Pre-match

[edit]

Background

[edit]

Galatasaray and Arsenal met each other for the first time in a European football competition, though the Turkish outfit had faced English clubs formerly on eight occasions.[30]Their first was againstManchester United,in the1993–94 Champions Leaguesecond round, which they won 3–3 onaway goalsin a two-legged match.[31][32]Both teams were reunited in thefollowing seasonof the group stage, which concluded in a goalless tie and a Galatasaray blow.[33][34]Other meetings include againstWest Bromwich Albionin the commencing round of the1978–79 UEFA Cup,[35][36]and Chelsea in this year's Champions League campaign.[37][38]Arsenal by contrast ran into Turkish opposition twice, both of them againstFenerbahçein the1979–80 European Cup Winners' Cupfirst round; the home game was won by the English side 2–0, while the away leg ended in a 0–0 draw.[39][40]

Arsenal had a better European record, compared to Galatasaray going into the match; they defeatedAnderlechtwith a 4–3 aggregate winning result, in thefinalof the1969–70 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.[41][42]The London-based club reached theCup Winners' Cupfinales three times, in1980,where they suffered a 5–4 defeat in a penalty shoot-out toValencia,following a 0–0 stalemate;[43]Arsenal also reached the1994final, winning 1–0 overParma,[44]and thefollowing edition,losing 2–1 at the hands ofReal Zaragoza.[45]Their 1994 success led to them qualifying for that year'sEuropean Super Cup,where they were beaten 2–0 by Milan on aggregate in two games.[46][47]This was Arsenal's first UEFA Cup (sixth in total) European final.[48]The club were considered favorites to win the match.[49]

Galatasaray entered the final in search for aTreble.[50]Their fourteenth and fourth successive Turkishleague titlewas confirmed on the final matchday.[51]The Turkish club added the domestic cup to their trophy cabinet, afterAntalyasporwas defeated with a 5–3 victory in the2000 Turkish Cup Final.[52]The side participated in their first UEFA Cup and European competition final,[53]while also becoming the first ever team from Turkey to make the final in a UEFA club football competition.[54]

Ticketing

[edit]

Before the final, both finalists were awarded 12,000 tickets.[55]TheDanish Football Unionannounced that 9,000 tickets would be offered, for sale to the public, while the remaining 3,000 were sold to other European countries.[56]UEFA allocated another 3,000 tickets to their officials and VIP members.[55]Problems ensued after it was revealed that Galatasaray had been charging the tickets more than the original price, in order to prevent some football hooligans from entering the ground. The Turkish club's secretary general however, denied this and insisted that the tickets were being sold at their original price and to support the stadium and the club's other sporting activities.[57]

Venue

[edit]
Parken Stadium, the venue of the final

Parken Stadiumwas selected as the venue for the final, after a decision made by the UEFA Executive Committee.[58]It is located in theIndre Østerbroterritory inCopenhagen;[59]the site was once known asIdrætsparken,[60]with the opening premiere held in 1911.[61]It was the home of theDenmark national football teamandKjøbenhavns Boldklub's (KB) matches, until 1990,[62][63]when the venue underwent reconstruction by the Danish lending company Baltica Finans A/S,[61]with the former scrapped in favour of the new name, Parken Stadium.[61]The concept was supported by the Danish Football Union with a contract that all of Denmark's national games would take place at the stadium for fifteen years.[64]The price of the renovation wasDKK640 million (£740 million).[65]It made its debut two years later, in 1992,[61]and has since then been the home base forF.C. Copenhagen's fixtures.[66]

This was the second occasion that a major European final had been staged at Parken. The venue also hosted the1994 Cup Winners' Cup Finalbetween Arsenal and Parma.[67]

Match

[edit]

Summary

[edit]

First half

[edit]

