was named Man of the Match. thumb|260x260px|The UEFA Champions League trophy is on display at the FC Porto Museum in Estádio do Dragão. Porto's previous triumph in the competition had been in 1987 – although they had won the UEFA Cup in the previous season – while Monaco were playing in their first ever UEFA Champions League final. Both teams started their campaigns in the group stage and defeated former European champions on their way to the final: Porto beat 1968 and 1999 winners Manchester United while Monaco defeated nine-time champions Real Madrid. Both teams were considered underdogs in the competition before reaching the final stages and were led by young managers. Monaco had hired former France national football team captain Didier Deschamps as manager and Porto were led by rising star José Mourinho, who left the club for Chelsea a week after the match. Monaco became the fourth club representing the French league to reach the final after Reims in 1956 & 1959, Saint-Étienne in 1976, and Olympique de Marseille in 1991 & 1993. This was the fifth final in the history of the European Cup in which neither of the teams came from England, Germany, Italy or Spain and the first since the 1991 final when Red Star Belgrade of Yugoslavia beat Marseille. To date, this is the last Champions League final to feature a team from outside the Big Five European leagues (England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain), and the last one to be won by a team from outside those five leagues.https://backpagefootball.com/fc-porto-the-big-five-and-the-death-of-european-club-competition/120080/ FC Porto, The Big Five and the death of European club competition Richard Pike 15 November 2018 Background Monaco Monaco finished second in the French Ligue 1 the previous season, meaning that they entered the Champions League at the group stage. Monaco were placed in Group C, alongside Deportivo La Coruña, PSV Eindhoven and AEK Athens. After a 2–1 in their first win in the Netherlands and a 4–0 win at the Stade Louis II against AEK Athens, Monaco travelled to Spain, losing 1–0 by Deportivo. The Monegasque adventure really began after the return match against Deportivo, when Monaco won 8–3, which represented the highest number of goals in one match in the history of the new version of the UEFA Champions League; this record lasted until 22 November 2016, when Legia Warsaw lost 8–4 to Borussia Dortmund. Croatian striker Dado Pršo scored four times, while captain Ludovic Giuly (2), Jérôme Rothen, Jaroslav Plašil and Édouard Cissé pulverised the Spanish defensive line. After two more draws against PSV and AEK Athens, Monaco finished at the top of Group C. The first knockout round saw Monaco winning against Lokomotiv Moscow after a 2–1 defeat in Russia and a win 1–0 at Stade Louis II. In the quarter-finals, Monaco played Real Madrid. After a 4–2 loss in Madrid (where Fernando Morientes scored, and was applauded by his former fans), Monaco created a sensation by defeating the Spanish 3–1 at home. Monaco played against Chelsea in the semi-finals, and despite the exclusion of Akis Zikos, Monaco found enough strength to score twice and win the game 3–1.http://www.uefa.com/competitions/UCL/FixturesResults/Round=1715/Match=1063677/Report=RP.html Ten-man Monaco dazzle Chelsea UEFA 20 April 2004 22 September 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20040618003932/http://www.uefa.com/competitions/UCL/FixturesResults/Round=1715/Match=1063677/Report=RP.html Matt Spiro 18 June 2004 dead The last goal was scored by striker Shabani Nonda, who just returned from a seven-month injury.
