Thirteen years later, the Rossoneri again entered the Athens Olympic Stadium as a trophy contender, and again they managed to win, this time over Liverpool - 2: 1.

In the 1995/96 season, Ajax arrived in Rome as the current winner of the Champions League, but the Dutch club failed to defend their title. Already in the first half of the match with Juventus, the teams exchanged goals, after which they brought matters to a penalty shootout. “Bianconeri” were more accurate and won the main club trophy in Europe.
The Olympic Stadium in Rome won the right to host the 2008/09 Champions League final again, but this time the local teams failed to make it to the decisive stage of the tournament. The trophy this year was won by Barcelona, beating Manchester United 2-0.
"Amsterdam Arena" (Amsterdam, Netherlands). Opened in 1996. Accommodates 54,990 spectators.

Camp Nou (Barcelona, Spain). Opened in 1957, reconstructed twice - in 1995 and 2008. Accommodates 99 354 spectators.
Barcelona's stadium has seen many memorable matches, but the 1998/99 UEFA Champions League final stands alone. That meeting between Bayern and Manchester United can be called legendary without exaggeration. The Germans took the lead already in the 6th minute and controlled the course of the game until the last minutes, but two goals, scored by the Mancunians in stoppage time in the second half, brought the victory to Manchester United.
"Stade de France" (Saint-Denis, France). Opened in 1998. Accommodates 81,338 spectators.
The arena, built on the outskirts of Paris, was the venue for the Champions League final for the 1999/2000 season for the first time. Meeting “Real” and “Valencia” ended with a confident victory of the Madrid club with a score of 3: 0. This was the first time in the history of the Champions League that clubs from the same country played in the final.
6 years later, in the 2005/06 season, Barcelona and Arsenal competed for the trophy at Stade de France. Londoners, from the 18th minute playing in the minority after the removal of goalkeeper Jens Lehmann, opened the scoring 10 minutes before the break, but in the second half goals from Samuel Eto “O” and Juliano Belletti brought victory to the Catalans - 2: 1.
"San Siro" (Milan, Italy). Opened in 1926. The last reconstruction was carried out in 1989. Accommodates 80,018 spectators.
Stadium "San Siro" was renamed in honor of Giuseppe Meazza in 1979, but the historical name of the arena remains the most popular and recognizable all over the world. The Champions League final has been played here twice.
In the 2000/01 season, Bayern Munich and Valencia played a dramatic match in Milan, in which the 11-meter kicks played the main role. Already in the 2 nd minute, Gaisk Mendieta brought the Spaniards ahead from the penalty spot, and after 4 minutes the goalkeeper of the “Bats” Santiago Canisares deflected the 11-meter kick performed by Mehmet Scholl. At the beginning of the second half, Stefan Effenberg equalized the score from the penalty spot, and the fate of the match was decided in a series of post-match strikes, in which Bayern's players were more precise.
15 years later, in May 2016, Real and Atletico in the same arena almost exactly repeated the scenario of the game of Bayern and Valencia. Regular time also ended with a score of 1: 1, in extra time the teams failed to distinguish themselves, and the “Royal Club” won in the penalty shootout.
Hampden Park (Glasgow, Scotland). Opened in 1903. Renovated in 1999. Accommodates 51,866 spectators.
Real Madrid and Bayer 04 entered Hampden Park in the Champions League final in May 2002, and six months later the arena celebrated its 99th anniversary.

Old Trafford (Manchester, England). Opened in 1910. The last reconstruction was carried out in 2006. Accommodates 74,879 spectators.

"Veltins-Arena" (Gelsenkirchen, Germany). Opened in 2001. The last time the capacity of the stadium was increased in 2015, today it is 62,271 people.
The arena has been bearing its current name since the summer of 2005, earlier it was called "Aufschalke Arena". The stadium hosted the matches of the World Cup and ice hockey. Since 2002, the annual Christmas Biathlon Stars Race has been held here.
The 2004 Champions League final, held in Gelsenkirkhin, is one of the most memorable for Russian fans, as one of the goals was scored by Dmitry Alenichev. The Porto midfielder has set the final score of the match against AS Monaco (3-0). The Portuguese team at the time was led by Jose Mourinho, who became the youngest head coach in history to win the main club trophy in Europe.
Olympic Stadium (Istanbul, Turkey). Opened in 2002. Accommodates 80,500 spectators.
The stadium in Istanbul was built for the alleged holding of the 2008 Summer Olympics, but Turkey's bid did not receive the required number of votes, and the Olympics took place in Beijing. Currently, the arena in Istanbul is named after the first President of Turkey Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and is the largest in the country.
The 2005 Istanbul Champions League final is arguably the greatest in tournament history. In the decisive match, Milan beat Liverpool 3-0 after the first half, but goals from Gerrard, Schmitzer and Alonso turned everything upside down in the second half. There were no goals scored in extra time, and the British club turned out to be stronger in the penalty shootout.
Luzhniki (Moscow, Russia). Opened in 1956. The last reconstruction was carried out in 2017. Accommodates 81,000 spectators.