Arsenal started the match through a kick-off by Henry.[89]Three minutes into the match, captainTony Adamsattempted to clear the ball with a header,[90]only for it to land at the feet ofArif Erdem,who attempted a volley from outside the Arsenal area that was deflected on to the post, with Galatasaray being awarded a corner. Erdem took it, but failed to trouble the defence and the ball was easily cleared.[89]Arsenal responded via Bergkamp, who received the ball fromMarc Overmars;Bergkamp attempted to outrun Galatasaray defendersCaponeandGheorghe Popescuand into their area, but he was unable to keep the ball in play.[89]Arsenal fashioned more chances, as Overmars won a one-on-one encounter against Capone, trying to reach Bergkamp, but the ball was easily read by Popescu and put out for a corner. The corner came to nothing, withPatrick Vieiratrying to hit the ball, but an opportunity went to Henry, whose shot went over the bar.[90]A third of the match played, Arsenal were awarded a free-kick afterOkan Burukreceived a yellow card for a slide tackle on Vieira.[89]

Martin Keowntook the free-kick, which Popescu unsuccessfully attempted to clear, giving Overmars a shot on goal, a volley which went over. One minute later, Galatasaray's first opportunity came when Erdem received a straight ball from a Hagi-taken free-kick and took a shot, which goalkeeperDavid Seamanmanaged to keep out with his left hand for a corner. The corner was taken, but no Galatasaray player was available to direct the ball towards the goal. Arsenal would create more opportunities, whenSylvinhosnatched the ball from Hagi and ran down Galatasaray's left, before putting in a cross to the running Henry, who was halted by a clearance fromBülent Korkmaz.[89]As Galatasaray grew more into the game, Erdem exchanged passes with Şükür, whose bicycle kick went completely off target.[89]Arsenal began creating more chances – in the 35th minute, Overmars made a low powerful shot on goal, forcingCláudio Taffarelto make a diving save.[89]Overmars then made another run into the area, but his attempt went across the goal. Galatasaray nearly took the lead with only two minutes of the first half remaining, when Şükür found Erdem, who beat the offside trap. However, his shot went just wide.[89]

Second half

[edit]

Galatasaray kicked off the second half, with neither team having made any substitutions. During the third minute, Vieira picked out Parlour, but his shot hit the outside of the net. Galatasaray almost scored the opening goal, whenOkan Burukplayed in Hakan Şükür, whose shot hit the right post.[89]Arsenal attempted to strike, with Sylvinho passing Hagi, and finding Henry, who in turn put in a cross for Keown, only for his shot to go over.[89][90]Later, Parlour sent a long ball into the Galatasaray midfield, but no Arsenal player was there to pick up the ball.[89]A free-kick was given to Bergkamp after a foul on Overmars, but it was cleared with a Popescu header.[89]Galatasaray attempted an attack on the counter, with Capone giving the ball to Hagi, who lost his balance while preparing to take a shot. After receiving a pass, Hagi put in a wide cross for Şükür, but he was denied a shot on target after a clearance.[89]Arsenal had another chance, when Henry snatched the ball from Korkmaz, and entered the penalty area, only to see his shot to go off target.[89]

A throw-in by Hagi led to Şükür attempting to reach Erdem, who was in the penalty area, but he was tackled and play continued,[89]which saw Arsenal attack on the counter under Parlour, whose volley went wide. Overmars then had an opportunity, after being given the ball by Henry, but the shot was off target.[89]In the 70th minute, Korkmaz exchanged passes with Erdem, but his effort was successfully blocked byTony Adams.[89]Three minutes later, Parlour attempted a bending cross for Henry, but Taffarel read it easily.[89]A well-played pass byNwankwo Kanuensured the ball reached Henry on the left area, who proceeded to give it to Overmars in the penalty area. Overmars's shot fell flat, but was still enough to force Taffarel to make a save.[89]With four minutes of normal time remaining, the Turks came close to a winning goal, when Şükür collected the ball from the centre and entered Arsenal's area, but lost his footing before he could make an effort on goal, allowing Seaman to pick up the ball. Two minutes of injury time were added on, just when a free-kick was awarded to Galatasaray.[89]Şükür took the shot, but the ball went around the wall and wide.[89]It proved to be the final event in normal time, as the match entered extra time.

