The 2003–04 UEFA Champions League was the 12th season of UEFA's premier European club football tournament, the UEFA Champions League, since its rebranding from the European Cup in 1992, and the 49th tournament overall. The competition was won by Portugal's FC Porto, who defeated AS Monaco of Monaco 3–0 at Arena AufSchalke in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. This was Porto's second European trophy in two years, following their UEFA Cup success from the previous season.
After eliminating teams like Manchester United, Deportivo and Lyon, José Mourinho's Porto met Monaco in the final. Monaco had also defeated some of Europe's top clubs on their way to the final, including Chelsea and Real Madrid.
The match itself was somewhat one-sided; despite an early opportunity where Monaco captain Ludovic Giuly was denied by Porto goalkeeper Vítor Baía, goals from Carlos Alberto, Deco and Dmitri Alenichev were enough to win Porto their second European Cup. Two days after the final, Porto manager José Mourinho confirmed prior speculation by leaving the club to assume the position of Chelsea manager.
This was the first UEFA Champions League competition to feature a sixteen-team knockout round instead of a second group stage.