The game caused great excitement among fans both in England and in Russia, more than 67 thousand spectators were present in the stands. In the middle of the first half, Cristiano Ronaldo brought Manchester United forward, but before the break, Frank Lampard equalized. The second half and extra time passed without goals scored, and in the penalty shootout, the Mankunians were more precise.
"Santiago Bernabeu" (Madrid, Spain). Opened in 1947. The last reconstruction was carried out in 2001. Accommodates 81,044 spectators.
The home arena of one of the most successful clubs in modern football has hosted the Champions League final only once - in the 2009/10 season, but this so far only match has gone down in history.
In the Madrid final, Inter and Bayern Munich met. The match ended 2-0 in favor of the Italian club, and Jose Mourinho, who was working with the Nerazzurri at that time, became the third coach in history who managed to win the Champions Cup with two different teams (now there are five of them: in addition to the Portuguese Ernst Happel, Ottmar Hitzfeld, Jupp Heynckes and Carlo Ancelotti).
An interesting fact is that in the 2010 final there was only one Italian in the Milanese - Marco Materazzi, and even he appeared on the field in the 90th minute of the match.
Wembley (London, England). Opened in 2007. Accommodates 90,000 spectators.
The new Wembley is built on the site of the legendary arena that hosted the matches of the World and European Championships, Olympic Games and many European finals.
The 2010/11 Champions League final at the new Wembley was somewhat home to Manchester United, but it didn't help the Mancunians win the trophy. Barcelona, led by the Xavi - Iniesta - Messi trio, won 3-1.
In 2013, Wembley hosted the first German Champions League final between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. The victory and the cup were brought to the Bavarians by the accurate blow of Arjen Robben, who in the 89th minute set the final score - 2: 1.
Allianz Arena (Munich, Germany). Opened in 2005. Accommodates 67,812 spectators.
The decisive match of the 2011/12 Champions League was the first final of the tournament, which took place at the home stadium of one of the participants in the meeting - Bayern Munich hosted Chelsea. The account was opened only in the 83rd minute after hitting the hosts striker Thomas Muller, but five minutes later the leader of the attacks of Londoners Didier Drogba restored the balance.
The fate of the trophy was decided in a penalty shootout. “Bayern” again took the lead after a precise shot by Philip Lam and a miss by Juan Mata, but then the players of the guests realized all their attempts, while the players of the German team made two misfires. Thus, Chelsea won the Champions League for the first time in their history.
Millennium (Cardiff, Wales). Opened in 1999. Accommodates 73 930 spectators.
The home arena of the Wales national team was opened at the turn of the millennium, having received the corresponding name, but in 2016 the stadium received a new name - Principality Stadium, which, with a certain amount of imagination, can simply be translated as "Princely Stadium", since Wales is part of the United Kingdom, and the Queen's son Elizabeth II Charles bears the title of Prince of Wales.
But back to the Champions League. The final of the main club tournament in Europe took place here in 2017, with Real Madrid and Juventus participating in that match. Madrid won 4: 1 and won the second Champions League title in a row, and football fans will remember that meeting with the super goal of the Turin striker Mario Mandzhukic.
Metropolitano (Madrid, Spain). Opened in 1994. Renovated in 2017. Accommodates 67,700 spectators.
Liverpool and Tottenham met in the 2019 Champions League final. The final was the first in history for Tottenham and the first since the final in 2013, where at least one Spanish club did not play. Liverpool, reaching the final for the second time in a row, won the match 2-0. In his third Champions League final, Jurgen Klopp won the trophy as head coach.
For the first time in the history of the Russian championships, the army team, losing 0: 3 after the first half, won a strong-willed victory.

