The2003–04 UEFA Champions League was the 12th season ofUEFA's premier European clubfootball tournament, theUEFA Champions League, since its rebranding from the European Cup in 1992, and the 49th tournament overall. This was the first UEFA Champions League edition to feature a new format with a 16-team knockout round instead of a second group stage.[1]
The competition was won by Portugal'sPorto, who defeatedMonaco of France 3–0 at theArena AufSchalke inGelsenkirchen, Germany. This was Portugal's first win since 1987, and Porto's second European trophy in two years, following theirUEFA Cup success from the previous season. This was the second consecutive victory in a European cup for Porto coachJosé Mourinho, who beat Monaco coached byDidier Deschamps, a two-time winner of the competition as a player. As winners of the competition, Porto went on to represent UEFA in the2004 Intercontinental Cup.
Milan were the defending champions, but were eliminated byDeportivo La Coruña in the quarter-finals.
A total of 72 teams from 48 UEFA member associations participated in the 2003–04 UEFA Champions League. Liechtenstein (who does not have their own domestic league) as well as Andorra and San Marino did not participate. Also not admitted was Azerbaijan, which was suspended by UEFA. Each association enters a certain number of clubs to the Champions League based on its leaguecoefficient; associations with a higher league coefficient may enter more clubs than associations with a lower league coefficient, but no association may enter more than four teams.
For the 2003–04 UEFA Champions League, the associations are allocated places according to their 2002UEFA country coefficients, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 1997–98 to 2001–02.[2]
