Who were the champions of Italy in 2003?

Juventus entered the Champions League Final as Italy's 27th champion. Milan finished third in the league, eleven points behind Juventus, while the Coppa Italia was won by the Champions. In the 2002-03 season, both clubs won their home games by a score of 2-1. However, since both teams ended up with the same number of points, they had to go into a play-off match at the end of the season. This match was decided over two legs and after the first leg at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, Milan went through on away goals after scoring twice and thus becoming champions for the second time in three years.

Before this season, neither club had been crowned Italian champion since Roma in 1990. The last time these two teams met in the final was in 1999, when Juve beat Milan 3-0 at the same stage. This year's match was much closer than that game, with neither team able to score during the regular season and therefore requiring all of their matches to be played over two legs. The first leg of the semi-final took place at the San Siro on April 6th, with Milan winning 1-0 thanks to a goal from Kaká. This meant that they would meet Juventus in the final on May 25th at the Allianz Stadium.

The 2004-05 UEFA Champions League included 72 clubs from 48 of the 52 UEFA member countries (the exception being Liechtenstein, which does not organise a domestic league, and Andorra and San Marino). It was the most prestigious club tournament in the world at that time.

Internazionale won their third consecutive European title after beating Chelsea 3-1 on aggregate in the final. Brazilian striker Ronaldo scored the only goal of the match at the San Siro to give his side the lead. In the return leg at Stamford Bridge, Michael Essien scored an equaliser just before half-time and Roberto Di Matteo's men went on to win it with a 2-1 scoreline. This was the last season before the current format was used, with the addition of a third-place play-off between the two losing semi-finalists. Previously, the two losers had simply faced each other in a single-match playoff.

Bayern Munich and Juventus were the other two finalists. Bayern defeated Marseille 5-3 on penalties after the initial match ended 1-1 after extra time while Juve beat Real Madrid 4-3 on penalties after the initial match finished 1-1 after 90 minutes. This was also the last season before the introduction of the group stage format, with the top four clubs in each group going through to the next round.
