Just aftertwo yearsof allowing runners-up of strongest continental leagues to enter the tournament,UEFAwent even further and expanded the tournament to up to four strongest teams from Europe's top national leagues. As a result, the tournament was a stark contrast from1996–97(which took place only three years prior) where only top national champions and title holders participated.

The competition was dominated by the Spanish teams, with three of the four semi-finalists coming from Spain, namely Real Madrid, Valencia andBarcelona.The final between Real Madrid and Valencia marked the first time that both finalists in the competition had come from the same country.

Manchester Unitedwere thedefending champions,but were eliminated by eventual winners Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.

Changes to the competition format

edit

The 1999–2000 edition of the Champions League featured a whole different format to the competition. An additional qualifying round was introduced to generate two group stages, firstly with 32 teams – eight groups of four – who played six matches each to reduce the competition to 16 teams for the second group stage, with the eight third-placed teams moving to the UEFA Cup third round. At the end of the second group stage, eight teams remained to contest the knock-out stage.[1]

Association team allocation

edit

A total of 71 teams participated in the 1999–2000 Champions League, from 47 of 51UEFAassociations. Liechtenstein (who don't have their own league) as well as Andorra and San Marino did not participate. Additionally, Bosnia and Herzegovina were not admitted due to having no nation-wide champion.

Below is the qualification scheme for the 2000–01 UEFA Champions League:[2]

  • Associations 1–3 each have four teams qualify
  • Associations 4–6 each have three teams qualify
  • Associations 7–15 each have two teams qualify
  • Associations 16–48 each have one team qualify (except Liechtenstein)

Association ranking

edit

Countries are allocated places according to their 1998UEFA league coefficient,which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 1993–94 to 1997–98.[3]

Distribution

edit

The title holders (Manchester United) qualified for the Champions League group stage through their domestic league, thus the group stage spot reserved for the title holders was vacated. Additionally, Bosnia and Herzegovina was not admitted as their play-off for Champions League qualification didn't take place. Due to these factors, the following changes to the default access list are made:

  • The champions of association 10 (Norway) are promoted from the third qualifying round to the group stage.
  • The champions of association 16 (Switzerland) are promoted from the second qualifying round to the third qualifying round.
  • The champions of associations 27, 28 and 29 (Israel, Slovenia and Belarus) are promoted from the first qualifying round to the second qualifying round.