PFC CSKA head coach Leonid Slutsky, after a strong-willed victory over Mordovia with a score of 6: 4, stressed that the match in Saransk will go down in history and will be remembered for many years.
This match is a wonderful present for the fans. I think this fight will go down in history and everyone who was lucky enough to attend this game will remember it for many years.
- Do you have a rational explanation for what happened to the team in the first 20 minutes?
- I could not convey to the players that it is necessary to turn on from the first minute. As a result, the momentary relaxation turned into a disaster, which our guys heroically overcame.
- What did you say to the team during the break?
- He said that if we do not win the championship, then we will have to make our way to the European cups through the country's cup, starting with the match in Irkutsk (smiles).

Forward Kirill Panchenko, who scored the first goal of PFC CSKA in the match against Mordovia (6: 4), commented on the results of the game.
- Cyril, what did you play today: hockey, tennis or is it football?
- Football, of course! Probably, different factors affected. We were losing 0: 3, sending off, hot weather, artificial pitch. But the guys are great, they got together, talked during the break, and achieved such a victory. For the fans it was probably a football holiday.
- What did Leonid Viktorovich say when he let you out on the field?
- So that I move a lot, get balls. That was the attitude.
- What moment do you consider the turning point? Maybe your goal scored?
- It's hard for me to judge. I scored the first goal, the team was still losing 3: 1 after it. Probably, when the score became 3: 3, we perked up a little, ran forward. We conceded again, but we got together again, and in the end we scored three more goals.
- How did you feel at the moment when you conceded the fourth goal?
- To be honest, I was sure that we would score more goals and at least equalize. And it also turned out to win.
- What can you say about the support of the fans?
- Many thanks to the fans, many came, they could be heard, they supported the whole game, even at 0: 3. Thanks to them, we scored six goals.

