[edit] Trivia

  • Barcelona broke Milan's record of going the most number of games undefeated in the UEFA Champions League.
  • AEK Athens became the first team to get 6 draws in a group stage.
  • Newcastle United became the first team to have progressed past the group stage after losing their first three games.
  • Maccabi Haifa became the first Israeli team to participate in the UEFA Champions League
  • The final was the second UEFA Champions League to be contested by teams from the same country. The first was in 2000 in an all Spanish final between Real Madrid and Valencia.
  • Bayer Leverkusen failed to gain a single point in Group A of the second group stage. This made them the only side to finish the second group stage with zero points since the second group stage was introduced in 1999-2000.
