In the 9th minute, Andriy Shevchenko slipped in a back pass from Filippo Inzaghi who scored the goal for Milan, but was ruled offside as Rui Costa was found to obscure Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon's view.http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/2003/ottobre/01/gol_Shevchenko_alla_Juve_andava_co_0_031001240.shtml https://web.archive.org/web/20160101000000/http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/2003/ottobre/01/gol_Shevchenko_alla_Juve_andava_co_0_031001240.shtml Il gol di Shevchenko alla Juve andava annullato Corriere dello Sport 1 October 2003 1 January 2016 Italian Later in the half, Inzaghi created danger with a hard and fast header that Buffon reflexively saved.http://www.repubblica.it/online/calcio2002_coppe/finalissima/finalissima/finalissima.html Grande Dida, coppa al Milan ma la Juve piange se stessa La Repubblica 28 May 2003 Italian At the end of the first half, Juventus' Igor Tudor was replaced by Alessandro Birindelli due to injury. In the second half, Juventus coach Marcello Lippi replaced Mauro Camoranesi with Antonio Conte, who later struck the crossbar. Marcelo Zalayeta was the final substitution for Juventus, while Milan subbed on Massimo Ambrosini, Roque Júnior and Serginho; Juventus strengthened the attack, while Milan strengthened the flanks and the midfield. The match ended 0–0 after regulation time. In the 95th minute, Roque Júnior was injured, but Milan having used all substitutions, remained on the pitch, while Juventus lacked attacking conviction and were unable to capitalize. After extra-time, the match remained 0–0 and went to penalty shoot-out. Dida saved Trezeguet's penalty, the first shooter of the penalty takers. After Serginho scored for Milan and Birindelli the subsequent penalty for Juventus, Buffon saved Clarence Seedorf's shot. Zalayeta and Paolo Montero consecutively had their penalties saved by Dida, while Buffon saved Kakha Kaladze's shot. Alessandro Nesta then scored for Milan and Alessandro Del Piero for Juventus, Shevchenko then had the chance to score the decisive penalty, and did; Milan won by a score of 3–2. This gave Milan their sixth European Cup, nine years after their last continental success. Paolo Maldini was named man of the match at the end of the final, and lifted the European Cup as captain of Milan, just as his father Cesare Maldini had done exactly 40 years earlier.