ONCE AGAIN ABOUT THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT
In contrast, many things are perceived especially clearly. The devastating defeat of Spartak in Krasnodar first came to mind during the first half of the meeting in Saransk. CSKA in the match with “Mordovia” was initially perceived to be even a bigger favorite than the red-and-white in the dispute with “Kuban” - and just like the red-and-white, quickly experienced severe disappointment. The difference is that, having conceded twice before the break, Alenichev's charges in the second half failed even deeper: all their attempts to return to the game were truly futile, and the final score turned out to be devastating. CSKA behaved differently.
The game, crazy in its plot, once again made us remember about the main, perhaps, the capital of the army: the strength of the team spirit. By the 15th minute, the scoreboard was flashing "0: 3", but no signs of panic or a hint of apathy were visible in the vice-champion's actions. And during the break, the coaching staff also worked at a turning point in the game: Leonid Slutsky put the system-forming football player, Roman Eremenko, on the bench. The move, in general, suggested itself (the playmaker did not play for the umpteenth time), but it was necessary to decide on it.
LABELS RELEASE
Having sat in deep reserve, Panchenko flew onto the field, as if from a catapult - and became one of the main driving forces of the army renaissance in the second half. He did not limit himself to an extremely important first return goal - he continued to act actively, work and create. The guests were not going to give up anyway, and having received such an important "doping" in the form of a scored ball, they became completely unstoppable.
And now “Mordovia”, which until recently, seemed to be in complete control of the situation (three goals and an opponent with ten men left - what else is needed?) Was confused and “floated”. A quarter of an hour after the break, a real storm raged on the hosts' half of the field, literally scattering both their center line and defense.
... Leonid Slutsky is stubbornly considered by a well-known part of our football community to be a reinsurer. Perhaps in normal situations Main coach CSKA is not the most risky person, but in the conditions of force majeure, as the match in Saransk confirmed, he is much ready for non-standard solutions - somewhere even on the verge of an adventure.
Having lost the distant Mario Fernandez, Slutsky did not release a profile defender on the right flank of the defense - the attacking midfielder Tosic dropped a little back according to the scheme and began to control the entire edge. Panchenko, who replaced Eremenko, in the attack group was joined by Dzagoev, who had advanced from the depth of field, and the guests, in fact, continued to operate with one defensive midfielder. Moreover, they were not a master of burning out all living things Wernbloom (the Swede missed the match due to a bust of yellow cards), but Natcho, to whose mobility and the quality of the game many complaints had accumulated.
Finally, immediately after the guests scored their second goal and their backlog became minimal, the CSKA mentor removed defender Shchennikov from the game, replacing him on the left side with a nominal midfielder Milanov. And literally in a few tens of seconds the Bulgarian together with everyone celebrated the goal of Dumbya ...
PHOTO AS SYMBOL
And yet, it seems that a detailed analysis of the tactical component of the second half is not the most urgent topic. The basis of the radical revolution in the content of the game was precisely the mental component, as evidenced by the final twenty minutes of the match. Victory psychology is a great thing. Hardly scrambled out, CSKA conceded the fourth goal. And what? He brushed himself off, shook his head and ... went forward to win.
The hosts held out for some time, but it was noticeable that there was no longer a solid foundation in their game - and Lutsenko's second goal only delayed the inevitable, if he created the preconditions for something, it was for the next attacking fireworks performed by the vice-champion. There were both individual mistakes of the Saransk defense, and systemic disorganization - but neither one nor the other, with all the desire, can be attributed to fatigue or a total lack of class. CSKA, not allowing the circumstances to bring itself to its knees, broke the will of the opponent - and this became the key to success.
... After the final whistle, Slutsky and his players took pictures with the boys from the local youth sports school right on the field. Moreover, in the frame, the army team and the guys were mixed up - and there was a well-known symbolism in this: sometimes, in order to perfectly do their job in a critical situation, professionals need to somehow return to their origins.
IRKUTSK IS NOT A PANACEA
An enchanting victory in a match with a crazy plot is, of course, not a reason to turn a blind eye to problems and shortcomings. The first half of the match in Saransk found a lot of those in CSKA's game. Akinfeev's mistake is an accident, but before that, Vasily Berezutsky outright lost the horse fight on the outskirts of his own penalty area - this is how the hosts' first goal was born. In the episode that resulted in his removal, Mario Fernandez initially had one and a half meters of head start in front of his opponent - however, he turned around so slowly and awkwardly that he lost both space and time. The foul was more of a reflex action - but how to explain the previous behavior of an experienced defender?
After the Brazilian was expelled from the field at CSKA, the right flank of the defense was orphaned for some time (until Tosic got used to the changed scenery). However, the third ball flew into the army gate not from there, but from the opposite edge. Where did Shchennikov get stuck at the moment when an opponent was operating in his area of responsibility? Why was Ignashevich not so caught up in the dynamics of the episode, deprived of the opportunity, in principle, to influence what was happening in those moments in the penalty area?
The actions of Vasily Berezutsky are understandable: he headlong hurried to the left flank thrown by Shchennikov. But the last one who tried to prevent Mukhametshin from closing the scoring chamber was not Ignashevich at all, as might have been assumed based on the game and positional logic, but Natkho ...
The bottom line is not even that this situation at the end of a quarter of an hour did not just put CSKA on the brink of disaster in a single match - in the end, as we already know, the guests found the strength to rise from the ashes and turned the crushing defeat into a convincing victory. The episode is indicative in principle - as an example of a chain of blunders and mistakes. Now they have been punished by “Mordovia” - it is naive to believe that rivals in the Champions League group will be more lenient.
Do not forget about Rykov hitting the post in the first minutes after the break - this was right after Panchenko broke the score. CSKA then outright (and this was not the only episode of this kind) lost the air at their gates. How would it have turned out for the army team, had the central defender of “Mordovia” hit the target? The same comeback?
... Any phantasmagoria has its own boundaries. And not during the break of every match the coach will have a "whip" in the form of a threat to send the main team to the cup match in Irkutsk.

