UEFA Cup 2000-01
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In perhaps the most bizarre European final ever, the 2000-01 UEFA Cup was won by Liverpool in a dramatic golden goal final against Deportivo Alavés for their third title in the competition. It completed a unique cup treble for the club, as they also won the FA Cup and the League Cup that season.

[edit] Qualifying round
[edit] First round
1 This match was played at Prater Stadium in Vienna instead of at Red Star's home ground in Belgrade because Leicester City club leadership managed to convince UEFA that playing in FR Yugoslavia somehow posed a security risk to them due to the political situation in the country at the time. The UEFA's decision came on September 12, 2000 - only nine days before the game's originally scheduled date (September 21, 2000). UEFA's decision to not only move the tie to a neutral location, but to also postpone it for a week was a highly controversial precedent since no other team that was drawn to play Yugoslav teams that season (including FC Porto and Celta de Vigo among others) got similar treatment.[1]
[edit] Second round
1 This 2nd leg match in Vigo actually ended with the score 5-3 for the hosts Celta, but was later officially recorded as 3-0 walkover since it was discovered that Red Star fielded two suspended players.
