[edit] Match summary

The match was a one-sided affair as a headed goal from Fernando Morientes and a spectacular Steve McManaman volley put Real Madrid 2 – 0 ahead, before Raúl sealed the win with a breakaway third goal, rounding Santiago Canizares after Real had cleared a Valencia corner. The win was Madrid's eighth championship overall and their second in three years.
