Shevchenko spot on and Milan are kings of Europe

Juventus 0 AC Milan 0 (After-extra-time, AC Milan won 3-2 on penalties)

Juventus started slight favourites courtesy of their recently-secured Italian title and the outstanding team performance which accounted for holders Real Madrid in the second leg of their semi-final.

Maldini was forced to make a vital tackle on the edge of his own area to deny David Trezeguet a shooting chance after Davids and del Piero had linked to take Juve from one end of the field to the other. Paolo Montero was also in the right place to prevent Shevchenko latching onto a cross from Kakha Kaladze which had just evaded former Juve striker Filippo Inzaghi.
