Which player scored Real Madrid's winner in the 1998 UEFA Champions League final?
Answer
Predrag Mijatović
Answer
Predrag Mijatović
Predrag Mijatović scored Real Madrid’s winner in the 1998 UEFA Champions League final.
Real Madrid defeated Juventus 1–0 on 20 May 1998 at the Amsterdam Arena. Mijatović scored the only goal in the second half, finishing after the ball fell to him in the penalty area. The victory gave Madrid their seventh European Cup and their first in 32 years.
The result ended a long wait for one of Europe’s most successful clubs. It also denied Juventus a third consecutive final victory: the Italian side had won the competition in 1996 and reached the final again in 1997. Real Madrid’s triumph marked their first title in the Champions League era, which began after the European Cup was renamed in 1992.
The other listed players were prominent figures, but none scored the final’s only goal. Davor Šuker and Raúl were Real Madrid teammates, while Fernando Hierro was the club’s captain and a defender. Juventus goalkeeper Angelo Peruzzi was beaten by Mijatović’s finish.