Extra time

[edit]

With the match entering extra time and thegolden goalrule applying, both sides had chances to score the decisive goal. In the second minute, Henry beat two defenders to enter the opponent's area, but his shot went just across the goal.[89]Shortly after, Hagi received a straight red card,[89]after game footage showed the player holding and striking Adams in the back; the Arsenal captain was awarded a yellow card for hitting Hagi during the altercation.[91]As a result, Arsenal began to put the Turkish side under pressure by creating more chances through Henry, who almost won the game when he directed a header on goal from a long cross by Parlour,[89]which Taffarel managed to keep out. Overmars's effort was then blocked by a Galatasaray defender.[89]

Near the start of the second half in extra time, Galatasaray's first opportunity came, when Şükür attempted a shot from a Popescu cross,[89]but the ball hit the side netting. After seven minutes, Kanu beat a defender, dribbled into the Galatasaray area and shot the ball twice,[89]only to be denied twice by Taffarel. In the dying minutes both teams continued to create decisive chances – Galatasaray's Popescu was given a free-kick, after Şükür was brought down by Keown.[90]However, the ball flew straight into Seaman's arms. Arsenal's Sylvinho put in a cross into the Galatasaray area to Henry, but ball was cleared away.[89]The final whistle was blown and the match moved into a penalty shoot-out.

He placed the ball inside the near right-hand corner, just past Seaman, who dived to his left.Davor Šukerwas the first man up to take Arsenal's penalty kick.

Aftermath

[edit]

After the players had collected their medals, UEFA presidentLennart Johanssonhanded over the trophy toBülent Korkmaz.Korkmaz celebrated by raising the silverware, together with Şükür and the rest of the Galatasaray squad on the podium, including the ejected Hagi himself as golden confetti rained down.[96][97]A selected UEFA panel named Taffarel as the man of the match, and presented him with a trophy after the game.[1][98]

Galatasaray managerFatih Terimexpressed his delight following his side's victory. He was interviewed by the Turkish press and dedicated the cup to Turkey and its public, particularly to those who lost their lives during the1999 İzmit earthquake:"Many people suffered terribly in the earthquake in Turkey last year and if this victory brings some happiness back into their lives then I am delighted and so are all the players. We are very proud if we are able to help the Turkish people in some small way and this victory is for the whole country and all of the soccer fans in Turkey. I believe they were all united behind us. Terim also praised his own players and Taffarel:" I am proud and delighted he is in my team. He was magnificent and thoroughly deserved to be man of the match ". Popescu, a former defender ofTottenham Hotspur,also indulged in the triumph and said: "I am sure the fans at my old club are delighted as well!"[99]

As some Arsenal players were seen consoling each other,[100]managerAr sắc ne Wengerwas left to rue the defeat and said that his Arsenal side could not take their chances: "It was not a huge advantage for us to have Hagi sent off, sometimes you defend better with 10 men because everybody is focused." He was displeased with the penalty shoot-out and criticised Spanish refereeAntonio López Nietofor deciding the penalty shoot-out to take place in front of Galatasaray fans. Wenger was also unhappy with the decision made by UEFA officials regarding a coin toss during extra time, which would affect where the spot kicks would be taken.[101][102]

The win was widely celebrated in Turkey; Galatasaray players and staff received a hero's welcome inIstanbulfrom the club's fans.[103]The Turkish media hailed the match as one of the best achievements in their sports history and the biggest in football, the country's most popular sport. TheMinistry of Youth and SportsministerFikret Ünlü[tr],who attended the final, described the performance as "marvelous" and "a big present from Galatasaray to Turkey".[104]Ahmet Necdet Sezer,the President of Turkey highlighted the club's success by awarding the team with theState Medal of Distinguished Service,as a result for winning the country's first European competition.[105]In August 2013 the two sides met in anEmirates Cuppre-season match. The friendly ended in a 2–1 win for Galatasaray.[106][107]
