In their first semi-final in Europe's premier tournament since 1964, Dortmund defeated Manchester United, who themselves had not reached that stage since 1969.
In the other half of the draw, Juventus easily overcame Ajax, the same team they had beaten on penalties in the previous year's final.
The match featured the same teams that competed in the 1993 UEFA Cup Final, in which Juventus prevailed 6–1 over two legs.[2] Their two German players in that final, Jürgen Kohler and Andreas Möller, had since moved to Dortmund[3] along with the Brazilian Júlio César (who did not feature in the 1997 final), while another two Dortmund players who did play in Munich – Stefan Reuter and Paulo Sousa – were also former Juventus players, and Matthias Sammer and Karl-Heinz Riedle had previously played in Italy's Serie A[3] (the latter's replacement at Lazio was Alen Bokšić, who by 1997 had moved to Juventus).
Besides the 1993 showpiece, the clubs had also met in the semi-finals of the 1994–95 UEFA Cup with Juventus progressing to the final which they lost to Parma,[2] and in the group stage of the 1995–96 UEFA Champions League, with each club winning away from home, however Juventus topped the group and went on to win the trophy.[2]
In the years to follow, Juventus and Borussia Dortmund would not meet again until 2014–15 Champions League round of 16[2] – the Italian club went through,[4] meaning they won all four fixtures (1993, 1995 UEFA Cup, 1995 and 2015 Champions League) at Dortmund's Westfalenstadion, with their only defeat on German soil was in this final. Juventus reached that season's final; coincidentally that match was again held at an Olympiastadion in Germany, but this time in Berlin, and the outcome was another 3–1 loss, to Barcelona.
Matchedit
Summaryedit
In the 29th minute, Karl-Heinz Riedle put Dortmund ahead finishing with a low shot from inside the six yard box after Paul Lambert's cross from the right. Five minutes later, Riedle made it 2-0 with a header from a Andreas Möller corner kick from the left.
In the second half, Juventus forwardAlessandro Del Piero, who had come on as a substitute, scored via a back-heel after a cross from the left by Alen Bokšić to make the score 2–1.
In the 71st minute, 20-year-old substitute and Dortmund local boy Lars Ricken latched on to a through-pass by Andreas Möller only 16 seconds after coming onto the pitch. Ricken chipped Angelo Peruzzi in the Juve goal from over 20 yards with his first touch of the ball, to make it 3–1 for Dortmund. Ricken's goal was the fastest ever by a substitute in said event.[5]
With Zinedine Zidane unable to make an impression for Juve against the close marking of Lambert,[6][7][8][9][10] the 3–1 victory gave Dortmund their only Champions League title to date.
