This game brings the curtain down on a long hard season for all teams.
Real Madrid and Juventus are the teams that made it to the glamorous final.
It was a pretty even game and the only diffarence in the first half was the deadly boot of Del Piero.He gave Juve the lead with a brilliant free kick in the 38th minute.
The score stayed like that until well after half time,Birindelli set up Nedved to score from 25 yards out in the 71st minute to give Juve a 2 goal cushion.
The game was even enough the only diffarence being the lethal shooting of Juves flair players.
Juventus hold on and win the game 2-0 and lift the european cup for the second year in a row.

We will also take a look at the performances of some of Aberdeens best players over the season.
The point of the story was to take my favourite team Aberdeen and bring sucsess to them like Sir Alex Ferguson done in the 80's.
After 2 seasons and 105 games Aberdeen have certainly got better but are they as good as Fergusons Gothenburg greats ?
The simple answer is no,We are not as good as them although we did bring the fans a bit of glory along the way.
Domesticly we broke the old firm domination in the league and won it twice in a row.A Scottish Cup and League cup victory ensured that in the past two seasons Aberdeen have been the team on everyones lips.
In Europe we had a great run,We managed to get to the semi-final and beat a few good teams along the way.
The euro run was complete when we beat the man that once made Aberdeen great....Sir Alex Ferguson.Beating Man U was probabaly the highlight of the past 2 seasons.
Off the pitch the bank balance looks alot better after 2 years with 20 million in the bank.With the Champions league games this year a massive 15 million profit has been made.
A state of the art training ground is being built and will be ready for pre-season.
To top it off Pittodrie will be expanded next season,We are not sure how much by but the chairman hinted it would hold around 30 000 when done.
After looking at what had happened in the past two seasons it was time to cut my ties with Aberdeen and champ manager.With the release of FM 2005 just round the corner now is a good time to finish the story up and start a fresh new challenge when FM hits the shelves.
If anyone has followed it i hope you enjoyed reading it as much as i enjoyed writing it.
The next few weeks will be time to catch up with the other storys on the board(and possibly borrow some ideas for my next one.)
So until FM,Its goodbye from me
Barry Gunn.
