AC Milan Campione d'Europa 2002 2003
The competition was won by Milan, who beat Juventus on penalties in the European Cup's first ever all-Italian final, to win their sixth European title, and its first in nine years. Manchester United's Ruud van Nistelrooy was again the top scorer, scoring 12 goals over the two group stages and knockout stage, in addition to two goals he had scored in the qualifying phase. Real Madrid were the defending champions, but were eliminated by Juventus. Milan won Group G of the first group round, group which also included
Bayern, Lens and Deportivo, advancing to the second group round where
they won group C. They defeated Real Madrid, Dortmund and Lokomotiv
Moscova. They lost only two matches (Dortmund 0-1, and Real Madrid 1-3)
but they advanced to the Quarter-finals where they met Ajax Amsterdam .
The first leg was a draw (0-0) so the decisive match was the one on San
Siro which Milan won (3-2). In the semi-finals they met local rivals
Internazionale. Both matches finished equal (0-0; 1-1), but Milan
advanced on away goals.
