1999-2000: Real Madrid 3-0 Valencia

A certain lovable Scouse rogue by the name of Steven McManaman featured in Madrid's run to the 2000 final - and scored the second goal as Fernando Morientes, later of Liverpool, and Merengues legend Raul sent Gaizka Mendieta's Valencia packing.

UEFA Cup

2006-07: Sevilla (p) 1-1 Espanyol

The final showcased two of Liga's up-and-coming clubs, as opposed to hardened winners like Barça and Madrid.

1997-98: Inter 3-0 Lazio

Sven-Goran Eriksson's Lazio were no match for the Inter of Luigi Simoni in 1998. Iván Zamorano, Javier Zanetti and a Ronaldo at the height of his powers scored the goals as Lazio substitute Matias Almeyda contrived to get himself sent off.

1994-95: Parma 2-1 Juventus (aggregate)

1971-72: Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 Wolverhampton Hotspur (agg)