CSKA is on fire 0: 3. “Mordovia” dominates the field, constantly finds holes of unrealistic dimensions in the defense of “army men”, few doubts about the victory of the Saransk club. Somewhere we have already seen all this, right? However, today's scenario does not imply a crazy comeback in the second half. Moreover, this time Mordovia scores the third goal after the break. CSKA is limited to only one response. The other five are lost somewhere.
Rather, not somewhere, but in very specific places. They are scattered all over the world - after all, almost all the main players of CSKA have left for their national teams. Therefore, the youth squad is more likely to be put up against Mordovia. True, in symbiosis with the players of the first - Mario Fernandez, Nababkin, Vasin and Panchenko.
Friendly match
CSKA - Mordovia - 1:3.
Goals: Ignatovich, 31 (0: 1), Samodin, 38 (0: 2), Lutsenko, 53 (0: 3), Panchenko, 60 (1: 3).
The ship without a captain is accompanied by his assistants and another Victor - Goncharenko... No, no, the Belarusian specialist did not become, albeit temporarily, the main one in CSKA. Viktor Mikhailovich behaves emphatically (or unintentionally) modestly. Goncharenko walks out of the under-stands room after Onopko, like his shadow.
Viktor Mikhailovich is holding some white papers just as anxiously as an ordinary employee is applying for a vacation. But Goncharenko's work is in full swing - wrapped in a hood, he sits on the bench. Next to Onopko.
During the match, the Belarusian acts as an analyst. In the sense that he watches football mostly silently. This Onopko imitates the head coach - no, he does not swing in his chair, but actively prompts the charges. “Good, good!”, “Closer to him, closer” and other classic spells are uttered by Viktor Savelievich.
And even swears with the judges. With the second goal of "Mordovia" there is a suspicion of an offside position. What Onopko reports to the reserve referee. He arranges a free lecture on football rules for all those present (shouts can be heard on the podium as well): “This is not an offside position! The defender threw his head to the opponent's forward ... "
This version more or less calms Onopko. But he still gets up from his seat regularly. Gradually, Goncharenko also comes into play. V. (we still have only Victor) Mikhailovich also makes several raids to the field. ...
It is symbolic that Goncharenko revives when CSKA scores 1: 3, and immediately creates a couple of chances. As if anticipating: now we can turn the tide of the match again. Who, if not Goncharenko, knows how it happens. When you lose to Mordovia.
However, the audience does not wait for the comeback, although until the very end they demand from their team "Beg-give!" A couple of disgruntled spectators are screaming at all: "Why did we come here, huh ?!" But basically a hundred fans are positive: "We are sick with heart and soul." How else, if people came to a friendly match on Sunday at 11 am. Having survived the blizzard of the first half.
In silence, by the way, does not play and Andrey Gordeev... He's our "full-fledged" chief, because his speech takes almost 90 minutes. “Great, good, yes, yes”, “meet here, here”, “cool, Lyokha!”, “Turned right away” - and here are his main commands.
The latter he especially often repeats at the end of the meeting. It can be seen that the change in the status of the match and, in fact, the composition of the opponent still does not allow Gordeev to forget what happened in Saransk. Sometimes he gets nervous as if the match is official. The ghost of the comeback haunts him too.
“Are you going to play at all ?! Come on, come back! " - Gordeev reprimands one of the charges very harshly. The players themselves of "Mordovia" also do not forget to communicate. "Rus, you are the best!" - Mukhametshina the team respects and almost never scolds. Vlasov he fires himself up, remembering mom, someone else’s mom, missing from a lethal position. Oleg and his partners make claims after too strong a pass: “I will Usain Bolt, whether?!"
CSKA players do not have such speeds either. But the Brazilian defender of "army" Mario Fernandez speaks Russian. Rather, his understanding. Victor Vasin prompts Fernandez in Russian: "Already, Mario, already!" The Brazilian nods in understanding and continues to work 200 percent.
But CSKA still loses 1: 3 - however, for, in fact, the youth team, the result is quite good. Therefore, the “veteran of the team” Fernandez after the game is not at all depressed. On the contrary, despite not the most pleasant weather, the defender signs autographs for 10 minutes and agrees to any kind of selfies.
"Mario, Gracias, you are the best!" - fans thank him in three languages at once.
"Letting go of Mario, letting go!" - asks the caring director of public relations and information policy of CSKA Sergey Aksyonov.
“Yes, let's do it, otherwise he will catch a cold,” - thinks about the well-being of the Brazilian and the employee of the stadium “October”.
Goncharenko and Onopko are also doing well. The Belarusian coach flies out of the locker room, then returns to it again. On the way, solving work issues with the staff of CSKA. And Onopko solves issues with journalists. Telling the "Championship" correspondent "is there life without Slutsky?"
We are now working in tandem with Goncharenko, - says Onopko. - Together we help Slutsky, together we lead the team when Leonid Viktorovich is in the national team.
- It's great, but without Slutsky, Mordovia couldn't win back 0: 3 ...
- Yes, I remembered the match in Saransk, when they missed the third ... Like, everything is going according to plan, now we will start to recoup. But in any case, we had a much better second half. In the end, they played it 1: 1. And so the guys from the double, of course, find it hard to play against adults, skilled men.
- Do you even cope with Goncharenko without Slutsky? Or is it really hard?
- In CSKA everything is built, everything is adjusted. We plan and discuss both training and games in Slutsky's absence. Therefore, no problems arise. We know how to temporarily live without Leonid Viktorovich.
We just need to go out in a situation in which he is absent from the national team. But globally Slutsky cannot be replaced. He's the head coach.
