After beating Inter in the semi-final, Milan headed to Manchester with the chance to complete a double over their biggest rivals to lift their sixth European Cup, but it ended up being a way more dramatic night than many expected.
It was the first time two clubs from Italy had faced each other in the final and the nerves showed. After a goalless 120 minutes, the game was decided via a penalty shoot-out in which Dida was the hero and Shevchenko slotted in the winner.
The Ukrainian striker posted on his X profile to mark the occasions with the caption: “That journey. That team. Moments that will last forever. Thank you AC Milan.”
