2004

After years of domination by the big names from Italy, Spain, England and Germany, the 2004 European Cup saw two less fancied sides from Portugal and France reach the final. Porto and Monaco overcame the bigger clubs to reach the annual showpiece in Gelsenkirchen where Porto won their second European crown to follow their UEFA Cup win a year earlier.

Final (May 26, Arena auf Schalke, Gelsenkirchen)
AS Monaco                Fra  FC Porto                 Por   0-3
