UEFA Champions League 1999–2000

The 1999-2000 UEFA Champions League was the eighth edition of the UEFA Champions League, UEFA's premier European club football tournament, since its rebranding from the European Cup, and the 45th edition overall. The competition was won by Real Madrid, who clinched an historic 8th title win by beating fellow La Liga side, Valencia in the final. The final was hosted in the historic Stade de France in Paris, where the original roots of the competition had begun.

The competition was dominated by the Spanish teams, with three of the four semi-finalists coming from Spain in Real Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona. The final between Real Madrid and Valencia marked the first time that both finalists in the competition had come from the same country.

Changes to the competition format

The 1999-2000 edition of the Champions League sported 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.
