The '''2001 UEFA Champions League final''' was a [[Association football|football]] match that took place at [[San Siro]] in [[Milan]], Italy, on 23 May 2001, to decide the winner of the [[2000–01 UEFA Champions League]]. The match pitted German side [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] against Spanish side [[Valencia CF|Valencia]]. The match finished in a 1–1 draw, but Bayern clinched their fourth title by winning 5–4 on [[Penalty shoot-out (association football)|penalties]]. This was also their first European Cup title in a quarter-century, also representing Valencia's second consecutive final defeat (2000 and 2001). As all the goals in the match were scored from penalties, with Bayern Munich also missing a penalty in normal time and a penalty shoot-out was required to decide the winner, this UEFA Champions League match became an "all-penalty" final. The 2001 final was a meeting of the two previous seasons' losing finalists – Bayern Munich lost to Manchester United in [[1999 UEFA Champions League final|1999]] and Valencia lost to Real Madrid in [[2000 UEFA Champions League final|2000]].

This was the sixth European Cup final to be decided on penalties, and the second under the Champions League format. This was [[Ottmar Hitzfeld]]'s second Champions League title after he won it with Borussia Dortmund in [[1997 UEFA Champions League final|1997]], making him the second coach in European Cup history, after [[Ernst Happel]], to win the competition with two clubs. Meanwhile, it was [[Héctor Cúper]]'s third consecutive European final defeat; he lost the [[1999 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup Final]] with [[RCD Mallorca|Mallorca]], before losing the 2000 Champions League final with Valencia.

==Match==

===Summary===
This final would come to be known for the goalkeeping heroics of Bayern keeper [[Oliver Kahn]].<ref name=guardian01>{{cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2001/may/23/minutebyminute.sport|title=Bayern Munich 1-1 Valencia; Bayern won 5-4 on penalties |work=[[The Guardian]]|first=Matt|last=Biggs|date=23 May 2001|access-date=2 December 2018}}</ref>

Valencia opened the score early on with a [[Gaizka Mendieta]] penalty in the third minute after a prostrate [[Patrik Andersson]] was deemed to have handled the ball in the penalty area. Only a few minutes later, Bayern Munich were awarded a penalty after [[Jocelyn Angloma]] fouled [[Stefan Effenberg]] in the penalty box, but [[Santiago Cañizares]] saved [[Mehmet Scholl]]'s kick with his legs. Bayern were awarded another penalty early in the second half, this time after [[Amedeo Carboni]] handled the ball while competing for a header with [[Carsten Jancker]]. This time, [[Stefan Effenberg]] took the penalty kick and sent Cañizares the wrong way to level the scores at 1–1. The scores remained level for the remainder of normal time and throughout the 30 minutes of [[Overtime (sports)#Association football|extra time]], so the match went to penalties.<ref name=guardian01/>

Again, Valencia took the lead early on as [[Paulo Sérgio (footballer, born June 1969)|Paulo Sérgio]] put the first kick of the shoot-out over the bar before Mendieta sent [[Oliver Kahn]] the wrong way. [[Hasan Salihamidžić]], [[John Carew]] and [[Alexander Zickler]] then traded penalty goals before Kahn saved [[Zlatko Zahovič]]'s kick to tie the scores at 2–2 after three kicks each. The next kick from [[Patrik Andersson]] was also saved by Cañizares, and then Kahn stretched out a hand to tip [[Amedeo Carboni]]'s shot onto the crossbar. Both [[Rubén Baraja]] and [[Stefan Effenberg]] then scored to take the shoot-out to sudden death. [[Bixente Lizarazu]] and [[Kily González]] both scored their clubs' sixth kicks of the penalty shoot-out, and then [[Thomas Linke]] scored for Bayern to set [[Mauricio Pellegrino]] up for the game-deciding kick. Kahn guessed the right direction and saved Pellegrino's kick, winning the cup for Bayern Munich.<ref name=guardian01/>

Kahn also won the UEFA Fair Play Award for consoling his heartbroken rival, Valencia's Santiago Cañizares after the penalty shoot-out.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hoskin |first=Rob |date=2017-06-01 |title=Remember when Olivier Kahn won an award for his actions after 2001 Champions League final |url=https://www.givemesport.com/1067404-remember-when-olivier-kahn-won-an-award-for-his-actions-after-2001-champions-league-final/ |access-date=2024-08-09 |website=GiveMeSport |language=en}}</ref>

This match along with the [[2001 UEFA Cup final]] that [[Deportivo Alavés|Alaves]] lost to [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] one week earlier, was the last time a Spanish club lost a UEFA final against a team from another country until [[2025 UEFA Conference League final]], when [[Real Betis]] lost to [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]].
